In the last of those posts, Ram\u00edrez announced that he was starting an official beta program. I wrote that I might sign up but as usual inertia prevailed and I didn&rsquo;t get around to it.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn his <a href=\"https:\/\/lmno.lol\/alvaro\/the-mac-observer-showcases-journelly\">latest post<\/a> on Journelly, Ram\u00edrez notes that Mac Observer has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macobserver.com\/tips\/round-ups\/journelly-journal-app-ios\/\">review of Journelly<\/a>. I hopped over there to take a look and was impressed. It&rsquo;s a nice review and makes Journelly seem like an even better fit for my needs than I had previously thought. If you&rsquo;re the slightest bit interested in Journelly or think you might be, you should definitely take a look at the Mac Observer review.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRam\u00edrez&rsquo;s posts on Journelly tend to emphasize it&rsquo;s use as a sort of private Twitter\/X but the Mac Observer review makes clear that it can also be used as a kind of journaling app as well. One of the best parts, from my point of view, is that the data is saved in Org mode format so I should be able to integrate it into my Emacs workflow easily.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn any event, I was finally able to bestir myself to email Ram\u00edrez and ask for a beta invite. He responded right away with my invite and I installed it without a problem. I&rsquo;ve never participated in an iOS beta before and wasn&rsquo;t sure how to get the beta app installed. It turns out to be easy. Apple has a special app called <a href=\"https:\/\/testflight.apple.com\/\">TestFlight<\/a> that automates everything. You simply install TestFlight, click on the invite, and everything else happens automatically.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI just finished the install and haven&rsquo;t had time to play with Journelly yet but I&rsquo;ll let you know what I think as soon as I get a bit of experience with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&rsquo;ve written a couple of times about \u00c1lvaro Ram\u00edrez&rsquo;s Journelly [1, 2] and how it seemed like a good fit for my memo book needs.
