Future of Mémoires

Mémoires is not the only project we do for Mac OS X. Actually, it was born as a side hobby project when making a “bigger” application (not related to journaling at all).

The first beta version of Mémoires had been put on our website at the beginning of August, and we decided to sell it. We even made a page for pre-ordering, but never announced Mémoires (except for to my twitter buddies), because we got back to another project.

Later I though: why not announce Mémoires and let people use this simple application? We’re not going to develop it anymore, so let’s release it for free. And something unexpected happened…

Mémoires had been fireballed and TUAW’ed, got lots of downloads from MacUpdate, VersionTracker, etc., and we received a lot of feedback from users. It seems like people actually need an app like this!

So I stopped writing another project and got back to developing Mémoires to make it even better.

So here we go now, I am fully committed to our journaling application. But we are a tiny software company, we have to make money to support our living, right?

It’s a tough decision, but we’re thinking of making Mémoires a shareware application, which you will be able to purchase for a small fee. This will help us continue developing it. I’ve got a lot of ideas, and you, users, send a lot of interesting feature requests – we don’t want to abandon this little app.

What do you think, guys? Are you OK with this? All we need is your permission.

New Features

• Preferences item “Reopen last document on startup”.
• Saving of window and left panel position and size.
• Adding and removing of entries in search view.

Fixed Bugs

• Didn’t show alert on replacing files when exporting.
• Wrong adding of entry when clicking on empty title in search view.

Get it from http://www.codingrobots.com/memoires/ or use the automatic update feature (click Mémoires > Check for updates…).

• New Mac OS X Leopard-style calendar.
• Highlighting of dates with entries in calendar.
• Exporting to rich text (RTFD, RTF) and plain text formats.
• Spotlight integration.
• Clicking on empty title starts a new entry.

You can download the new version from Mémoires web page or, if you have the previous version, click Mémoires > Check for updates…

We are happy to announce the public beta release of Mémoires — our first product for Mac OS X (second, if you count our popular Mahalo widget).

Mémoires is the best way to keep your journal on your Mac. Choose a day and write as many notes as you like. Then browse your journal by day using calendar, or search for notes using the instant-search feature.

Mémoires has a gorgeous user interface. Even though it’s a powerful application, it is very easy to use. No distractions, no complicated forms: just two buttons and one search field. Even easier than a paper journal!

Best of all, it’s free. Download it now, and let us know what you think.
