Overview of Mémoires

Mémoires is the best way to keep your journal on Mac OS X. 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.

Simplicity

The key value of the program is simplicity. Just select a day, and click [+] button to add new entry for that day. Days that have entries are highlighted with rounded white rectangle in calendar. You can browse calendar to find your previous entries.

Images

You can insert photos and other images to your entries – just drag and drop them into the editor.

Quick Drawing

Mémoires comes with built-in drawing panel, which you can use to add sketches, drawings, and doodles into your entries.

Instant Search

Search in Mémoires is instant (thanks to Core Data technology from Apple). Start typing text in the search field and the search results table will appear instead of the calendar. Then you can click on entries to preview or edit them, or double-click to go back to calendar and jump to the entry creation date. Mémoires also integrates with Spotlight, so you can find your journals using the build-in search in Mac OS X.

Multiple Journals

With Mémoires you can create as much journals as you like, because journal is just a single file on your disk, just like your other documents. This simplifies backup of journals. (And if you have Time Machine enabled, your journals are being backed up automatically.)

Exporting to Industry Standard Formats

You information should be free. Mémoires doesn't lock you to a proprietary file format. Internaly it uses the industry standard SQLite database, and it supports exporting to RTFD, RTF and plain text formats, so that you can easily open your journals in any text processor (like TextEdit, Pages, OpenOffice or Microsoft Word.)

Importing

You were writing your valuable journal in other program, but decided to switch to Mémoires? No problem – it can import journals from MacJournal and Journler with two clicks.
