MacJournal
Journaling and blogging software
MacJournal provides a native macOS environment for creating and organizing journal entries and blog posts. It supports a modern interface with Dark Mode, editable metadata for each entry, and multiple viewing options such as timeline and map modes, allowing users to browse their writings chronologically or geographically. The application includes tabbed entry editing, advanced text‑cleanup tools, and a reorganized menu bar that streamline the writing workflow.
The software is aimed at individuals who keep personal journals, maintain blogs, or need a structured place to record thoughts and events on a Mac. It offers language support for English and Danish and runs on macOS Ventura and earlier versions back to macOS 10.14.4, with universal binaries for Apple‑silicon (M1/M2) machines. Features such as editable metadata and map viewing cater to users who want richer context for their entries.
MacJournal is distributed for free and receives limited email support. It has a history of updates that maintain compatibility with the current and previous macOS releases, and it includes bug fixes and performance improvements with each new version.
