I really love this app and have started to use it daily. I know it has a spell checker but it would be cool if it had auto correct or even suggestions. It ends up telling me I spelled a word wrong and then I have to google the correct way to spell it.
Very nice tool! I've been using this now and then for about half a year. Is this still in development? I hope there will be feature such as attaching word/video files, and keyword searching (which would be helpful when looking back) in the future.
Hey all! quick question here, not sure if i'll get a response. How would I run an export of my previous journals? Just wanted to test the functionality and I can't spot it within the portable version.
Hello! I love this tool, I've been using it for daily journaling for about a week now. However, after a recent power outage at my house, my PC disconnected from the internet and reconnected when it powered back on. Now I'm getting an error, which I have included below. Can you please help me fix this? I can provide more details if asked. I'd love to continue to use this journaling tool, any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Got this in the charity bundle! Just wanted to say thank you for making such a wonderful little app. It has been extremely helpful for me! Love the minimalist approach.
This is a very usefull software that makes daily journaling easier by automatically tracking and assigning entries to dates. And I dont know anything that suites this specific function so easily while being simple and quick to start So I really appreciate it. I want to give this a good rating but as of now there is some polish and maybe additional features I'd like to see first. And I dont know if I can change my rating after I give one. as of now I would give this 4/5. Partially because right now I dont know anything as well designed as this for this specific purpose. Obsidian has great features and customization but set up is genuinely daunting. And I think with time this journal could strike the perfect balance. (also props for being visually appealing)
Bug I noticed: sometimes the format pop up behaves strangely and I click through it rather than the buttons themselves. When this happens I have to click the bottom 1/4th of the button in order to get it to work. This only occurs when the window starts running out of space towards the bottom of the screen.
Feature Suggestions (if planning to develop this further)
Hotkey config
Custom font choice for accessibility. You could make it uploadedable but having the OpenDyslexic font family built in would also be GREATLY appreciated. (I have Dyslexia)
Multiple calendar views you can switch between, previewing a whole year, a month, or a week.
option to show the day number on the boxes, on-hover, or both as options.
Option to preview entry on hover
Checkboxes, maybe counters too. (counters might be redundant)
I love using this, I've been journalling consistently for about a month now, where I used to always fall off after doing it a couple of times. Really simple, and easy to use, and looks great.
Today I don't know what I might have touched but when I opened JRNL I noticed there was a formatting bar at the top of the window with a box around my text area. I could also pull up something at the bottom which produced a blank white area where text didn't go, and which I could adjust by pulling it again.
I like this formatting bar (usually only appears if I highlight text), and I even realized I could change the font from this!
For the record, this unusual state did not happen on subsequent launches of JRNL. So all it took to "solve" this was just restarting JRNL. Though ironically I actually kinda like it better in that odd state...
I downloaded the portable one because I prefer portable versions of things if possible. I had to edit the config.json because the window size defaulted to wider than my screen and the gear icon was impossible to find, as well as the close button.
So... if someone else has issues use notepad++ to edit the "width" and "height" in the "WindowBounds" section.
Also reading other replies I see I could have just double clicked the top bar. Oh well, Live and learn!

i would do anything for an image embed option!!!
Would also like to know how to open the settings :3
The settings gear is in the bottom right corner of the JRNL window.
I don't see any gears unfortunately.
I think there is no "settings" button in the installer version, only in the portable one (which is the 2.0).
it's only in 2.0 :]

How do i open the settings?
In 2.0 (portable version) there is an icon of gears at bottom right. In 1.0 I guess it's either no settings or changing it in the settings file

YMMV, but after installing the non-portable version I was able to run the portable one just fine even from removable storage. Hope this helps.

How can I turn off the spellchecker?
The portable version won't open for me, is there anything i should do? Like decrompress all of the pak files?

But, what caused this to appear?
