Keeping a Journal / iDailyDiary Review

I like to keep a journal of daily work experiences, primarily things that are directly related to the project that I am working on.  When I run into something that is significant, I click on the icon in the taskbar, press F5(inserts date), and enter the details.  Journaling does not take very long.  It helps me put together a weekly status report and gives me the ability to account for my daily activities if I ever have to justify them.

The application that I am using is called iDailyDiary.  This application is very easy to use.  The free version actually has features that makes this program usable.

Free, Trial/full version download page

The three four things that I like the most:

  • Stays resident in the taskbar for easy access.
  • Clear workspace... no extra junk to get in the way
  • Sticky tabs that are not related to any specific journal entry
  • I can take a screen shot and include it with the journal entry

Features listed from the iDailyDiary website:
Key Features

Bullet
Data files encrypted and password protected
Bullet Richtext Editor
Bullet Fully Searchable
Bullet Insert Pictures, URL's and Hypertext
Bullet Multiple "pages" for each day
Bullet Export to HTML format to create web pages

iDailyDiary Professional

The Professional version contains all the great features of the free version plus more:

Bullet Spell Checker and Thesaurus
Bullet Sticky Tabs, non-dated entries
Bullet Templates
Bullet Print Multiple Pages or entire Diary
Bullet Print Headers and Footers (and other Print settings)
Bullet Support for Tables
Bullet Insert Smileys
Bullet Insert/Store Files of any kind (including Audio and Video)
Bullet Manual Backup and Restore diary data files
Bullet Tree-View style Browser for diary entries, sticky tabs and templates
Bullet All for just $30 (US)

There is also a forum available.
