I no longer pull social media posts (because I cleaned out my Twitter feed and almost never post now), and I don’t need audio, video or transcriptions. I only use a small percentage of Day One’s functionality - I occasionally insert images, and I use the geotagging on iOS, but that’s about the sum of it.
The MJ iOS app, unupdated for nearly two years, badly needs for its UI and cruft (like manual-only syncing) to be overhauled. IIRC on an early Day One podcast they said that the overwhelming majority of users were mainly or solely using it on iOS. But these days the journaling category has migrated to focusing on mobile and cross-platform (including web access) solutions and Mariner is playing catch-up perhaps too slowly. I’d be very happy if MacJournal showed over time that it was back in business and regularly supported and updated.

Let me note that I have not confirmed this but on MacUpdate someone’s review states that after installing the MacGourmet “Simply launching the program when connected to the internet will immediately connect the user to close on 100 (yes ONE HUNDRED) monetising advertising, tagging and tracking servers.” If true, (again I didn’t install to confirm) his makes me a more than a bit concerned about the revenue model of software by or distributed by Mariner. Schimpf’s website says the app is ‘distributed’ by Mariner, but there seems to be little daylight between the two entities - MacJournal went from free to pay in 2004, and Mariner was right there from the beginning.įinally, there’s a question of whether you’re being tracked while using this software. Most recently it sold as part of a $29 bundle along with Montage, Storymill, Narrator, Contour 2, Persona and Mariner Write, which seems more and more like a shell of a software company milking older apps than developing and supporting software.

It took forever to update on another forum last July someone emailed them and was told “Yes, we ran in to some delays but do plan on releasing an update in the near future.” So if six months is ‘near future’ what can be said about the pace of development?Īs for Mariner’s products in general, Mariner Write hasn’t seen a serious update since 2015, and MacGourmet last got a serious update in the Spring of 2016 (and the deluxe version only got a bugfix in mid 2017). I wish the app & dev well, but I’m a little dubious about it right now.
