Interesting – reminiscent (in general features) of MacJournal, also an oldie but goldie. But the tagging is much more sophisticated.

FYI MacJournal remains totally free, although it’s long been in maintenance mode with no new features apparently forthcoming.
The dev’s website shows the latest version to be 7.3.1 but the software download site MacUpdate lists a v7.4 release dated two weeks ago. Not sure what’s going on there - whether the download site is wrong or if 7.4 got pulled for some reason.

The apparent contradiction is solved if you go to the “Betas” option on the MacJournal website: this option gives access to a development blog by Dan Schimpf where you can find the latest entry “MacJournal 7.4” dated January 10, 2024, where he claims the latest (out-of-beta) version is released. The attached message is revealing:
> “It’s been too long, but MacJournal 7.4 is finally out. I’m also dreadfully behind on email but I plan to begin to catch up now. Please update via the Check for Update menu item and let me know of any issues that you have.”
In the same entry there is a link to download version 7.4 directly from their server.

The direct access to Dan’s development blog is as follows:

And, by the way, on its website, you can read the following:
> “We are looking into getting the iOS app back on the App Store with syncing functionality intact.”

MacJournal version 7.4 includes a set of changes and improvements that the author references in this undocumented entry on the home page of his website:
https://danschimpf.com/appcasts/7.4.html
These include improvements in the import from DayOne.
(It seems quite obvious that Dan is overwhelmed by the work he has to endure. I send him my best regards).
