Yup, that was my understanding.
You can also instantly import web pages (as well as any other kind of file) by printing them to MacJournal - it automatically creates a suitable entry for Safari.
And the range of export formats is positively overwhelming - there’s no danger of not being able to get your data out of the thing!
I’m doing something I told myself I really wouldn’t do after settling on Pagico as my preferred task manager - I’m experimenting with task management in MacJournal. Of course it doesn’t have the powerful sharing capabilities of Pagico, which means it’s only ideal for personal task management, but it has everything you could possibly need to manage your own to-dos.
It’s also set up for writing books and publishing them to Lulu.com (it includes things like writing goals, word counts, templated book sections and so on), and can be used as a blog editor for a variety of popular platforms (including WordPress). Oh, and you can open entries up in separate windows (or tabs, if you prefer). And the QuickNote facility “stays on top” of other apps while you’re jotting down a quick note.
Plus I confess I find the interface a good deal more appealing that e.g. KeepIt’s…
Oh dear. What a CRIMPed afternoon.

And finally, it has a whole bunch of formatting tricks I normally associate with programmers’ text editors in a special “Clean Up” menu, including
- removal of multiple spaces (turning them into one space)
- removal of line breaks
- removal of lead spaces
- removal of styles
- removal of links
and various others. I can’t believe you can get this for $25 (if you take advantage of one of Mariner Software’s many regular discount offers).
It also syncs very rapidly with my iPad and iPhone, apparently by direct WiFi (although it appears you can also use iCloud and Dropbox - but I prefer direct WiFi when it works as well as this).

The amount of meta-data you can pack onto an entry is very impressive. And you can customize the info bar so you can see additional pieces of meta data. One word of caution: If you open the info panel (by clicking the little italic i button), clicking on the button for changing the icon for the entry results in a crash. I reported this to Mariner and was told they are aware of it. (Clock is still ticking on their promised update.)

And, the Timeline view and the Calander view.
Very neat

Entry templates are in my top 5 MacJournal goodies list. I use these for daybook entries and other categories.
Dellu’s spot on about the hidden preferences—I doubt there is much consumer software that is so configurable. And not just tweaks (like “red” versus “blue”), but rich features that can be activated or not. I imagine the codebase for MacJournal is very complex, which is maybe why we see only rare and incremental change from Dan.
