Like Paul, I have yet to have any of the problems that others fear might happen with MacJournal. Also, Mariner updated their writing app Contour 2 in December, so the company isn’t exactly extinct just yet. I’ve sent a question to Mariner asking about the future of MJ. I will let you know if I get any kind of response—I did get an auto response saying someone will get back to me soon, so at least the electricity is on there.

Day One has a vastly superior iOS experience and that’s really important to me in a journaling app. If I can’t quickly journal from my phone, I’m way less likely to do it. I was looking at MJ as a note-taking solution, but that’s probably just because I still can’t find a note-taking solution that satisfies me. Ulysses, Bear, The Archive, nvALT, Tinderbox, OmniOutliner, OmniFocus, Curio/Curiota—all of them have at least one deadly flaw (at least to my OCD CRIMPing self)... *Quiver* comes very close to perfection, and is now back in active development, so we’ll see (it’s current weakness is a read-only iOS “app”—but the dev knows this).

Quiver doesn’t support Spotlight. The developer promised for years, never implemented it.
How about KeepIt?

That’s true, but I don’t use Spotlight much. I prefer in-app search to global search. And I use Alfred and LaunchBar anyway.

Forgot that, I’m trying that one too. Lack of theming is annoying though.

I also use Alfred. But, Alfred cannot search into a database if Spotlight cannot give it.
By Spotlight, I mean the general transparency: DEVONthink’s index also depends on this transparent storage system.
If you don’t care about the Spotlight, I think Tinderbox offers the most complex and complete system. I love KeepIt for the transparent storage it offers.
