Highly recommend this for knowledge management. Great app. Can't wait for Android version!

@nickdeshpande Hi Nick, thanks so much! An Android app is in the horizon, but in the meantime, you can actually use our Progressive Web App on Android. I'm an Android user myself, and we've done a lot of work to make our mobile web app responsive and functional. There's a few more improvements to be made, but I definitely use it daily and find value in it! And with PWAs, you can even use it as a share target to save things! To "install" the PWA, go to https://usejournal.com/app on Chrome on Android and hit the menu button, and hit "Add to Home Screen". It'll actually be added like an app!

Congrats @samiur1204 and co!! Got a chance to play with the new Journal a few days ago and I’m super impressed with how easy it was to start collecting links and notes and create something that I’d be excited to share! I've got something fun coming out soon with Journal for Divinations, my newsletter. Also think their focus on the individual’s productivity will be really helpful for a lot of creative people.

Thanks for hunting us @nbashaw! Hey Product Hunters! 👋 Today, I’m proud to launch Journal 2.0 for Desktop: the productivity tool that helps you make space to breathe, think and create. Modern productivity tools are built to support teams, not individuals. We don’t think that should be the case. That’s why we’re building Journal to empower you the individual, to encourage your creative process, and support your well being along the way. Journal will: - Give you peace of mind knowing that all your content is in one easily accessible place. - Be considerate of your mental health. - Be your simple organization system that appreciates imperfection, and offers as much support as you need. - Help you turn messy ideas into beautiful projects that you’re proud to share with friends, co-workers, and the public. - Focus on you first, not just your team at work, and help you bring your personal and professional projects to life. Whether you’re celebrating deserving people in your industry, designing the WFH setup of your dreams, or launching your app on Product Hunt 😻, Journal will help you bring meaningful projects to life. It’s a productivity tool that gives you space to organize all your ideas so that you can keep your projects moving forward and your head clear. Here’s how it can help you: ☁️ Make a Space for every project. Spaces make it easy to organize, share, and collaborate on any topic or project. Examples: - Celebrating Black Creators in Tech: https://usejournal.com/app/space... - Trip to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole: https://usejournal.com/app/space... - Journal 2.0 Launch Scratchpad: https://usejournal.com/app/space... - WFH Setups: https://usejournal.com/app/space... 💡 Keep your inspiration flowing. When you see something you want to remember, instantly save it to Journal and organize it later. Anytime you feel a thought bouncing around your head, write it down. 🧠 Leave no idea behind. When your notes and links and files and emails are all over the place, there’s no need to worry. Inbox: Use your Inbox to quickly organize relevant content into your Spaces. Search: Get back to everything you save in Journal. with a quick search. Integrations: Connect apps like Gmail, Drive, and Slack, to find and add content from all your apps. 🧘‍♂️ Reclaim mental space When you feel like time is flying by, take a moment to slow down. Reclaim mental space by pressing “Pause” once in a while. In the rare case we send you a notification, you can trust that it will include useful content. 🙌 Share your spaces for the world to see. Spaces can be private, shared with select people, or made public for everyone. When you create something useful, share it with others! If you’re excited by our mission or think Journal can help you bring your projects to life, join our community. We’d love for you to try Journal and tell us how we can make it better. Nothing would make us happier than giving you some space to breathe, think and create.

Been using Journal since March and I'm impressed by how easy to use it is, congrats @samiur1204 and team!
Samiur Rahman
@rphgrc Thanks for being an early supporter Raph! Glad you're enjoying it!

A truly useful tool - I was sceptical at first, but this tool just integrates and allows me to sort, group and gather my thoughts with little effort. The Journal team have a great product on their hands, and for me, this is an App that is Pinterest and so much more.... I stumbled across the tool, gave it a go and am hooked. Posting live location reports from GPS into the Journal when out walking, saving recipes that I want to try out, putting all my thoughts in one place, even collating video and image collections - this does it all. @samiur1204 you and your team have a great product, and I cant wait to see what comes next.....

Been using this for about a month now, and it's one of those things you didn't realize how much you needed it until you start using it.This is one of the BEST tools for idea development! It's a lot like the old MacOs application "Guy Friday" a free-form database application, but WAYYYY BETTER!!!! Kudos to the developers...Journal ROCKS!!!

I love this as a place to do brain-dumps and keeping readings & links that I want to get back to later. I love that I can come back to long-reads when i have more brain-space. I also like how easy it is to add things from my inbox, internet, phone, etc. The sections w/in the spaces are also great for categorizing without creating and endless maze of folders. I use it everyday!

🎉 Big congratulations to you @samiur1204 & the journal team! I've been using Journal for a little over 2 months while building LearnStash.com and it's quickly become my main way of saving and organizing the crazy amount of personal development resources I find on a daily basis. I love that with the chrome and safari extensions + iOS flight test app, I'm able to save everything I'm finding with ease. And then when I'm ready to review everything I've saved, it reminds to me organize my inbox. So helpful! We'll definitely be featuring this in our productivity apps & tools collection when we launch in a few weeks. 💙 Emilio from Learn Stash

@emilioameza That's super exciting Emilio! Thanks for being an early supporter!

Has anyone come across any Journal 2.0 demo worth viewing?
Sam DeBrule
@mordodemaru Hey Jordi! We don’t have a full demo video of Journal, but here’s one explaining our 2.0 redesign to our early access members:
Jordi Mon Companys
@samdebrule Thanks, Sam. Will check tomorrow.
Jordi Mon Companys
@samdebrule Sam I'm trying to log in following the instruction from an email invite on the 22nd of June. They say: Step 1: Install Journal for Mac Step 2: Click 'Create an account'. Step 3: Copy and paste your invite code (everything including your email address) in the Mac app to sign up: But when I click on create an account I am offered to sign up with Google or Apple. I replied to that email twice seeking your help and you didn't respond.
Sam DeBrule
@mordodemaru So sorry, Jordi. Not sure how I missed the email. We don't require an invite code anymore to sign up, but we do require that members sign up with Google or Apple. If you select one of the options after clicking 'create an account', you should be able to get started. Will track down the email and follow up with you there as well.

I am loving using journal. Been collecting resources, including podcasts, articles, videos, pdfs, and emails and putting them all into a beautiful space to access when needed. So much better than plowing through a long list of links to find the thing I want. And I love the reminder to breathe! @samdebrule
