+What is jrnl?
+-------------
+
+`jrnl` is a simple journal application for your command line. Journals are stored as human readable plain text files - you can put them into a Dropbox folder for instant syncing and you can be assured that your journal will still be readable in 2050, when all your fancy iPad journal applications will long be forgotten.
+
+`jrnl` also plays nice with the fabulous `DayOne <http://dayoneapp.com>`_ and can read and write directly from and to DayOne Journals.
+
+Optionally, your journal can be encrypted using the `256-bit AES <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard>`_.
+
+Why keep a journal?
+-------------------
+
+Journals aren't only for 13-year old girls and people who have too much time on their summer vacation. A journal helps you to keep track of the things you get done and how you did them. Your imagination may be limitless, but your memory isn't.
+
+For personal use, make it a good habit to write at least 20 words a day. Just to reflect what made this day special, why you haven't wasted it.
+
+For professional use, consider a text-based journal to be the perfect complement to your GTD todo list - a documentation of what and how you've done it. Or use it as a quick way to keep a change log. Or use it to keep a lab book.
