<p><cite>jrnl</cite> 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.</p>
<p><cite>jrnl</cite> also plays nice with the fabulous <a class="reference external" href="http://dayoneapp.com">DayOne</a> and can read and write directly from and to DayOne Journals.</p>
<p>Optionally, your journal can be encrypted using the <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard">256-bit AES</a>.</p>

<h2>Why keep a journal?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-keep-a-journal" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Journals aren&#8217;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&#8217;t.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t wasted it.</p>
<p>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&#8217;ve done it. Or use it as a quick way to keep a change log. Or use it to keep a lab book.</p>
