I am still using Journler as a digital notebook where I write what have I agreed on meetings or phone or whatever on a day so I can review whatever I have communicated with anyone. It works great as I can add reference files and emails to every entry on Journler, which odly is only possible as inline on MacJournal so I’m not ready to move to that.

I do use Together for collecting all random piece of information from websites and documents as well as pictures, pdfs and design for later review and reference.

I wanted to tell you that the developer of Together has always responded very quickly and I would say the support has been very good and fast.

Yes, correct. Yojimbo does not offer an iPhone application. However, Webjimbo gives access to Yojimbo over the iPhone or any desktop where Yojimbo is itself not installed. Webjimbo costs $30 and you can read more here.

Check out “NoteBook” from Circus Ponies. Funny company name, but don’t let that stop you from testing it. I’m a law student, have notes for 28 cases, the actual case text, lecture notes, and emails — all in one file with full-text search capability. My favorite part is the “multidex” feature, that keeps an updated index various features, like highlighting, keywords, search terms and more. Multidex even keeps an index of every word in the file (for me each class has a file, but I think files can be intertwined). So, when I want to see every instance where “consideration” is used, i click on the word and all the areas the word is located on different pages are shown, one line each, in context. (Yes, a 1L taking contracts). I wouldn’t mind checking out other programs, but I haven’t found anything I don’t have or don’t like about NoteBook. To give an analogy for those not computer savvy, NoteBook is an electronic 3 ring binder that keeps notes of your notes.

I had MacJournal for free on my Macbook from 2006. Just got a new iMac and found that it does not come with it. I stumbled upon this post in looking for free alternatives to MacJournal, not necessarily to replace Casemap (I actually work for Lexis as the community manager of Martindale Hubbell Connected), but just as a pure journal capture. I’ve used Evernote on my iPhone and am not crazy about it (the native Notes function is cleaner). Any suggestions besides Evernote for free journal tools?

After reading your article, I wanted to learn more about Together. I found a recent review of Together at MacWorld. http://www.macworld.com/article/141676/2009/07/together22.html

I have tried all of these programs, and found Together to be the best of the bunch. Certainly, it is not a full-fledged case management program, but is the best at handling all of little pieces that don’t really fit anywhere else. In particular, getting document, text, and clippings into the program, via keyboard or dragging, is quick and easy. Also, I have found the developer to be responsive and helpful, and pretty good at getting out updates. Just my .02.

[...] MacJournal for Attorneys Jul.29, 2009 in External blogs S.C. Family Law Blog One of the questions that I get asked from time to time is "What’s the Mac equivalent of Casemap?" While there is not a program that exactly corresponds on the Mac side, one of the most viable options is MacJournal. There is a good review of MacJournal at the MacLitigator blog which analyzes its pros and cons and explains why he prefers it over Journler. You can check it out here. [...]
