SimpleJournal

SimpleJournal is a cool note-taking app that lets you create memos and jot down ideas with text, shapes, and images. If you're looking for an open-source alternative to Microsoft's Windows Journal (which has been retired), this is it!

Getting Started with SimpleJournal

After a quick installation, the app opens up an assistant that gives you a nice overview of what it can do. Plus, it helps you set up your first journal page right away! You can tweak things like resolution, theme, paper size, pen pressure, and even shape recognition. It's super user-friendly.

Create Your Perfect Note

If your first try isn't quite right, no worries! You can access the assistant anytime from the Settings menu to start fresh on a new page. It's all about making it work for you!

Easy Drawing and Writing

Diving into the app is straightforward. Just grab your favorite input device (except your keyboard) and start drawing! You can use pens in different colors and shapes, add images, or include geometric shapes too. Adding images might be a bit tricky to find at first—it's tucked away in the top menu—but once you locate it, you're good to go!

Touch Features

You also have the option to toggle touch on or off based on what equipment you're using. If you're not into pen inputs, no problem! Switch over to touch input if that's more your style. The tool is built on WPF technology so whether it's pen, mouse, or laptop touchpad—you're covered.

Who Can Use SimpleJournal?

This tool is perfect for anyone who needs detailed notes with visuals—whether you're in college, school, at work, or doing design projects. It's great for studying or going through materials that require some extra attention.
