RedNotebook, An Excellent Journal Application for GNU/Linux!

I've already talked about few excellent journals for GNU/Linux but everybody's needs & tastes are different so one app that suits you may not suit someone else even though they both serve the same purpose. In that sense if you're already fed-up with something like the Daily Journal app and looking for a replacement, then you might want to have a look at another excellent alternative called, the RedNotebook!.

The interface is intuitive and lets you do things like...

*. Bold or underline your daily "thoughts" (text).

*. Unlike many other apps, it stores data is a plain text file.

*. You can save your daily journals in few major formats such as PDF, HTML and text.

*. Search your journals with ease.

*. Change the look-n-feel of RedNotebook with templates/themes.

*. Word clouds - Displays your most used words and tags.

*. Comes with a fully featured text editor which lets you, add images/URLs and other files.

*. Automatic saving and spell checking, etc are just a few to name.

If you run Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal then download the .deb package from here and double click on it to install RedNotebook.
