Version 0.1 Beta!

By
Version 0.1 Beta was released just a few days back, and it gives you a few glimpses of what the app will provide you. Work on the new version is already going well.
It must be noted that the beta is still, well, a beta so it does have a few bugs and annoyances, but those will be fixed in the final version, version 0.1.
The beta includes five main features, CompLock, ToDo List, Sticky Notes, Flash Cards and Prioritize. Although CompLock is a fully stable and near complete feature, the others will be developed in the upcoming versions.
Productivity is still a new app so it might take some time to gain ground, but rest assured that it will happen at a good pace and that it will be better than the tools you currently use :)

We're Open-Sourcing Productivity!

By
To encourage other developers to help improve the app, we've decided to open-source Productivity, meaning the source code for the app is now available for download for free. We've made a GitHub repository with the source code and we're adding chunks of the code to it regularly. The code is written entirely in Visual Basic .NET, so anyone who knows the language should find it easy to work on the code and help improve it. To make it easier for other developers to work on it, we've removed third-party paid components and switched to free ones. We still do use other open-source third party components though, whose full source code is available on GitHub and CodeProject. Links to these source codes are given in the Readme file of the project. So what does this mean for you if you're not a developer? It simply means that although the app hasn't had many updates in quite a while, it's surely not a dead project, and we're simply reaching out to other dev...

Version 5.0 Coming Soon!

By
We're finally coming up with a newer version of the app! However, this update will only apply to Journal, and not affect the other products in Productivity. As per current plans, we intend to release Journal as a separate app on its own, but users of Productivity will also get the new update. The new Journal app is now cross-platform, which means it will run on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. We've rebuilt it from the ground-up, with a fresh new UI! Apart from the same great features you're used to, the new version now encrypts your journal using AES-256 encryption, so you'll have to provide a password to open your journals. This keeps your private information safe. Among other features planned, you'll also be able to now add multiple images to each day's journal entry. Unfortunately, all these new additional features do mean that we now use a newer file format (.ejournal) instead of the older .journalx. The new format allows us to store more informat...

JournalBear 5.0 Beta Releasing This Week!

By
It's been a long wait, and after multiple UI changes and tests, I'm finally done with the first beta of JournalBear 5.0!  As promised, this will be cross-platform, meaning it'll run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, both 32 and 64-bit, but it's restricted to Debian-based systems for now, which includes Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary OS. Apart from the features you're used to from the previous version, Productivity 4.0, the new version uses AES-256 encryption, and makes it mandatory, so you'll have to use a strong password to encrypt your journal. After that, no unauthorized person will be able to look at your entries without the right password. The new version also lets you search by date. Entries can now also be styled, using either HTML or Markdown, both of which are easy to use. If you're comfortable with HTML, feel free to use a separate <style> tag for all your CSS.  While we're on the topic of being new, there's also a new tem...
