JournalX is designed to collect and manage documents. This is done in a very clear, easy and fast way. If there is some information that is of interest for you it can be stored in JournalX.
This information can be, for example, text snippets of any format, URLs or pictures. It is not important of which kind of data the document is: Arbitrary file types can be added to and managed by JournalX. You can arrange your documents so that they belong to a specific context.
This makes it very easy to recover them. You no longer need to crawl in deep nested folders to find a single document. Instead simply drag it onto JournalX and it will never be lost again. These documents are stored as real files in a ordinary directory structure which matches to your JournalX structure.
No special database is needed. Thus it is no problem to access your files directly from within the Finder or other applications.
Here are some key features of "JournalX":
Easy import of data - just drag files, folders, text or pictures onto the tables
Easy export of data - just drag the files from the tables on the Finder desktop
Drag URL locations from Safari directly to the tables
