Jarnal

Text documents don’t necessarily have to contain important information, and can just as well be used as simple journal entries, or even presentations. If your work involves handling text and graphic content in a single environment, you might want to take Jarnal for a spin, fitted with various brushes, text editing options, and impressive file support.

It takes little time to get the application installed on your computer. However, for it to function you need to make sure that Java Runtime Environment is already there. What’s more, it’s possible to distribute it across a network for collaborating with other individuals for better management of a complex project.

The application bundles together different sets of editing tools, such as drawing brushes, image support, and text editing. On the bright side of things, you’re free to combine all of them into a single document, and drawing is especially handy if done on touch-enabled devices, and considering it runs on Java, this can be done on other platforms besides Windows.

You start off in a page, with the possibility to add more along the way, and switch the view type to continuous, thumbnail, and more. There is also a great variety of customization options when it comes to the canvas, with options to add lines, graphs, flip to landscape, set transparency, adjust size, add a background, as well as rulers for better alignment of items.

File support makes it possible to insert text from existing documents, as well as pictures which don’t necessarily have to be in the background. Saving your work can be done on a network for enhanced collaboration, or locally under formats like TXT, HTML, RTF, PDF, TIFF, and even as a screenshot.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Jarnal is a powerful tool which supports various different content types. All tools can be used in a single type of project, while file support allows you to import and export text and pictures. Network collaboration is a plus, and the application is sure to be worth the effort overall.
