Right-click context menu and services
Like Theron, I’ve been exploring the use of various organizational apps to figure out what suits me for my dissertation note-taking. After uninstalling Journaler, I noticed that it left an item in Finder’s right-click context menu. For those that don’t want such artificats, it’s relatively simple to remove. In finder, browse to ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ and remove the Journaler plugin.
If you want to create your own context menu items, there’s a little application called OnMyCommand. I also came across a little utility that allows you to edit the items available in the Services menu, called Service Scrubber.
Check out Journler

From the Journler website: Journler is a daily notebook and entry based information manager. Scholars, teachers, students, professors, scientists, thinkers, the business minded and writers of every persuasion use it on a daily basis to connect the written word with the media most important to them.
I recently wrote about iGTD, which is a great GTD application. Well, Journler can also be used as a GTD application, plus it does so much more. Here is a list of features:
- Word processing capabilities
- Audio, video and photo entries
- iLife integration: iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie and Safari bookmarks as well as iWeb, Mail and Address Book support
- Awesome importing/exporting capabilities
- Print and export a single entry, collections of entries, or any date range
- The Lexicon for discovering connections between your entries
- The Drop Box and JPanel for getting stuff in
It’s definitely worth a download.
