Journal for macOS
A native journaling app for macOS inspired by Apple's Journal app for iOS
## 🌟 About
Since Apple hasn't brought their beautiful Journal app to macOS yet, I decided to create a native macOS version that captures the same elegant simplicity and thoughtful features. This app lets you document your thoughts, track emotions, and reflect on your days - all with a clean, native macOS interface.
## Features
- Clean, distraction-free writing experience
- Beautiful, native macOS design
- Track your emotions with an intuitive Emotion Orb
- Insightful writing statistics
- Organized by months
- Supports system appearance
- Fast and lightweight
## Screenshots
## Getting Started
### Requirements
- macOS 13.0 or later
- Xcode 15.0 or later
### Installation
1. Clone the repository
2. Open `Journal for macOS.xcodeproj` in Xcode
3. Build and run
## Tech Stack
- SwiftUI for the UI
- UserDefaults for local storage
- SwiftUI Introspect for native controls
- RichTextKit for text formatting
- Sparkle for automatic updates
- Orb for intuitive emotion tracking
