After over a year and a half in development, Awake Software is preparing to launch the beta version of 1Journal in August or September of 2010. Based on an extensive analysis of other available journal software (see our companion site at journals.us.com) along with the experience of developing the Awaken 98 dream journaling software and insights from years of keeping personal journals, Awake Software has developed desktop software for personal journaling and given it the name of 1Journal.

The 1Journal name reflects the intention that it can be the one journal software package for all of your journaling and personal record-keeping needs. This initial rollout (we will be calling it version 2.0, since it is the long delayed sequel to our previously released Awaken 98) will contain many great features, which will be described in the ensuing weeks and months on this website. And there are many more refinements planned for the future as well. We will do our best to maintain backward compatibility, so that no matter when you decide to start taking advantage of all the great capabilities of 1Journal, that your journaling needs will be satisfied for a long time to come.
