Everything, one keystroke away.

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere in Lite Journal. Type a few letters to search your entries or jump straight to a type, a record or a tag.

How it works
01

Search your entries

Type three letters or more to search the full text of your journal.

02

Jump to records

Find a film, a person, a place by name and open it directly.

03

Types and tags

Go to any type's page or filter by a tag. Start with # to list tags only.

04

Keyboard only

Arrow keys to move, Enter to open, Esc to close. Your hands never leave the keys.

Who it's for
Keyboard-first writers and developers
Long-time journalers with years of entries
Anyone who remembers a word but not the date
People who keep many types and records
In depth

One place to go

There's no search page, tag page and record browser to learn. ⌘K opens the same small window everywhere, and whatever you type is matched against your entries, your types, your records and your tags at once, grouped so you can see what kind of thing you're about to open.

Built for the keyboard

Every part of Lite Journal can be used without a mouse, and ⌘K is how you move around. Open it, type, press Enter. It's the fastest way from a half-remembered name to the entry where you wrote it.
