Great digital notebook solution – Penzu Review

Penzu was recommended by a pro who was helping me with journaling. I started it for that purpose, and the encryption option gave me peace of mind. I am a writer, a game designer, a Toastmaster, and was an MFA student for 2 years. Penzu allows me to create individual journals for each topic, and to search all of them at will. I kept a journal for each term in school and typed my notes straight into it. Searching for answers to questions even now is easy. I draft my Toastmaster speeches in it, and the wordcount is right there, and I have easy access to drafts and all my previous things. In addition, I keep other notes about great resources, things I need to do as a club officer, etc. As a game designer/creative, I keep all of my ideas in one place. Any snipped of an idea goes into the appropriate Penzu journal for later harvest (or at least so I can let go of it knowing its there if I ever want to retrieve it). I have had a hiccup only once with the sync problem. As a developer, I know no software is perfect, and there are a lot of factors that go into such hiccups. We ask a lot of software nowadays, and I find Penzu to be reliable. The only other thing that makes me a bit sad, although it also makes me happy, is that even Penzu can’t break into your encrypted journals if you lose the password—or at least the couldn’t a few years ago. I highly recommend it.
