Completely free yet beautiful, easy-to-use and powerful diary software with rich text editing and a WYSIWYG editor.
Efficient Diary is a free and personal journal/organizer.
After installing Efficient Diary, you will probably first notice that it has a user interface similar to Microsoft Outlook. Included with that is full support for emoticons and rich text editing with WYSIWYG. You can also set it up so that Efficient Diary is only accessible by password so that others may not read your entries.
It also features a search function, import and export functions which support RTF, TXT, JPG, GIF and other image formats. One feature it lacks is unfortunately a spellchecker.
Creating new entries is as simple as clicking "New Diary Entry". Afterwards, every entry is timestamped and can be easily found by date.
Using Efficient Diary isn't too difficult and is easy-to-use in most cases. Finding features is quick and simple thanks to its familiar layout and icons.
