Mariner Releases MacJournal 6.0

Mariner Software — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:04:09 +0000

Minneapolis, MN – Journaling software has become a rich medium where personal experiences and events can be documented using not only text but images, audio, and video elements. In addition, journal entries often become the material for blog posts, and what was once the private experience of journal keeping, can now be shared with an audience. With the release of MacJournal 6.0, Mariner has taken the journaling and blogging experience to another level by adding many and varied enhancements and more power to this popular journaling and blogging software product for the Mac OS.

Since its release by Mariner in 2005, MacJournal has become the world’s most popular journaling software for the Mac. Completely redesigned for Lion, this new release is the most powerful and feature-rich version to date. Unlike the traditional writing journal, MacJournal 6 adds a Calendar mode that displays any or all entries; includes features for geolocation, word count and progress tracking; and provides additional blogging support. A Timeline mode has been added to give journal writers the ability to see writing activity in chronological order. MacJournal 6 even introduces a feature for creating books from journals specially formatted for publishing.

“MacJournal 6 takes journaling to a new level,” said Michael Wray, President of Mariner. “We added features that will appeal to nearly everyone who uses MacJournal to keep a journal for personal, school or business use.”

MacJournal 6 is one of the industry’s most flexible and versatile software app with which to write, organize and blog a personal journal. MacJournal allows users to add virtually any type of content—PDFs, QuickTime movies, images, text—even a YouTube video. Users can easily create a personal journal to record daily ideas, manage lists, and export them to multiple file formats. Journals can be kept private with MacJournal’s two level security of password protection and encryption. In addition, MacJournal has been designed to make it easy to post to blogs directly from within the application to supported sites such as Blogger, WordPress, LiveJournal, Posterous and Tumblr. Also new to MacJournal 6 is support for uploading images to Imgur and Dropbox.

MacJournal 6 is available for sale and for trial as a download from the Mariner Software website only and will sell for $39.95USD. A boxed and Mac App Store version will be available in the near future. Registered MacJournal 4 and 5 customers can upgrade to MacJournal 6 for $19.95. MacJournal 6 requires Mac OS 10.6.8 or higher. This initial version of MacJournal 6 is in English only, other languages will be added at a later date. Free review copies of MacJournal 6.0 are available to the press.

Minneapolis, MN – We’re not sure how Ernest Hemingway would react today. With the availability of a wide variety of creative writing software, anyone who has a story to tell, can write one. Mariner’s own popular novel writing software, StoryMill, has a numerous and impressive following of both first-time and published professional writers. Established professional writers have a number of options at their disposal to get their writings published. For the rest of the world, whose works remain unpublished, who helps them?

Mariner has teamed up with _trekden, a one-of-a-kind, online publisher, specializing in getting those unpublished stories published using mediums like Apple’s iBook Store and Amazon’s Kindle Store. Both companies share a common interest in the creative writing community. Mariner plays a role in the writing process by providing innovative software, like StoryMill, designed to inspire writers to produce their best work. Trekden represents that second step in a writer’s journey by helping them overcome the administrative and financial hurdles of publishing.

Dennis, President of _trekden. “Becoming a published author is one of the most popular “bucket list” items throughout the world. That’s why _trekden and Mariner Software have teamed up.

Mariner Software Commits to Entering the Windows Software Development Arena

Mariner Software — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 14:42:44 +0000

Minneapolis, MN – Successfully managing the various documents and receipts we all accumulate day-to-day is necessary for the Mac and Windows user alike. With the increased use of digital records, having a relevant and easy-to-use software solution for managing those records is even more important. Using many of the rich features from its Mac OS sibling, Paperless 2.0 for Windows, by Mariner Software, provides a powerful and intuitive digital document management product for households or businesses. Paperless for Windows enables users to create a digital document from any scanned piece of paper, and then effectively manage and maintain it for retrieval, export or easy emailing when needed.

“Since releasing Paperless for Mac in 2009, one of the most popular request we consistently received from the public was asking us when we were going to release a Windows version.” said Michael Wray, President of Mariner Software. “So after significant time and investment, we are ready to introduce a proven Paperless feature set to the Windows market. What is even more exciting is having Paperless for Windows going into every OfficeMax store in the country.”

Mariner recognizes that managing paper documents, while necessary, is tedious. Having an option of how to organize these documents, will assist an individual or business to compact and manage their information, empowering them to keep and maintain a good filing system. Paperless for Windows uses the essential functions of scanning to create a digital record and then managing that digital document, to form a clean yet simplified, digital document filing system. With every scanned receipt, using the built-in technology of OCR (Optical Character Recognition), Paperless can ‘learn’ to recognize the text and add the information captured from the scanned paper. Creating a digital record is not limited to a scanner or importing, but images can also be captured from the user’s webcam.

Reporting expenses is also an essential part of successful document management. With the inclusion of the Report Editor in Paperless for Windows, users can generate reports for business expenses, tax documents, Flexible Spending or Health Savings account expenditures.

Paperless for Windows works transparently with Fujitsu’s line of ScanSnap scanners (Fujitsu S1500, S1300 and the S1100, Fujitsu’s ultra-mobile scanner). In addition, users can use their own scanner provided it is updated with the latest printer driver and is TWAIN compliant.

Paperless 2.0 for Windows is available for sale and for trial from the Mariner Software website and various retail outlets and will sell for $29.95USD. Paperless requires Windows Vista or Windows 7. Vista Professional or Windows 7 Professional editions is required for Library Encryption support; US English system using US Dollar currency formatting and the latest version of Adobe Reader®.

Mariner Software Releases MacGourmet Deluxe 3.1

Mariner Software — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 17:54:10 +0000

Minneapolis, MN – Do a search on the word, recipes, and more websites than can be counted will appear. These sites are packed with great recipes, food ideas and meal plans. In addition to offering great culinary creations, each visitor is encouraged to print or email a recipe, and even create a recipe box in order to build their own collection. Having such options would be a simple task if there was only one site from which to choose – but there isn’t. The result is the user having to maintain multiple recipe collections on multiple recipe web sites and no choice of how to effectively import and organize them on their Mac.

Mariner Software has just introduced MacGourmet Deluxe 3.1, which provides an expanded website import function and is the solution for every cook, chef and foodie who owns a Mac. Supporting more than 40 recipe sites, some of which include Epicurious.com, AllRecipes.com, FoodNetwork.com, BonAppetit.com and CooksIllustrated.com, MacGourmet Deluxe’s website importer allows the user to quickly add a recipe to their own collection. This import feature virtually eliminates the need to retype or copy and paste an entire recipe. Instead of having to maintain a personal recipe box at multiple recipe sites, the user is now able to keep their collection, gathered from their various sources, all in one place.

“While it’s great to have so many choices when it comes to food, recipes and cooking, how can a person be organized if they have to visit multiple places in order to see what recipes they’ve collected?” asks Michael Wray, President of Mariner. “We believe that today’s cooks are interested in collecting and organizing their recipes in a digital format. That’s one of the reasons for this release of MacGourmet Deluxe. It’s not only the traditional paper cookbook or recipe box a cook uses, but digital ones too.”

In addition to the expanded web import function in MacGourmet Deluxe 3.1, other significant features and functions have been added, each one developed to make recipe collecting and organizing for the 21st century cook even easier. There is a Library that contains a place for Cooking Notes, Shopping Lists and Wine Notes. The ability to merge selected steps of a recipe has been added. Also included are collections for Beverages, Desserts, and Side Dishes, to name a few, with the ability to add even more. Mariner has also added integration with their popular journaling and blogging software, MacJournal, allowing users to post their recipes to their own blog accounts.

This newest version of MacGourmet Deluxe is available for sale and for trial from the Mariner Software web site and will retail at $49.95USD. MacGourmet Deluxe 3.1 is a free update for current registered MacGourmet Deluxe 3.0 users.

Mariner Introduces StoryMill 4

Mariner Software — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:01:39 +0000

The Popular Novel and Story Writing Software is Designed to Help Simplify the Writing Experience.

Minneapolis, MN – Everyone has a story to tell. However, writing a story or novel can turn out to be a daunting experience. Finding the right software to help you write is even more intimidating. StoryMill 4, from Mariner Software, introduces any level of writer to the process of effective writing. Developed to ease a person into the writing experience, StoryMill 4 is purposely designed to include all the essential writing elements, while at the same time maintaining an intuitive user interface.

Mariner listened to suggestions made by experienced and novice authors alike and updated the application to include numerous new features as well as to improve existing ones.

“There are a great many novel writing products out in the marketplace,” said Michael Wray, President of Mariner. “But the majority of them are so complicated that the writer spends more time learning the software than actually writing.”

StoryMill 4, includes the basic elements for building your novel, such as characters, locations and storylines, and offers the writer great power and flexibility in developing a story from the ground up. Story elements and characters can be captured and developed, then organized and integrated into the novel at any time. Associated with all these story elements, StoryMill provides convenient at-a-glance access to notes, pictures and links specific to each item. The result is a simple, yet powerful, tool for the writer to develop and capture a story, with the flexibility to accommodate writing styles from novice to professional.

“We took our time in developing StoryMill 4,” said Wray. “We consciously improved our product so that the writer, instead of having to learn how to navigate through a piece of software, could do what’s most important to them: to just write.”

There are several new features in StoryMill 4.0 that every writer will appreciate:

Snapshots: the writer can capture a snapshot of any scene or chapter in order to make changes and refer back to that snapshot at any time, comparing new and old versions
Novel View: a story can be viewed and printed in its entirety
Redesigned Timeline View: supporting timelines ranging from minutes to centuries, the new timeline view also offers powerful navigation tools for developing the flow of your story

There’s one more newly added element to StoryMill 4. “Believe it or not, a trash feature was something we got a lot of requests for. So StoryMill now offers a trash feature just like the Mac OS X Finder,” said Wray. “The writer can reorganize their project without fear of losing valuable data.”

The new version of StoryMill is available for sale and for trial as a download only from the Mariner Software web site and will remain at the current price of $49.95USD. A boxed version of StoryMill 4.0 will be available in the near future. Current registered StoryMill users can purchase the upgrade version for $24.95USD. StoryMill 4 requires Mac OS X 10.6.

Document Management More Important than Ever:
Mariner Provides a Powerful Solution with Paperless 2.0

Minneapolis, MN – Mariner Software has released Paperless 2.0, providing a powerful and comprehensive digital document solution for the home and business. More businesses, state and federal governments, and other entities are furnishing digital documents making digital records a preference over paper. This trend puts the responsibility of being able to store and manage such documents onto households and businesses alike. This new version of Paperless enables the user to create, manage and store any type of paper and digital document.

“Everyone is looking for ways to compact and manage digital information, especially when it comes to finances and personal records. Even the changes in medical Flexible Spending Accounts will force an individual to keep a clean filing system,” said Michael Wray, President of Mariner Software. “Paperless is the software solution that will give a household or business everything needed to create and maintain digital records that are easily retrieved, emailed or exported.”

Paperless 2.0 has multiple new features, including the ability to create expense reports, pie-charts and contact reports. In addition, the user can create custom field types such as text, currency and checkboxes. Data entry is eased with automatic matching of thousands of popular U.S. merchants. This version of Paperless includes an expanded use of Fujitsu’s ScanSnap scanners with support for the Fujitsu S1500M, S1300 and now the S1100, Fujitsu’s ultra-mobile scanner. In addition, more scanners are supported through Apple’s Image Capture, providing users of Paperless 2.0 multiple scanner options.

The new version of Paperless is available for sale and for trial as a download only from the Mariner Software web site and will remain at the current price of $49.95USD. A boxed version of Paperless 2.0 will be available in the near future. Current registered Paperless users can purchase the upgrade version for $24.95USD. Paperless 2.0 requires Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Mac App Store Launch Will Include 6 Apps from Mariner Software

Mariner Software — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 20:49:11 +0000

Minneapolis – While there is uncertainty of how the new Mac App Store will ultimately affect both Mac OS X developers and consumers, Minneapolis-based Mariner Software, with over twenty years experience of partnering with Apple, is jumping in without hesitation. Mariner will have six apps ready, with more to follow, when the store launches. Like the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, the Mac App Store will allow users to browse for Mac apps, purchase and then download them in a one-step process.

“Since we first learned of Apple’s plans for the launch of the Mac App Store, our development team has been focused on preparing nearly our entire Mac OS X product line to be ready for sale.” said Michael Wray, President of Mariner. “We are excited for the future of Mariner’s presence in the Mac App Store.”
Mariner has developed and published some of the most highly successful Mac OS X and iOS applications in the market. With their software products in domestic reseller channels, retail stores, direct sales and international distribution, Mariner is viewing the Mac App Store as another domestic reseller channel partner.

“For us to view the Mac App Store as anything more than a reseller at this point, is premature.” said Wray. “The potential for the Mac App Store is beyond imagination; however, from a developer perspective, there are just too many logistical unknowns early on. I’m sure Apple will streamline the process moving forward.”

The Mac App Store will be available in 90 countries at launch and will feature paid and free apps in categories like Education, Games, Graphics and Design, Lifestyle, Productivity and Utilities.
