The story behind JourNote.
Hi, I'm Marc. I built JourNote because I was tired of the "Friday Afternoon Panic" — that feeling of staring at a blank screen trying to remember what I actually achieved this week.
The Problem
As a software engineer, my work was scattered everywhere: Linear issues, GitLab MRs, Slack discussions, and endless Google Meetings. When it came time for performance reviews or even just a weekly sync, I spent hours digging through history just to prove I was productive. I wanted a place to quickly jot down what I did each day — but every tool out there was either too heavy or too complicated.
The Solution
I wanted a tool that would act as a "passive collector" of my professional life while making it dead simple to add daily notes manually. Something that would quietly sit in the background, gather the breadcrumbs of my work, and let me capture quick thoughts with zero friction — then present it all back to me in a clean, searchable journal.
JourNote isn't just another task manager. It's a memory enhancer. It helps you see the patterns in your work, celebrate your wins, and prepare for growth discussions with zero effort.
Our Mission
To help 1 million professionals reclaim their time and focus on what truly matters: making an impact. We believe that reporting shouldn't be a chore, and your achievements shouldn't be forgotten.
