Next Generation Personal Journal

Now &Then is a knowledge-based personal journal optimized for pad computers. It is an information appliance designed for anyone who already keeps a journal and understands the future value of capturing today's memories. It's ideal for people who would start a journal if it was easy and motivating to collect and review personal information.

Now &Then makes journaling easy, agreeable, and enlightening. It retrieves and presents journal information in meaningful and insightful ways―in ways that encourage daily journal updating and retrospection.
Now &Then  augments personal memory and replaces the traditional paper diary, enabling a person to record, track, search, and gain perspective from a lifetime of personal information. It is a full-function journaling system with advanced information indexing and query capabilities. Now &Then lets users retrieve information that is contextually-appropriate, meaningfully re-assembled, and intuitively displayed.

Importantly, Now &Then is not a Day-Timer or Outlook competitor. With use, it develops a deep understanding of the journaler’s personal perspectives, or World View. Its use of automatic and rule-based categorization, matrixes and clustering to recognize concepts and context sets Now &Then apart as a totally new way to chronicle one's life. Now &Then monitors journal entries and alerts its writer to topics or existing memoirs that might relate to her current focus. These alerts can be established based on themes and threshold levels or on Now &Then's "good guesses" regarding the information that should interest its user.

Now & Then is for You, if:

• You already keep a journal but would like to track more information, benefit from easy entries, search accurately through years of journal entries, and discover trends, insights, or rekindle memories.

• You "sometimes" keep a handwritten journal or keep personal notes in a computer appointment program. Now &Then is a pad-based journal, that supports the flexible use of handwriting recognition, typing, entry templates, and personal tracking reports ― all designed to entice you to record your life experiences every day.

• You want to discover associations, relationships, and trends concealed within your journal entries.

Now &Then is a "must-have" product for everyone who currently keeps a journal and those who have thought about starting a journal. Now &Then is the "next new thing" for journaling and pad computing.
