monkkee has a new feature: coloured tags. The function can be used to design and highlight tags. This increases the visibility of your journal or notebook entries in the overview. Tagging explained Tags are created from within individual journal entries. Here you can assign new tag names or select existing tags from a list. On the overview page you will find the link ‘Manage tags’. From this tag menu, you can rename tags, delete tags, and now...

monkkee’s WYSIWYG editor has been updated with a new feature. The clock icon can be used to insert timestamps into the content of any entry. In addition to the date of an entry, which still exists, the timestamp provides you with a possibility to add time information to your writings. The following two examples demonstrate how the timestamp can be used. Example 1: Journal with short entries If you usually write very short journal entries, you...

A tag is a label assigned to a piece of information. It helps categorise and find data. Tags usually consist of only one term or keyword. Unlike categories or folders, tags are generally not arranged in hierarchies. One advantage is that several tags can be assigned for the same thing. In monkkee, you can tag your journal entries. This allows tagged entries to be found again by searching. In this blog article, we will show you step by step how...

We frequently get support requests along the lines of “I can’t remember my password. Can you please help me?”. The short answer to this is no. We usually provide a more detailed answer, explaining the reasons behind it and referring to the “Password reminder” function which allows any logged-in user to store a password hint. When creating a monkkee account, users are made aware of the fact that monkkee can neither reset nor recover lost...

More server, more power, more space,… Earlier this month, we moved to a new server after three years of operation. In fact, the monkkee community has been growing rapidly since our launch in 2013. With our new server, we have found a solution that can expand as monkkee grows. Thus, the future is secured – at least from a technical viewpoint. Naturally, the new server is located in Germany. We lay great emphasis on the label ‘Hosting in...

Change the date and time Each journal entry in monkkee has a date and a time. Whenever you create a new entry, the systems inserts the current date and time. Thereafter, the timestamp will not change anymore even if you modify the entry. That’s the behaviour most users would expect. But what if you’re looking to add entries to the past or future? For example, you may want to transfer some notes from another diary to monkkee and retain the...

Since the launch of monkkee, we have been concerned with the question of whether or not monkkee needs a dedicated mobile app. Apps are still very popular, they are often faster than web applications and they can be distributed easily through app stores. Several of you have written to us, asking whether we had any plans to develop an app. And yet, we couldn’t bring ourselves to do it, and, as things stand, nor are we going to launch an app in...

In January we asked you which editor functions you would like us to implement. Many of you responded, and we thank all of you for your suggestions! We have evaluated the results and have been able to translate most of your ideas and wishes into new functionalities. The toolbar now offers you even more possibilities to express yourself, be it through emoji, special characters, fonts or formatting functions. If you don’t see the new icons right...

The toolbar is now optimised for use with mobile devices and can be minimised to allow for more...
