LifeTimes2 is a complete rewrite of the original LifeTimes app in Swift.

Create Daily Notes
Use LifeTimes2 to quickly and easily make daily entries of text, pictures, and even movies about events in your life. You can see what days of each month you have entered notes and navigate to your notes with the click of the mouse or the press of a key. Days with notes are shown on the calendar with a small icon or "badge" so that it is easy to see the days of the month that contain notes. You can quickly search and find text in your notes from months and years ago.  You may make daily “snapshots” of yourself and later create a Timelapse of yourself using QuickTime.

Enter Notes Quickly
To enter a note, open the notes panel by choosing Toggle Notes from the Notes Menu, or simply by pressing the Enter key.  With the notes panel opened, type your notes. When you are done with the entry, close the notes panel and LifeTimes2 will show only the calendar view. Your notes are saved automatically when the notes panel is closed, when you move to another day, and when you switch from LifeTimes2 to another application.

Create Note Categories
You may create additional note categories to keep up with all aspects of your daily life. Work notes, school notes, and notes about important people and activities in your life may be created so that you can concentrate on those things. Switch between your note categories with a click in the toolbar or Menu. You may temporarily hide the note categories that you do not use all the time.

Password Protection
Keep prying eyes from reading your notes by setting a password.  A timeout feature will automatically close and lock your notes while you are away.

Export Notes
Exporting your notes to a file is very easy. You may create a notes file from LifeTimes2 to print, email or post on a website by selecting the note category and dates you wish to export and simply export the notes into a file.

Import Notes
LifeTimes2 features a powerful import feature that allows you to import notes that you may have in other files. You may import notes from existing LifeTimes2 databases, LifeTimes1 (the original version), and notes from text-file based notes. If you have a diary or notes saved in other applications such as MicroSoft Excel, you only need to save those out as text-only and LifeTimes2 will import them into your notes database.

Change LifeTimes2 Window Appearance
You can customize LifeTimes2 to look the way you want. Choose different note and category badges, add your own badges, change fonts and styles of the calendar face, and change the number of calendars shown.  You can set LifeTimes2 to miniaturize or make itself small while in the background, so that it stays available, but doesn't take up your valuable screen space.

Scaled Graphics
You may place full size pictures into your LifeTimes2 notes, but have them automatically scale to the notes window size.

There are many other features of LifeTimes2 that are explained in the Full User Manual provided in the LifeTimes2 Help Menu.

Release notes:
Squashed some bugs.  Fixed the picture scaling issue that would not allow automatic scaling to be used when limiting the size of images in your notes.
