Recordian
Introduction
Recordian is the application that helps you keep a record of your work logs so you never miss a beat! Recordian acts as an electronic logbook that helps you keep a consistent record of details pertaining to each work day. I created Recordian for my father as a solution to the problems he encountered while trying to maintain a paperback logbook. Check out the Recordian wiki for more information about why and how Recordian was developed!

Getting Started
Prerequisites
You must have Java installed on your computer.
Download
Click "recordian.jar" under the downloads section of the latest release.
Note: You may receive a warning stating that recordian.jar could be harmful to your computer. Your browser provides this warning because malicious software developers could choose to store malware in a .jar file that could cause problems for your computer. As such, most browsers will prompt you to keep the file if you know you've downloaded it from a trusted source or discard the file.
Install
Once the download has finished, move the JAR file to a more permanent location such as your Documents folder or even your Desktop.
Usage
If you are using Windows, you should be able to double-click the JAR file to launch the program. Alternatively, you can launch the program by opening a terminal, navigating to the directory where the JAR file is stored, and entering the command java -jar recordian.jar
The program should launch, and a new folder will be created called Recordian_Files. This folder should not be moved or edited. It is where the database and defaults are stored.
