I need a diary that works as an Android app and a web app. Ideally when I type something it automatically gets a time stamp.

Asking here because I want something private.

Does such a thing exist?

edit - Thank you for all the responses!! I did not expect so many replies.

The reason I said web app is because I’m looking for something I can use on my desktop and my phone. I use my desktop much more than my phone. While I currently use Windowz, I’m slowly migrating to Linux.

Logseq is the one that I use

It’s not a web app (not certain why op requested that bit), but it is on any platforms that you would want to use it on (iOS, Android, windows, Mac, and Linux all have it)

You can pay for logseq sync to sync files across all your devices, but I personally just use syncthing to keep it even more private (love me some good privacy-respecting foss)

I guess it doesn’t necessarily need to be web enabled as long as there is a way to use it in Windows and Linux.

I’ve searched for a journal app and the only thing that I’ve found that is private to me is Joplin with templates

I believe Joplin still doesn’t have a web app unfortunately. StandardNotes does and it could help here too. I’d think just making a new note for each entry will time and date it, but any editing of the note would change the time stamp.

I like Crypt.ee, it’s minimalistic.

However, I have tested many apps, but I don’t like the digital recording of notes, so I have become “analog” and use a pen and notepad. It also has better privacy. 😁

Proton will buy it, so proton will read all your notes (we remember proton’s “E2EE”)

In what way can Proton read any of your content?

Proton doesn’t have E2EE, they decrypt and then encrypt your emails. So if they do it with email, why not to repeat same thing in standard notes?Also they develop proprietary software(docs for example) and if you are interested in all proton’s problems watch mental outlaw’s video about it.

I personally use Joplin.

You can sync it to your own self hosted server or any cloud storage if you choose.
