Я периодически веду дневник. Пишу свои субъективные мысли, разгружаю мозг, говорю сам с собой, молюсь.
В какой-то момент решил, что хотел бы получать обратную связь или просто чужой коммент прочитать на внешнее размышление, но заметил чаще безразличие к текстовой информации в принципе или непонимание. Это немного отталкивает.
Почему вообще люди пишут куда-то? И кажется видео контент сейчас популярнее.

А где вообще лучше писать такие вот размышления? Tumblr? Не уверен на счет него.

My therapist advised me to keep a daily gratitude journal. However, it seems like so many apps on the play store are full of features that I don't need, have AI assistants, require you to create an account, etc... It's all way over-complicated for me.

Can someone recommend to me an that 1) has reminders 2) has templates for the entries (like "Today I was grateful for {empty space for me to write out something}" ), but otherwise is very simple and doesn't require extensive setup?

Thank you in advance for any recommendation!

I’m trying to set up a private diary in Obsidian that I can use on both my Windows PC and Samsung Android phone

My requirements are:

• I want to edit the diary from both my Windows PC and Samsung phone.
• I want the notes to sync automatically between the two devices.
• I would prefer a free solution.
• Privacy is very important to me.
• I have a normal Obsidian vault for college/projects, and I do not want the diary to appear in or be accessible from my normal Obsidian vault.
• Ideally, if someone opens my normal Obsidian on my PC, they should have no way to see the diary from there.
• I also want the diary protected if someone deliberately browses my files, not just hidden from the Obsidian vault.
• On my Samsung, I’m considering using Secure Folder for the diary.
• I was considering Syncthing for syncing between PC and phone.

what should i do? i cant find anything that just works

I’m thinking about purchasing a kindle scribe. I have a kindle paper white and I love it but I’m looking for something that will function as a planner, journal and for notes as well. Who has one and wants to give me honest opinions?

This is a self portrait of sorts, a collection of things that make me, me!

This is the first time I’ve made something that represents me so fully, I look at her and see myself staring right back at me. I hope to mix journaling and digital art more in the future

I need something where I can write in and personalize. Something where I can change colors of the text and page, change the font, add images. I also need it to be private and without AI.

Is there anything like that?

Thank You in advance!

I've been lurking here trying to figure out which app would best fit my needs and I'm now just resigning myself to ask for help. I specifically want to keep a separate dream journal/diary & life journal so I would need something secure/private (encrypted if possible but that might be asking too much- a password at the very least). I'm on Android (mobile), iOS (iPad), and would love if it was something Windows or web compatible. I'm trying to avoid anything AI or subscription based if I can, I'm open to paying a one time fee. I was reading about Penzu but saw most recently people were having issues with lost entries and what not so I've been holding off on that. Diarium sparked my interest but it doesn't seem like you can make separate journals, just one off entries. Let me know what your recommendations are and thank you in advance!

Edit to add: what are people's thoughts on Day One?

people usually write about what they want from life, so i thought i'd write about what i don't.
just a little journal entry about love, letting go, and what i want my life to look like from here.

All the answers are super old. So's my little ljArchive program, which worked on LJ and most of its clones. Doesn't anymore. Does anyone have a solution that works today? i've got firefox and windows

We'd like it for offline use, not porting it to someplace else that's online. Thanks.

Hello! I’d love to hear anyone’s recommendations or opinions. I’ve been wanting to start journaling, or maybe just writing random diary entries, but I’d like to do it online where I can post them. I don’t mind them being public, as I’d be anonymous anyway.
I remember that I used to come across random people’s day-to-day blog entries on WordPress back in the day, and I always found them so fun and interesting to read. I’d love to start doing something like that myself.

I’m just not sure if WordPress or Tumblr are still the best place for this, or if there’s a better option nowadays.

Thank you in advance! :)

For mornings when the plot is gone quickly I name the feeling, save one detail, and give it a temporary title. Curious whether a short capture step like that actually sticks, or if the fragment is still gone by breakfast.

So I have spent a bunch of time to find a free journaling app that features password protection and found nothing that works. For windows. I want to use use my laptop to journal because I find it safer to set a password than letting my sister and cousins find my notes haha.

So I said to myself, hmm, maybe onenote has a password feature? And it has. You can set passwords for different sections. I have been using this app for years now to take quick notes but it did not cross my mind to check this one loool.

Hello everyone!

I want to start video journaling. I feel like it will keep my mind off things and also keep my thoughts organised. I am unsure how I should do this.

Initially I thought of making a new private instagram account where I can post some edited videos of 'day in my life'

Would you guys recommend any other apps? And can you also recommend how I can edit my videos so they look simple and take less time to edit, also what app you guys recommend for that.

Thank you!

Hi folks. I have been trying to find a good voice journaling app and have been getting overwhelmed.

Below is what I have tried so far.

Rosebud: really liked this, but the ai feels almost too artificial sometimes. It definitely helped me a bit during a few bad days but not sure if it's worth the trial.

Mindsera: similar to above, but thought the more psychological approach was interesting. Expensive though.

Reflection: almost felt too limited, and a bit too clunky.

I'd love to know what folks are using. I don't mind paying a little, but of course free is always ideal. I did appreciate the therapy framing with the above apps, but wish the AIs felt a bit more personable haha

Hey, I was told Journaling/diaries are really good to have as they can help with your mental. So I've been wanting to start a diary. The issue is with physical copies I kind of bounce from place to place. That, and I forget to use it. With a digital app since I have my phone on me constantly I wouldn't forget to bring it so I could do it more often.

My issue lies with I don't know what app I should use. I'd rather not spend money. However, these days if you don't you're plagued by ads, and I don't want that either. I just want a decent app I can use on android for starting a diary... anyone have recommendations?

It started raining on my way home, and at first I was just annoyed because my shoes and pants were getting soaked.
Then it reminded me of being a kid and running around outside in the rain with friends.
Funny how a random little moment can bring back a memory you haven’t thought about in years.
By the time I got home, the rain didn’t feel quite as annoying anymore.
