Looking to start keeping some daily notes. I don’t mind paying for the app, as long as it’s one time and not subscription. Bonus points it it on f-Droid.

    I use Obsidian.md, which starts as a note-taking app, but can end up as a whole knowlegde base. It has a built in core plugin for daily notes, but the plugin ecosphere will allow you to go way beyond that. It is free, however the built-in syncing is a subscription. You can just set up and use any sync service you want, it even has approved plugins for that, as the subscription is basically just a donation.

    There is an open-source alternative called logseq, available on fdroid, i dipped my toes into that one for a while, but the plugins on obsidian like dataview and templater are just invaluable.

      It’s not as mature, but AnyType is a nice alternative to Obsidian, and includes 1gb syncing for free, which is generous for text.

      It’s also open source.

        ngl this looks very impressive ootb, however, i rely on dataview a lot, basically my entire work orga is done through various datasets integrated directly into my daily journaling. instead of having to keep track of every item i did/got for a project to calculate together at the end, i just throw everything into a dataview table and thats it. yes, there are apps more suited for this but obsidian just does everything i need more than just good enough. thanks for the rec tho, will keep an eye on it. (it’s now the 4th obsidian alternative im checking out regularily lmao)

    I use Joplin for notes, though if you want daily notes specifically “Diary” might also be a good choice.

      Joplin is great for notes. I’ve set it to sync with a free Dropbox account and have used it on Android, iOS, Linux and Windows.

    On Android, not much of anything. Who wants to type many notes on a screen keyboard? I use org-mode on a Debian laptop for that. If I want to take a note on my phone for some reason, I typically just send myself an email.

    Try Diarium, it stores it’s data in your choice of cloud sync, Dropbox, Google Drive etc rather than a cloud run by the program.

    There’s loads of options, for your writing, tags, photod, even hooks up to Strava if your do sportd, etc, it’s a one time payment so no abonnement.

    Before I had tried others, this is the best around, especially as it keeps your data private.

    I use a text file with guake. I hit F12 and I can instantly update my notes. I change priority by moving stuff higher or lower in the file.

    I tried logseq, but it was more effort than just typing.
