I’m working on getting back into Journaling again but have been having a hard time finding the one right for me. I found a few that let me use my own handwriting (surface pro), but they upload everything to a cloud. Which I don’t want because A) I’m not going to be sharing my journal and B) I don’t want to have to pay for storage or delete entries as I inevitably run out of space.
So what are you guys using? What are your favorite features?
I am an avid user of Agenda (though it’s restricted to Apple’s ecosystem).
Though I am slowly transitioning Obsidian. The fact that it uses plain text files underneath and not a proprietary/binary format, is just too good. It is also cloud-agnostic. The workspace is just like any other folder which I can sync via Git, Dropbox, iCloud, etc.
The transition is slow because I still depend a lot on the presence of my system calendar next to my notes and the ability to link events - something that Agenda does very well.
You may also look into Logseq, if it meets your requirements. I really wanted to use it as it is FOSS. But I found it a bit limiting to the way I journal and make notes.
