Looking for Diary App or something similar (lemm.ee)

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.

In what way can Proton read any of your content?

[–] Harvest5634@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

If I have any mistakes, sorry, I am not Englishman.

If your sender sends an unencrypted message, yes Proton can see the plain text as would be expected. (Note, sending via TLS doesn't count as an encrypted email.) However according to their many audits their process is to immediately encrypt with zero-knowledge encryption in such a way that only you can access.

If you can't trust their published open source code and their multiple audits, then sure, you should look for alternate solutions.

mental outlaw video

For anyone else, it's this video. I'm 5 minutes in and it's talking about how SMTP isn't encrypted so Proton can read unencrypted email. Yeah, no shit...
