A free cross-platform encrypted daily journal / diary app, with full CSS styling. It is built with Sqlite3 and SQLcipher with AES 256 CBC encryption.
Due to the amazing Obsidian project, there is no need for this project to continue. Obsidian does everything this could do and a lot more.
If you want to have an encrypted Obsidian instance, just use Cryptomator + Dropbox or Google Drive.
I built it as a free and open replacement for The Journal by DavidRM, which I have used for many years. The main issues I wanted to solve were better styling, and the ability to know that my entries are safe for the long-term, with an open and known database format.
