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.
Logseq is the one that I use
It’s not a web app (not certain why op requested that bit), but it is on any platforms that you would want to use it on (iOS, Android, windows, Mac, and Linux all have it)
You can pay for logseq sync to sync files across all your devices, but I personally just use syncthing to keep it even more private (love me some good privacy-respecting foss)

I guess it doesn’t necessarily need to be web enabled as long as there is a way to use it in Windows and Linux.
I’ve searched for a journal app and the only thing that I’ve found that is private to me is Joplin with templates
I believe Joplin still doesn’t have a web app unfortunately. StandardNotes does and it could help here too. I’d think just making a new note for each entry will time and date it, but any editing of the note would change the time stamp.
I like Crypt.ee, it’s minimalistic.
However, I have tested many apps, but I don’t like the digital recording of notes, so I have become “analog” and use a pen and notepad. It also has better privacy. 😁
+1 for crypee
Proton will buy it, so proton will read all your notes (we remember proton’s “E2EE”)
In what way can Proton read any of your content?
I personally use Joplin.
You can sync it to your own self hosted server or any cloud storage if you choose.
Diarium Encrypted, save local or your own cloud solution, good features, templates, time stamping, media, weather, etc. Been using it for years.
orgmode may do that i guess
Some random notes app on F-droid probably has what you need. (Notes apps because “Diary” gives mostly medical/habit trackers/loggers)
Also check IzzyOnDroid repo (select “Writing” category or just search for “Diary”), it has more “modern” apps in my impression.
You will need to scroll through quite a few to find one you like. Just don’t get yourself into choice dilemma, pick one that looks decent and start using it.
Anything org mode file format based.
Check out Anytype.io. It’s, encrypted and versatile (use it as diary, task manager, etc) I’ve been using it for a year after I used a long time Obsidian and then Logseq.
