Lifehacker has selected convenient and functional diary applications that will help you not to get confused in your notes, attach photos and videos to them, conveniently sort notes and hide the most intimate from prying eyes.

Journey

It is much easier to keep a digital diary while sitting at the computer than to type entries on the miniature keypad of a mobile phone. In this sense, the Journey app is almost flawless: your notes are available on Android, macOS, and Windows via Google Drive. In this case, you can install the program, extension for Chrome, or use the web interface.

In Journey records, you can leave a geotag, weather report, postcard sticker, photo or video. It is noteworthy that the application automatically detects movement and offers to add an activity, such as jogging or flying on an airplane. A very unusual opportunity that competitors simply do not have.

The paid version of Journey provides even more interesting functionality. So, the user gets additional text formatting tools, a night theme, synchronization with Google Fit. Moreover, you can use the dashboard, where it is scheduled by day from which devices you have viewed notes.

The application is made according to the canons of Material Design and is fully translated into Russian.

Penzu

The diary is a real chronicle of your life. It contains many descriptions of comic situations, treacherous twists of fate and Napoleonic plans for the future. Of course, for the time being, all this information should remain secret, neither close nor casual observers should know about it. How to hide your notes from prying eyes?

The authors of Penzu use 256-bit encryption for this. This option is available for a one-time fee. However, you can use the usual PIN-code blocking both for the entire application and for individual diaries.

The Pro version unlocks the number of diaries, personal covers, tags and fonts, and allows you to add notes via letter to your personal Penzu inbox.

Diaro

Lovers of paper diaries know how difficult it is to organize notes so that they can be found within a reasonable time frame when needed. As a rule, bookmarks and colored stickers are used. But they do not always help out, so you have to open the first page and flip through everything. The creators of Diaro know the problem and offer a solution.

So, the application has a powerful system for sorting records by categories, labels, date and place of creation. Additionally, there is a search bar that filters events by keywords. It works both for titles and content of notes, however, it is case sensitive.

The paid version of Diaro opens data synchronization with devices on iOS and Kindle Fire, and removes ads. Unfortunately, the diary's clean and very attractive interface is diluted with a banner. Surely this will not alienate users, especially if we mention high-quality localization and fine-tuning.
