Journal apps: 3
MacJournal
Keep a personal journal with a calendar and time line. You can also group entries, and use it as a notes app. Started out free in 2002, went paid, and now it’s free again.
Mini Diarium
Private offline diary app features AES-256-GCM encryption, local-first storage, no cloud, and no telemetry. The trade-off is that it is desktop-only.
