Does anyone have any recommendations for a good open source journaling app that can rival Day One? I'm looking for something end-to-end encrypted—I know Day One claims to be E2E, but I'm not sure I trust it. I use Joplin for my general note taking, but It's not really a suitable alternative for journaling.

Thank you!

I didn't bother looking at the license. I assumed it was openn source.

It's source available which is good and better than proprietary but as a free alternative is better.

I really like it but that changes things for me, thanks again! Journiv can decide some day to not publish the code and that's the problem for me.

    That is the distinction between Open Source and Free (as in Freedom) Software. I prefer the spanish/latin/french term Libre to refer to what you call "truly open source".

    Open source is indeed frequently used by big and smaller companies to do what I call OpenWashing. Yes the source code is available somewhere but the licence is so restrictive that it doesn't respect my freedom and thus isn't Libreware / Free Software.

    Also copyleft for the win!
