| Apr 26 at 15:45 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | @cas I used to use pass until I realize that about half the confidential information (namely, on which sites do I have passwords?) was stored as file names, and thus unencrypted. So, can really not recommend pass for such use cases as keeping a diary. It imho slightly fails the second half of "make a complex as easy as possible, but not easier". | |

Write your notes/ideas/etc in plain text or markdown text. Write wrapper scripts to encrypt your notes when they're saved, and decrypt them when you need to edit or view them. For an example of what this looks like in practice, check out pass - it does exactly what's described above. In fact, there's no reason why you couldn't use pass for notes/ideas as well as or instead of passwords - I know I do. | |
| Apr 26 at 10:05 | comment | added | Kusalananda♦ | @ChesterGillon I chose to overlook that bit because I didn’t really understand it. apt install some-package is already quite simple, no? And encryption would presumably happen without user intervention anyway. | |
| Apr 26 at 9:54 | comment | added | Chester Gillon | @Kusalananda I wondered if the and any terminal command line syntax to simplify installation or functionality and ways to encrypt is greatly appreciated! part should be moved to a separate question, as seems independent of the Software Recommendation for a Journal or Diary app. | |
