How to make a diary online

Pick a platform, create an account, start writing. That's basically it.

An online diary is just a diary you keep on your phone or computer instead of in a notebook. Setting one up is simple.

1. Pick a platform

Options include dedicated journal apps (Day One, Journey, OhDiary), note apps (Apple Notes, Google Keep), or even a private blog. Pick one that syncs across your devices and has password protection.

2. Set up your account

Create an account. Set a password or enable biometric lock. That's your privacy sorted.

3. Write your first entry

Date, a few lines about what's on your mind. Done. Don't overthink it – you can develop a style over time.

Why digital?

You have it everywhere (your phone is always with you)
You can search past entries
You can't lose it (cloud backup)
No one can accidentally find it (password protection)

The platform matters less than actually writing. Pick something simple and start today.
