How to make an online diary

Pick an app, set a password, start writing. Don't overthink it.

An online diary is no different from a paper diary – just digital. You write about your life, your thoughts, whatever's on your mind. The "online" part means it syncs across devices and is password-protected.

Quick setup

  1. Pick a platform. Day One, Journey, OhDiary, or even just a notes app. Any will work.
  2. Create an account. Set a password. Enable biometric lock if available.
  3. Write your first entry. Date, a few sentences. Done.

Tips

The hard part isn't setup. It's writing consistently. Start simple and build from there.
