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.

    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!
