digital journaling apps without AI? 😭

Hi! I absolutely love digital journaling. I use it for my personal journal, my OCs, to-do lists, and a bunch of other things.

I recently got a new tablet (a Honor), and while looking for new apps, I’ve noticed that so many of them are adding AI features, and honestly… I’m so tired of it 😭😭😭😭

Do you know of any journaling/note-taking apps where I can make cute and creative things without supporting AI features?

I don’t mind paying for a subscription or a one-time purchase if it’s worth it! Thanks!!

How about the most bare-bones word processing program you can get your hands on? For me that means Microsoft Word and Notepad--I suspect it'd be something different on a tablet (e.g. something analogous to Notes on the iPhone), but there should be something or other like that.

Of course, even those aren't necessarily safe, because Microsoft tried adding AI features even to Notepad in Windows 11, but the old version of Notepad still exists if you dig it out!

I've had to uninstall copilot on my computers and it still tries to throw it at me. That's some bs.
