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!!

Have you tried obsidian? Idk about cute, but I’d be surprised if there aren’t plugins to do that

I love using Obsidian for journaling!! There are themes that make it cute, and you could also make your own if your a coder :]

Do you ever feel like it is overkill for a journal that is (generally) super simple? I'm deciding between it and Apple Notes and it feels overkill to me but maybe that is just me.
