The last update was in 2020. Electron version is 8.0.

I have been using it since then on linux… however, I am not too sure if I should keep using it?

If I am moving to another app, I am thinking of rednotebook, unless there is something better.

    You should at least play around with the export options and do regular exports. You really don’t want your diary of over 5 years to be stuck in an unmaintained app. And since this seems to be supporting exporting into markdown - maybe try an export and checkout logseq or Obsidian?

    If you are afraid someone gets access to your computer and then has a ready to use backdoor in that app and you can lose valuable prose, then use something different.

    If not, what else are you worried about?

    If you want a proper journaling app :

    Inner Ink

    Linked

    Rednotebook seems solid

    Having markdown means you can use it in a variety of apps but I’m not sure how many have encryption (obsidian and joplin maybe?)

    You could also try Trilium Next

    I also found Darkwrite. Can export as HTML
