Cryptee is a safety and privacy focused, encrypted and cross-platform personal data storage service. You can write personal documents, notes, journals, store photos and all sorts of other files.
It works on all your devices and provides a zero-knowledge place to keep all your sensitive digital belongings. cryptee has all the features you'd expect from a modern document editor, like live sync with unlimited devices, rich document editing, to-dos, markdown, hotkeys, code highlighting, latex math, embeds, attachments, support for tables, ability to attach pdf files, read EPUB ebooks, listen to audio-memos, as well as open and link other various file formats.
Cryptee is based in Europe, in Tallinn, Estonia. A country named "the most advanced digital society in the world" by Wired, and a country where the government runs on blockchain.
SeqLog is a native macOS outliner for people who want their notes to stay ordinary files.
Every note is a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose. There is no database and no proprietary format, so ripgrep, git, or any other tool on the machine reads exactly the same bytes. Full text search runs over the folder itself, so there is no index to rebuild or corrupt.
A daily journal and named pages sit side by side. Wikilinks connect them and every page lists the blocks that link to it. A command palette searches page names and file contents together.
Git is embedded rather than shelled out. Edits are committed in the background, the history panel expands each commit into an inline diff, and any single file can be reverted on its own.
It opens an existing Logseq vault in place, because it uses the same journals/ and pages/ folder layout. Nothing to import, nothing to convert.
Written in Swift on AppKit rather than Electron. Free for macOS.

> The only major hurdle to this is Apple continuing to treat web apps as second class citizens on iOS If you add a site to iOS' homescreen it automatically becomes a PWA. The best example I found of a site fully leveraging this feature is Cryptee[0]. They talk about the PWA thing here: https://crypt.ee/download [0] https://crypt.ee/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Well, then - if self hosting is not your thing - something like crypt.ee might be your thing? Clearly a different pricing model, data is fully encrypted, open source, across platforms. Source: over 2 years ago
Https://crypt.ee now. I used to mostly use local markdown editors like Ulysses and Zettlr. Source: about 3 years ago
Crypt.ee Ticks 1/2/3/5 of your requirements However free tier only has 100MB storage which might be enough for a journal, it also has the best rich text editor of them all, would highly recommend. Source: about 3 years ago
I've only used it for editing docs but have found crypt.ee very easy to use. Source: over 3 years ago
