Never need to import / export your notes, as you always have control of the data. Apps may come and go, but your notes will always be with you.
The app comes with a clean, easy to use interface designed to focus on just writing your journal entries without any distractions.
We have chosen Git as a backend as self-hosting a Git server is much simpler than almost any other software, additionally there are already many commercial providers of Git. So you can choose who you want to trust with your notes. We currently don't support encrypting the notes, but it's something we're actively working on.

might work in some cases but not safe to use git repo with other devices, it silently loses data by dropping your changes and not merging. would not recommend

I use this app for notes of all kinds from lists to creative projects and, of course, a journal. I back up all my markdown documents to my own git server. I'm planning to migrate all my old keep notes over to this to enjoy even more data sovereignty.
