Dear Diary: Forgive me, but I'm leaving you for a journal app

Rather than keeping a physical journal, a digital one could enable users to save different types of memories – from voice notes and photos to music and health data. — dpa

Your first kiss. The time you failed in maths. Diaries have traditionally been the place to write down your experiences, private thoughts and secrets. Now, with the help of a journal app, you can easily keep a digital record of them and much more, be it sporting activities, successful recipes or pleasant get-togethers with friends.

These apps can log, in a single place, not only events and activities but also your ideas, moods and personal goals, allowing you to create a "life album" of sorts that you can organise in various ways with various points of focus.
