digital diary

Electronic personal record

A digital diary is a personal journal kept on a computer, phone, or online platform rather than in a paper notebook.

The term covers everything from simple text files to dedicated apps with multimedia, search, and privacy features.

Some digital diaries are private; others, like blogs, are meant to be read: She's kept a digital diary since high school.
