I'm impressed by the simplicity of the idea too, and going to try it.
Can't really choose what app to use, though. My go to choice for now is a vim and plain text file. But I'd love to have iCloud sync + smart features (like grepping over todos) out of the box. I use Obsidian for the second brain, and it looks like a great choice for interstitial journalling, but their app is an Electron :( Apple Notes seems like a great choice for iOS/Mac, but close source and I can't even find an easy way to automatically insert time. Notion is a great thing too for this, but, again, too web based.
For what it’s worth, I like Obsidian at the moment. I try not to think about it being Electron! It doesn’t feel slow or bloated.
I’ve also been using Drafts quite a lot for more temporary notes - an excellent Mac/iOS (native) app.
But most recently I’ve been trying paper notes again. I’ve been trying dated journal entries where I’m kind of documenting my state of mind, thought processes, and todos all in one place. Not too far off the concept of interstitial journaling, just missing the timestamps! So I’m going to adapt my paper journaling to incorporate this more granular time stamped approach and see how it goes.
No doubt I’ll shortly be back to doing this electronically… I rarely seem to stick with one way of doing things for too long.
