After reading lots of comments, I’m now feeling very unique myself. I leave apple notes because that cannot be synced to another windows or android devices. Also cannot be accessible from internet any time. Telegram fixed my problem with private channel feature. I’ve created couple of channels and set suitable name and icon on them then pinned them on my chat list. Also Created a chat group for my channels. Now I just pick the right channel and start typing, date and time are automatically added. Also notes under threads (messages under channels) can be edited any time. From my pc, android, iPhone elsewhere!! Also I can upload images videos or files, unlimited storage! One problem is, there are character limits without telegram premium. So, if the writing became long that will be uploaded in part. Also there are hashtag facilities! After discovering this unique technique I’ve stopped all tools and apps (except microsoftWORD)! But my pen pencils are all time beside me with my notebooks and diary….

That's interesting. Can you export all of your entries after? Or search through it? I think the problem with creating something like this is that you are dependent on the platform, and if it goes away or if they delete it out of nowhere, you're shit out of luck. I would always want a way to export everything I wrote.
Telegram has the "download my data" option which can give you all the data in your account. Alternatively, one can use Telegram client API to fetch just a channel and its entire content.
