I recently found jtx board.
It has journal, todo list, and notes functions but it can be customized to only show whichever function you use on the main screen.

Have you looked at Notesnook? It has E2EE and data at rest. You could use it without an account if you don't care about sync. But if you ever did it has apps for every platform as well as a nice web app. There is a free tier and a paid tier. I finished my trial of the paid plan and was offered a 30% off coupon code for a 1 year membership. For $25 I figured worth a try.
This looks great! I just downloaded it and so far it seems to be what I was looking for. Thank you!
Oh good, I'm glad you like it! I think this will be the app to beat once they launch the self-host option. I don't mind paying $25 for a year to let them host it (encrypted of course) but I'd much rather host it myself.
On of my favorite features I just discovered last night actually. If you put /now in the text entry field, it'll inject the date and time. Makes it nice for the journal type entries. You can also do /time and /date if you only want one or the other.
For example:
Maybe logseq?
I personlly use markor if you are willing to use text files for simple task like that, probabily It will work for you
