Vimwiki works great for this! Hyperlinks and diary management, all plain text and able to be opened in anything.

I can second using Vimwiki! I have mine set up to automatically sync with Gitlab every so often too, so it’s automatically backed up.

I use https://github.com/gitwatch/gitwatch to do this.

I'm curious if there is something you are using on mobile for vimwiki? I've been using termux on Android, which works well enough.

Sadly I don’t have a solution for mobile. The truth is that I mostly use it on the computer though so it really hasn’t been a problem.

My backup method is pretty simple but it’s been silently chugging along for months now without a single hiccup. It’s just a git commit via cron job: https://thelinell.com/using-vimwiki/
