Convenience wins out 99% of the time. Why carry a pen/paper when one can use the same device they already carry around? Hell, I don’t even use pen/paper anymore because my phone handles all that for me.
That said, I did set up some infrastructure at home that I use to store as much of my private data as possible.

Drip, the app mentioned several times in this thread, let’s you encrypt the locally stored database with a password you have to enter every time you open the app. How is that not safer than a random piece of paper?
It’s so exhausting that this thread is full of men telling women what they should and shouldn’t do while having very little knowledge about the topic.

And of people who assume the genders of others.

I’m sorry if I misgendered you. I was already exhausted from the other comments that clearly state that they are men and probably was biased in that regard. But my point still stands that there is no reason to completely forego tracking apps.

Yeah, and of course I haven’t looked into all of the tech and security of ways to set up these apps. I’m just exhausted myself from it seeming like nothing is ever 100% secure or free from risk, and I’m so cynical about the country I live in and what it will become in the future that I would just rather not trust anything at this point. I’m sure that doesn’t 100% hold water/is completely rational, but it’s where my head is.
