Made a quick personal notes and event logger in my spare time to self host. Online services close accounts all the time for no reason and people lose their data so I decided to make something easy to make and use. Just remember to create regular backup of the SQLite database file. If you need to delete and recreate a new fresh SQLite database file run setup.php file again. View the setup.php file once in your web browser so the setup can create a login password and after that open the file setup.php in your ftp server and view the password.
Notes
Requires PHP, SQLite and a web server.
Changelog:
[2026-06-21] Added relative date and time to timestamp
