What sorts of tools/apps/programs/etc do people use to journal or record their solo adventures? I would love to have a fancy notebook and roll physical dice but being realistic I think something I could run on my Android as either a web or native app and handle both dice rolls and journaling would be ideal. I'm currently considering RoleGate since I use it for some PBP games with moderate success but I'd love to hear what other people use or have considered, either as all-in-one or standalone journals/dice/etc to make a complete system.

Adventuresmith is a good all-in-one tool for generating characters/npcs/monsters, etc. If you are playing Ironsworn or Starforged, Iron Journal and Stargazer are great. Iron Journal and Stargazer are websites, but you can "install" them on your android device. In either Firefox or chrome, go to the menu, and there should be an option to install, and you will have an app icon on your phone to launch it.

For journaling, you could use google docs for something simple and straightforward, or you could use Obsidian.md, which has some cool plugins for solo roleplay, but can be a little challenging to sync from phone to PC compared to something like google docs.
