I have been using a Google Form with a single prompt to journal since 2016

I go for long walks at night a few times a week and find myself journaling a lot then. It got annoying to stop my walk to type out a thought so much, eventually I started primarily voice typing instead.

But I still had to stop and pull up the Google form, then start voice typing, fix any mistakes, and then continue the walk. So I moved on to just turning on a recording app on during the walks and just start talking whenever I want without having to stop or pull out my phone.

I transcribe the audio file when I get home and add it with a summary to the journal.

Now I keep a livestream going while I'm working at my PC and transcribe and summarize whatever happens there too.
