For passive logging, I've got Orger, set of scripts that are pulling data from different APIs and render it as org-mode [1]. Having it as org-mode allows me for quick search and recall in the logs.
There is also Memacs that uses similar approach [2].

I'm using an iphone, do you have any suggestions about how to sync up entries made on the move?
I’ve been using Day One for a while. I started using it in 2012 as a simple journal but it became a essential tool in logging my life.
I've been trying to come up with ways to automate entry of other data as entries in day one, because something that's really useful is that you can grab a copy of the sqlite database underneath it and do what you want with it.
I've taken the odd approach of messaging myself in chat software.. in my case, I have "conversations" with myself in Telegram. I feel like I journal more when it's just text and unstructured, rather than, for instance, a detailed form. It's not exactly what you are looking for, but has some good properties: - Always easy to jump in to, since I use TG to chat with people all day long; works on all devices (I need to j…
I use Telegram the saved messages thread, which I have pinned to the top. You basically send messages to yourself.

I've imagined the bot to:
* save each message in the chat as a separate "log" in a text file that is saved on an online backup. This can be a private GitHub repo, OneDrive, etc.
* give a short summary/statistics of how much I wrote
* tag message with the hashtags I use
...etc.
I haven't got time to start it, but hopefully I do soon. How would you like this sort of a personal bot?

How you find information. It looks like good for 2-3 days or week but after a month you could not able to find the information.

Exactly for this purpose - using TG as a "personal logging/journaling" platform - I've long thought of building a bot. Since Telegram's bot API is very robust, simple to use and set up, it can be done easily.

Transactions:
I record my transactions into ledger[0]. I wrote an auto-complete wrapper in Python to help speed up entry and another to keep the formatting consistent, but otherwise it's a manual job. It helps keep me aware of my transactions, plus I like to add comments and customize the entries instead of just loading them from the institution's CSVs.
