Do you keep a baking/cooking diary?

I bake bread 3 to 4 times a week, following various recipes and with mainly tasty results, but always tinkering with what goes in the mix and at what weight and all the other variables behind making bread.
Likewise, scones and flapjack at least once a week.
Just wondering how anyone records their baking, and in what medium? Must admit I'm edging towards a notebook and pencil rather than my notes on my phone or any app.

I keep mine in a notebook. Last recipe made was pretzels.

I did when I started sourdough baking.
Not writing much down these days as I found a recipe that works for my climate.
I will make notes if I tey something new.
Pen & paper. I use a 17-ring ordner/multi map/"box file" so I can add pages if needed
 
Since I mainly cook from recipes, I jot notes right in the cookbook on what worked, what didn’t, what I changed, and how I liked the finished dish.

If it’s an online recipe, if there was a problem with it, I just don’t make that one again, since there are a bazillion recipes for any given dish online.

That's what I do.

If it's an online recipe and I tweak, I'll copy and paste, then add in my tweaks.

If it's something I come up with, it's written up and stored electronically.

My recipes are on my phone, stored in cloud, or posted in a forum.
