good apps for journaling and documenting?

I'm working on this project where I need to document what goes on in my home, along with the dates. I've stuck to typing in a google doc but its been barebones. Like I know how to make headings and type under them but I'm not getting the most out of it. It feels like it's been the bare minimum. I want an app that comes with the bare minimum ALONG with extra stuff, little things I never considered but still really help. Things like daily reminders, structured pages, etc. I'd prefer it to be free.
