How do you keep your recipes?
Do you use special software? A simple text file, maybe formatted with markdown?
I want to start writing the few things I know how to make down, because I obviously can't remember it. I want to "future proof" it, because I expect to add everything I know how to make to it.

In a well made bound diary.
It's very comfy.

It's somewhat romantic, but not convenient.

Use a tablet if you want to be like that but the waifu and I want a recipe book full of handwritten notes that can be given to the children someday.

Onenote or google keep, of course. Evernote isn't an option anymore.
I use an app called RecetteTek. I can feed it a URL with a recipe on it and it'll add the recipe to my collection. I can also add my own recipes. It has a backup and restore feature so every now and then I'll back up my recipes and put the backup file on my computer.

I write them on random scraps of paper and stick them in a folder.
Yeah, it's an archaic method, but I find that for me the act of writing down the recipe pretty much commits it to memory. Once I've written down the recipe and made it once or twice then it's very rare that I will ever need to refer to it again.
I think it's important to concentrate on the food itself rather than worrying about exact details of recipes. Unless you are baking then the amounts and timings in a recipe are simply guidelines. Ingredients vary in size, shape, and potency of flavor. That means you need to use your senses to evaluate the food while you're cooking it. Taste the food to see how much seasoning to add. Use the appearance, texture, or a thermometer, to determine cooking time. Rely on that, rather than concentrating on exact measurements and you will have much better results. Exact measurements are counterproductive.
