Joplin synced with Syncthing had been working pretty well for me. Joplin seems to stay out of my way, but also provide features I want. (With the exception of note sharing, it does offer it, but as far as i know, not to the world, only to other users you create on Joplin cloud/server)

A few years back I had notes scattered around emails to myself, texts to myself, notes in random text files around my laptop, etc. And my passwords were awful insecure.

I finally spent some time to research options And set up stuff, and I've settled on Joplin for notes between my phone and Linux laptops, and keepass-xc for passwords, with syncthing syncing everything with my server. This has been working extremely well for me to help keep me organized and not reuse passwords, etc.

And its all local so it scratches that 'privacy focused' itch
