Currently I'm using Joplin with Syncthing-backed file system synchronization. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I do like tagging- and Markdown-based systems.

I plan to upgrade to server-based synchronization, but before doing that, however, I wanted to see what other people are using.

Edit: So far I see a slight favor towards Joplin and Logseq, but I totally didn't expect (and appreciate) getting so many different answers.

I've tried lot of different apps, but I think I've settled on Trilium for now.

It doesn't have a great mobile experience, but the web app works fine on mobile. The app in general is super customizable and way easier to write scripts / plugins for.

any text editor... no, literally

I used to use Joplin, I liked that it integrated with my Nextcloud, and the markdown format. However, the way that it handles the markdown files was too black-boxey to me, with the way it split them up in a weird scheme.

Now I use Ghostwriter with straight markdown files inside my Nextcloud folder. So I still get the syncing functionality, but a more flexible setup that doesn't require a specific app to access all of my notes.

I didn't mention it, but that's actually my one (small) gripe with Joplin. It would be neat if I could access my notes with any markdown editor without having to open it through Joplin. That said, I don't know how I would've handled the file structure differently while keeping features like the history alive.

I use the one that comes with my iPhone. No problems with it…

[–] good_hunter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Me too. I realised I don’t need anything more. It’s easy, supposedly private and quite elegant.

I still use Keep. That have yet to fuck it up, but I'm sure they will eventually. Just like every god damn thing they do.

I'm using trilium and very happy with it.

Markor + synvthing

Joplin uses it's own database so interoperability is not perfect. Markor is so effing cool. That's on Android. On the laptop I use want ever is best suited for the task. Most often, a vim variant of notepad++

Siyuan. Ive been using it for a while now and find it very effective for my needs. Its gone through quite a few updates since i started using it and became open source in that time. It even has an android version as well which i do have installed on my phone but admittingly rarely use. I prefer writing information on a keyboard generally.

Notally on Android. Simple and light weight. Has widget support too.

I'm using Notion for everything now. I heavily rely on reminders scattered everywhere because Todo lists don't work for me.

Hedgedoc and Nextcloud Notes

OneNote was my favorite until it started crashing on my iPad every 3 minutes.

I've been using Trilium Notes for the better part of two years and love it. I have used Obsidian and similar markdown apps, and I find it frustrating to add images due to the need to store them in a separate folder and reference them instead of just pasting them into the page and being done with it. To me, that's a barrier for notes when I'm trying to brainstorm. I really do like markdown, but it doesn't work with my though process.

I have a sync server setup at home (with no outside access) and do my main writing inside my network. For notes on the go I use the Notes app on my iphone (its quick and easy) and then drop the notes into Trilium when I get home.

I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! https://silverbullet.md/ - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page

[–] SteveCC@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I use https://simplenote.com/ I was thinking about switching to a Foss alternative from fdroid but haven't yet. Works good for me.

Perhaps not as full featured as the others, but I host wiki.js for my knowledge base on my local server.
