After further inspection, I would recommend Joplin for most private

Thanks for your tips :-) I have been trying both Anytype and Joplin, and might use either, but they seem to be primarly note apps not task/todo/reminder/list/priority apps.

Your first links looked interesting, so I will do some research on them.

Would you be willing to pay? Some of the apps aren’t currently being developer unfortunately
