Hey everyone, I'm trying to replace most of the private owned app I use by FOSS ones, and today i'm pointing at notion.

I just use it as a way to organize my notes and use it both on my laptop and phone, and i'm looking for something that can have that fonctionnality.

I've already looked into a bunch of foss note taking apps but I didn't see any that could do it. (maybe i didn't look hard enough tho)

I'm willing to use syncthing or smth similar if needed.

do you have any recommendations? anyway, have a nice day and thanks to everyone making the internet/softwares more libre and accessible!

EDIT: I am going to edit this to reflect that I HAVE NOT tried Joplin 3.5 which says: "

More reliable syncing and sharing

Syncing and sharing have been made more robust in everyday use. Joplin now handles repeated syncs more efficiently, avoids unnecessary data usage, and is better at detecting and syncing all changes, particularly when using WebDAV and S3 sync targets."

Until I have new data I will scratch this out:

~~In Joplin, I have never been able to successfully use an s3 instance with two or more joplin clients. It corrupts eventually. This is using a bucket for storage directly, not WebDAV.

From my research the best bet is self host, webdav, or some kind of file sync ~~

That's weird... I've been using S3 to sync Joplin between Linux and Android without corruption issues for more than a year now.

Looks like you are lucky so far. It is still in beta and not considered a full fledged part of Joplin, they have told me as much.

I admit I havetn't tried in the last six months. I think I might, the release notes for January 2026 say they improved sync.

I also was using 3 clients, so maybe I hit it faster. Maybe 2 is ok.
