Highly recommended notes apps
(lemm.ee)
There are tons of Notes app available in the playstore and f-droid. I have use my fair share of them these are my best 5 recommendations. All of these are free to use and have to pay extra if you want specific features.
- All in one - Wenote - This is the most powerful note app I have used. This has memo, voice record, calendar, sync, color coding, various fonts, categories etc. Some of these features are behind a paywall. But It is a one time payment. It looks minimal and is light weight.
- All in one but foss - Joplin - This is an open-source project. Available on almost all platforms. If you want a powerful cross-platform note taking application then this is the best bet. This is Completely free but has an option of premium sync option. You can use free sync service to nextcloud and webdav.
- Security - Standard Notes - This is a note taking application that focuses on security. This is an open-source private notes app meaning your notes are end-to-end encrypted, so only you can read your notes. It has a minimal and clean UI. It has dedicated apps for most platforms and syncs your notes securely across all your devices, including your Android devices, Windows, iOS, Linux, and Web.
- Modern - Bundled Notes - This is the most modern looking Notes app on my list. It is aesthetically pleasing and intuitive. A powerful notes, lists, reminders and to-do app. Easily organise notes, lists, photos, files, and more. A google keep alternative.
- For casual use - Notally - A lightweight note taking application. A simple and elegant open source notes app. Notally is a minimalistic note taking app with a beautiful material design and powerful features. Dark mode, Completely free, Adjustable text size, Auto save and backup, No permissions required.
P.S: Obsidian is also a great Note taking tool.
And add Syncthing to sync your obsidian vault with all of your devices and you have the perfect solution
Does this avoid paying for their sync services? I'd love synced notes but to be honest, I wouldn't use the feature enough to pay for it
Yes.
You can sync your markdown with any sync solution. So yes. Super useful.
Yep. I've been using Obsidian/Syncthing for about 2 years now. It has been 100% flawless for me. Changes sync across devices within seconds.
And still unable to just store it on some personal cloud space like Gdrive, mega and OneDrive :|
I want my goddamn stuff there instead of local storage.
If you can map those drives to your PC and phone you could do that.
Mapping/Mounting is what's difficult. The default Google files explorer has not a way of mounting my OneDrive account. Not even GDrive is able to as far as I am aware. And I have a Pixel to boot. Seems really trivial if even Apple just seems to mount the iCloud to the file manager natively.
And this option (Google Files) only links to the appropiate app. Even GDrive is just linked there -_-....
