Preferably an application that you can sync and save. Not sure what alternatives are safe in terms of privacy and security.

    Notesnook. There’s quite a lot of private, secure, foss note taking apps, take your pick. Just check what features they have, eg some of them have no encryption at rest

      I’m excited to see they’re going fully open source. Looks like the last steps to making the sync server self-hostable are in the works. Do you use their paid service? If so: any complaints or caveats?

        I do use their paid service, though I’m considering cancelling to switch to using a markdown editor with syncthing for notes. I wouldn’t have any complaints about the paid service specifically. I’d say it’s a fair enough deal if you can get it on a sale. My reasons for wanting to switch are because I don’t like using cloud services when unnecessary, and to a lesser extent I’d prefer a native app over an electron app

    @clark I used Notally at first, but I wanted cross-device syncing at some point. So I discovered this app by a developer called Bill The Farmer, which this is insanely small (just a few KB). I keep my notes in pCloud. I’m not sure how private it is, but I am thinking of storing them inside a veracrypt container, synced with pCloud instead, and I am also keeping an eye on other options that have the ability of storing notes as Markdown files.

    I’m keeping an eye for now on Quillpad ver. 1.5 but I’m open to other options as well. 😁

      I’m gonna try out Quillpad. Seems relatively okay, gonna read some reviews later. Pretty cool you can save your notes in a zip document if you don’t have NextCloud.

    Believe it or not… Vimwiki (&& syncthing for synchronisation across my machines)

    it’s rather no nonsense idk. I’m not even a vim wizard, I just know the bare basics

    yes, I am completely serious (much faster to use on mobile too compared to a visual editor)
