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 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.

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

This was a good topic to bring up, saw some stuff I have not heard of. Thanks.

any text editor... no, literally

VSCode + Foam + gitea (+ hexcalidraw if you want to draw)

I tried so many, eventually landed on trilium. It's not perfect by any means, but it ticks the most boxes for my needs

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.

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

[–] anon108@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I'm using trilium and very happy with it.

[–] conrad82@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

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++

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

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.

Hedgedoc and Nextcloud Notes

[–] krelltunez@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For long-term, permanent notes, I'm using Obsidian with Nextcloud and FolderSync Pro (which I also use for backing up some Android stuff to my Nextcloud).

For quick, easy notes while on the go (or that I need quick access to while out and about), I use Memos, which is more of a Google Keep replacement.

I used logseq for my first semester of university and I can't see any reason to switch right now.

It handles markdown and KaTeX, so it handles everything I need really, in a fast simple program.

Emacs+org-mode

[–] 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.
