Looking for an app for note-taking with the following features:

  • No ads ever
  • No nudges to upgrade, subscribe, unlock premium features, or any bullshit like that.
  • No recurring fee (ok paying up-front for the app)
  • Clean, simple interface

That’s it. I don’t need multimedia, multi-device syncing, cloud storage. I just need a place to write down ideas and grocery lists.

Recommendations?

Obsidian

  • text files stored in markdown on your device
  • no premium service to unlock features. You can buy sync and publishing if you want to, but there are no nags to purchase them.
  • you can roll your own sync solution you wanted to. Its just text files. Same goes with publishing.
  • community plugins if you want to extend it
  • desktop clients and ios clients
  • free forever

I found Obsidian good, and Markor the best, on Android.

Quillpad is like an open source Google Keep and you can use Nextcloud to sync it all.

Ideally, I’d want a way to import my Google Keep lists into it then I could bin Keep for good.

Markor. It’s as simple as it gets, but can scale up if you decide to later

This and others by simple are exactly that.

Notes. Gallery.Dialer. keyboard. Clock.

No ads. Absolutely zero unnecessary permissions. No telemetry or sneaky internet connections.
