Preferably an application that you can sync and save. Not sure what alternatives are safe in terms of privacy and security.
I just use whatever text editor I have and make MD files synced with Syncthing. On mobile I use Markor.
I’ve tried several different methods, and as much as I try to be organised, I feel pretty good with my folder of files.
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
Fossify notes
I like Notesnook and Standard Notes. Joplin is another pretty good option, but you have to manually enable E2EE in the settings.
@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. 😁
