Hello all!

On my android phone I have basically been using google keep to store my notes. Do yall recommend any FOSS alternatives? Preferably one that has a desktop version that can be synced.

Interfacing markdown:

  • Joplin (pretty popular, haven't used)
  • Standard Notes (same as above)
  • Markor (feature-packed, a bit outdated)
  • BeautyXT (maybe a bit too minimal almost, but gets the job done if you just want text based editing)

Interfacing orgmode:

  • Orgzly (beautiful simple app that uses a superior syntax when compared to Markdown due to its built-in agenda and to-do structure)

Syncing flat files (might not be compatible with all of the above)

  • Their own hosted server if available (easy but not private, some provide E2EE)
  • Syncthing (easy and private)
  • WebDav or an SFTP server (hard if self-hosted or otherwise easy through some providers)
  • Termux + a Git server (pain)

I use Markor on android, plus a self-hosted instance of codeserver for editing online. Synced via syncthing. Sometimes i use Obsidian with the same synced folder.

If you have a nextcloud instance, and you don't need Keep's collaboration features, Carnet is FOSS and is a decent solution

Another option is simply Nextcloud Notes, which now does markdown checklists that can be interacted with on both desktop and mobile, so I've finally been able to switch to that.
