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.

Not FOSS, but I use Obsidian, and is FOSS, SyncThing for syncing.

There are FOSS Markdown editors of course, I just prefer Obsidian.

Same, it’s not a light app, but using what feels like a browser to take notes is pretty cool.

I love and use Obsidian, but a FOSS alternative to it is SilverBullet.md.

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.

Standard notes or Joplin have apps with versions for both phone and the desktop.

Other options:

  1. Markor (Android) - Syncthing - Zim (desktop)
  2. Orgzly (Android) - Syncthing - Emacs orgmode

If you have a Nextcloud instance, you can use QOwnNotes (desktop) and Nextcloud Notes (Android). You can also access notes on the web.

Haha, don’t remember watching anything recent. I have used all the ones I listed for a while and have settled on Markor/Zim, as I like that the most.

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.
