I’ve gone handwritten, obsidian, onenote, and now Trilium. Considering switching to something else because there is no offline mobile support.
I use memos and trilium together but since neither offers mobile offline support considering switching both. No reason to run two services when I could run one.
Considering:
- Joplin
- Logseq
- SiYuan
- ?
Mobile offline sync is a lost cause. The dev environment, even on Android, is so hostile you’ll never get a good experience.
Joplin comes close, but it’s still extremely unreliable and I’ve had many dropped notes. It also takes hours to sync a large corpus.
I wrote my own web app using Axum and flask that I use. Check out dokuwiki as well.
I’ve been happy with joplin, I leave it on my nextcloud
Obsidian with syncthing works offline.
Oh I’m ashamed of this one, but notability on a second hand iPad for handwritten and otherwise notion. I’m sorry but nothing has its polish, goodnotes just isn’t good enough and doesn’t have enough setting to make it good either. I refuse to use one note. In regards to notion it’s the sharing and collaboration features that are killer.
Recently discovered KleverNotes by KDE, while only a desktop app it’s really really nice! It’s dead simple and straight to the point markdown editor. Recommend folks to check it out.
300 page 5 subject 5-star branded binder for actual schoolwork
for personal scheduling/journaling?
Same. I’m addicted. I literally have 5 strewn about me right now.
I use a brand called “decomposition” books, I guess because they’re made with recycled paper.
Mostly just copious amounts of “new tab” in notepad++
Obsidian, or a normal txt
Nextcloud notes is just my life now.
Flat notes. I’ve tried a bunch of different more complex apps but I keep coming back to flat notes.
As in a folder of text files? Because that’s what I’m doing. Syncing across devices with Syncthing and editing/adding files with whatever markdown editor works best in each platform.

Yes, thanks for linking
I kinda like joplin’s groupable notes… then again “flat” is in the name… maybe… interesting…
I use Joplin. They have a sync server you can host for yourself.
Emacs. Org. Mode.
Use Orgzly Revived for mobile sharing.
Joplin synched with syncthing (or Synchthing.fork on android).
I do the same, but I’ve run into a bottleneck where Joplin syncs encrypted notes really, really slowly to local storage. So looking to switch to hosted Joplin server
I’ve used Logseq for 2-3 years but it’s slow and a pain to use on mobile. I discovered Tiddlywiki in December, I love how customizable it is, but it’s been taking me a while to tweak it to match my usual workflow. Running it via nodejs server on android (termux) and laptops (so I’m accessing it on localhost on all devices) and syncing the wikis between devices using Syncthing.
Obsidian.md + paying for sync.
Transitioned from a mix of Keep + OneNote + Obsidian.md to just Keep (hidden todo list feature I utilize to keep track of shipping orders I have yet to receive) and obsidian.md (I have yet to import my old personal and work KB into the synced KB).
My other option was NotesNookHeres my thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/34370838
Also Obsidian but with syncthing
Syncthing on my home server, synced with each device I use for notetaking, has been glorious so far. I wish Obsidian would offer Sync for a cheaper rate, because I’d pay if it felt like anything near the cost of actual sync and storage. But Obsidian’s cheapest tier is more expensive than my email hosting!
Woah! Yeah it is! Well nearly. I pay $50/yr for my email. Obsidian is $48/yr for sync. My email even comes with WebDAV which if it were a better protocol could do the syncing! Haha
I expected obsidian to not store the kb locally with bare files but more like in a microsoft cloud-like approach.
Oh well. At least it’s stable and has partly a transactional sync history.
