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
- ?

I’ve been using logseq with syncthing for sync, across laptop/desktop/Android. Works ok, app can be a little chunky though and sometimes the manualness of coding queries can. E annoying. I have used joplin, trillium, Zim and a few others in the past. Installed silver bullet as a try too but haven’t gotten far into playing with it
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
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’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.
I’ve used a bunch, but I eventually moved to SilverBullet and will probably stick with it.
I use Joplin. They have a sync server you can host for yourself.
org-roam but logseq is good too.
For notes??
Yep. Moved away from Google Keep, wanted similar features and this worked for my needs. Seems others hate it for some reason though.
Could you explain how and why you use it for notes? I thought it was more for links
Did you use a docker compose yml? Could you please share that and how to do the env? I got it running but couldn’t get the env things running.
I use joplin with joplin server running through a reverse proxy in a docker container. I love it. It also supports encryption, so you could use a more convenient service like Google drive and still be assured of your privacy.
I use Joplin for day-to-day: to-dos, journals etc. I like Joplin, but I haven’t tried the others. I tend to be sticky with services, if something “works” I don’t go looking for better. Only when I have a specific problem I can’t solve do I branch out.
I use bookstack for documentation on the server, faqs guides, updates etc. perhaps that works for others. The lack of android app is what moved me to Joplin.
Obsidian and it syncs to my home server
Obsidian with syncthing for syncing between my phone and PC.
This is what I’m using and I haven’t found any reason to switch yet.
Yup. It’s a shame they don’t natively support cloud solutions like iCloud, which is what leads to workarounds like syncthing. It’s because they want to push their paid cloud option instead. But I also recognize that iCloud and their cloud hosting isn’t self-hosted, so it wouldn’t really fit here.
I’ve used Joplin for years. IDK why people have a hate on for it, it’s fine.
