Preferably an application that you can sync and save. Not sure what alternatives are safe in terms of privacy and security.

    I’m a huge fan of Joplin. It runs on everything and syncs to either your or their cloud. Been using it for a few years now.

      2nd for Joplin. Love it to bits. It has its quirks, but they’re ones I can live with. The sync support is pretty awesome.

      Been playing with Logseq recently as well. Logseq is more for knowledge management/brain dump kind of notetaking, but it’s really cool that it’s so flexible. It helps that I really like using lists in the first place

      Does Joplin have a search function within notes? And it is fully FOSS, yes?

        I’m not sure what EXACTLY you’d be looking for from a search feature as I’m mostly a light user myself, but there’s a search option which will search the contents of all your notes. I can’t tell you how robust it is, but it does have exclusion (desiredTerm -excludeTerm) search at least, and there’s standard Find/Replace functionality once you’re in the specific note.

        Joplin itself is AGPL. Unfortunately, Joplin Server is under “JOPLIN SERVER PERSONAL USE LICENSE”.

        While I really like Joplin, I’m thinking of making the switch to something fully open source.

          not sure I follow your comment. Joplin Server would be relevant when you sync your notes through them, no? Or how does it affect the app?

            If you want to sync your notes to a central place, you can selfhost Joplin Server.

          You don’t need the server. It happily works with storing notes as files and syncing them with syncthing.

          Joplin server is a separate product that is for if you want to run a web server to sync and collaborate on notes.

      I used to work at video game company and Joplin was the code name for one of our projects, so now every time I see that word, I instantly think of that game. I think it was dragon age lol. Anyway, if I can get past that PTSD I might check out this editor! lol /s
