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
- ?

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.
Obsidian + syncthing on both my computer and android phone. I love that I can selectively sync certain folders to my phone so not everything is there slowing it down.
I want to like logseq but all the bullet points feels weird to me.
Logseq is also really really slow once you have a lot of notes unfortunately.
300 page 5 subject 5-star branded binder for actual schoolwork
for personal scheduling/journaling?
Nextcloud. But only because I already have it. I wouldn’t set it up just for that.
Obsidian, or a normal txt
I use Joplin. It’s fairly simple and very comparable to Evernote if you’ve ever used that, but it’s perfect for my needs.
I used LogSeq before, it’s very similar to Obsidian, the big difference being that it’s open source. It’s got a ton of features and the built-in whiteboard is actually really good, but I found it a bit overkill for my simple note taking.
- Logseq also makes each line start with a bulleted list which quickly made me go insane
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.
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.
I’ve used Joplin for years. IDK why people have a hate on for it, it’s fine.
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.
Nextcloud notes, it gets the job done 👍
Emacs. Org. Mode.
Use Orgzly Revived for mobile sharing.
Obsidian and it syncs to my home server
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.
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
