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
- ?

@ocean maybe @notesnook is something for you.
It’s even E2E encrypted in case somebody got access to your server or so.https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook-sync-server?tab=readme-ov-file#notesnook-sync-server
Joplin on a docker macvlan thru NGNIX proximanager via some proxied website name from cloud flare. My phone goes to the mynotes.website.com name, it gets proxied to my IP, the traffic hits my NGNIX server, then it tosses it to Joplin. Lol it works.
I use Obsidian with the obsidian-live sync docker container to sync data between devices instantaneously. It is not open source but they store plaintext markdown notes and its extendable with plenty of open source plugins.
I use obsidian but I wish there was an open source notes platform that could do what I want:
- Excalidraw support ( or similar ) with PDF import and annotation support ( this is achieved by a plugin on obsidian )
- Vim mode
- Markdown for everything
I have tried so many notetaking tools and the closest I ever got was using xournalpp for PDF annotation and drawing, then writing plain markdown in helix / neovim, with a live markdown rendering pane on the side. Was just too clunky though.
Trillium. It works well via browser and reasonably on a mobile browser.
Obsidian is excellent but I can’t install any applications on my work computer and the web hosted version was buggy and slow. If I didn’t have IT blocking me I’d be using Obsidian again.
I use logseq. But I’m not entirely happy. Automation of processes is a pain in the ass. Mobile is buggy.
I’m using https://anytype.io/. Offline applications for all major systems, synchronization out of the box.
I’ve been using this, as well. They default to hosting your “vault.” It does peer-to-peer syncing, if you don’t want to have a server involved at all. I’m running their self-hosted server, but that’s only after I decided that AnyType was what I was looking for. I really like that it’s object based, so you can create templates for things like meetings that are their own type, separate from a bog-standard page.
How was setting up the server? I’m on my phone right now so so I’ll check out the docs later but were there any problems deploying?
A little rough, to be honest. It’s a docker-compose deployment, but it requires you to run
maketo deploy it. The makefile does extra configuration and such to allow the containers to come up healthy. It works, but it’s overcomplicated and styled after their own deployments, so probably way more compute than what is needed for one household.Oh and because of this protracted topology, it’s tough to hide behind a reverse proxy.
TXT files I sync with syncthing.
Use amaze file manager built in txt editor on android and vim on desktop.
Emacs. Org. Mode.
Use Orgzly Revived for mobile sharing.
Nextcloud notes, it gets the job done 👍
I use Joplin. They have a sync server you can host for yourself.
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.
I assume https://github.com/dullage/flatnotes
Yes, thanks for linking
Ah, makes sense!
I kinda like joplin’s groupable notes… then again “flat” is in the name… maybe… interesting…

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.
I use text files and grep
Yeah, haha. 😂
Wait a moment… 🤔
