Back

Evernote https://evernote.com/ --> I've used this one for ages and back then there weren't many similar apps available. Good for mixed notes with pictures and other files mixed in and syncing to other devices. I've stopped using it since it is just too heavy and slow and I often get sync conflicts. Not sure if the issue is in front of the display though
Now I have to migrate my notes somewhere (or just delete most of it )

Trello https://trello.com/ --> used this one for private coding projects or keeping track of bigger projects like renovations and such with a longer timespan and multiple stages.
As a visual person I do enjoy the look and feel, dragging around stuff, keeping track of the stages a certain work item might be in, adding updates/pictures etc. to the different items, adding colors and labels etc. ... a little bit cumbersome to use this in addition to sth else though.

Google Keep https://keep.google.com/ --> as an Android user easy to pick up, ok for quickly writing sth down. Easy to invite other (google) users and have shared notes, for example a grocery list or things like that.
My app is still full of old stuff, which, again, I can probably just quickly go through and delete most of it (but those notes might be uuuuseful some day )

Notally https://f-droid.org/packages/com.omgodse.notally/ --> Found this one through f-droid as I was looking for a tiny notes app that doesn't automatically share my data anywhere.
Using this on my phone for quick notes taking, just to keep sth in mind or for later moving that information somewhere else.
Downside here is the lack of sync to other devices, but I can live with that as these notes are rather tiny reminders usually.

Now my maybe future solution #Obsidian https://obsidian.md/ --> Have heard lots of good things about this. Seems to be easy to get into but hard to master , tons of plugins. You write your notes in basic txt files as markdown and decide yourself wether you want to sync or not. Have been playing around with it a bit and digging it so far. Seems to be snappy. Not sure how well the daily notes plugin will work in the end, but definitely willing to try that out

One that I almost forgot: #Notion https://www.notion.so/ --> Have been using this for a couple of months now. I like the snappyness and how effortlessly it syncs stuff. Mobile app just works .
NOT digging the #ai functionality that has been creeping into it. It seems that it wants to be your #oneringtorulethemall app

@superFelix5000 One good thing about local non-cloud apps is you can just run the old version (almost) forever if you don't like what they have done to it. Evernote does not apply there unfortunately.

@superFelix5000 It took me a good while to get Obsidian arranged how I want it but it has been worth the effort. I love that my notes are now mine regardless of what corporate takeovers or pivots unfold in the years ahead. Hope it works well for you.
