    Joplin not mentioned. It’s like Standard Notes, but FREE, including cloud sync (many targets available). I used Standard Notes but their business model changed which drove me to look for alternatives and I landed with Joplin. Highly recommended!

      Standard Notes no longer has a business model. Since they were bought by Proton they have been on life support.

      Joplin is great, that’s what I use as well. I just wish syncing was a bit more seemless.

        What problem do you have? I use OneDrive sync, which is not even recommended, because OneDrive doesn’t work well with syncing many tiny files, but it works surprisingly good. If I need to sync NOW (rarely), there’s a menu item for that. Otherwise the automated sync was good for me.

          I use Nextcloud and the server is on the same network. My problem is mainly with the mobile app, I have to remember all the time to tap on the sync button just to make sure my notes are up to date. And it doesn’t do it in the background, I have to do it when I launch the app. The result is that if I open my notes while disconnected from WiFi I am stuck to whatever version it last synced.

          And similarly, if I edit something on my phone while offline it will never sync, unless I remember to actually launch the app when I am back online. If only it could sync on the background like DAVx5 does for my calendar it would solve most of my problems.

      I tried a bunch of alternatives and also landed on Joplin. Been using it for a couple years and it works great!
