Notally VS Joplin

Notally | Minimalist Notes (version 5.0): A simple and elegant open source notes app

You can try https://github.com/OmGodse/Notally from fdroid

Notally (If u want a straight simple app... But this doesn't have a cross platorm sync or anything.. But u can export easily) Try them both and see which one you like

Lol it's really a good thing to learn android development.... But incase of note taking app there are tons of actual good note taking apps which are completely open source, private with no trackers.. Here are some recommendations:- - Standards Notes - Notally - Quill Notes - Joplin - Obsidian And these are just the names of few...there are still good ones out there.... Ps: some of them are super complex with tons of features...and some pretty simple with basic features....so choose what you prefer/want

- Notally (https://github.com/OmGodse/Notally): UI matches my needs but no file sync to local storage. Issues seem to be disabled on GitHub

Try Notally, Joplin, Orgzly, Standard Notes, or Quillnote. You will have to decide what's best for you.

Notally | Minimalist Notes (version 4.0): A simple and elegant open source notes app

I really like notally but notes cannot be accessed from file system https://github.com/OmGodse/Notally

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
