android VS Joplin

When you only want to access the files you could wait for the freemium cryptomator app for android: https://github.com/cryptomator/android/issues/428

You can install cryptomator by adding the following url in obtainium:https://github.com/cryptomator/android/releases/

Such apps exist. Essentially they require a license key before accesing. For example, Cryptomator (github) and Threema (github) .

Cryptomator (version 2772): Put a lock on your cloud: Take the security of your data into your own hands

Ah, I see what you're asking. They don't have any free trial features, especially for the Android app. You can try to compile the apk yourself though. I don't believe you need the license key if you compile the code. https://github.com/cryptomator/android

It sounds like you are mixing some terms up. Open Source Software does not mean free of charge. The source code is open, modifiable (and usually instructions are given to build it). However, there are some licenses for this software. Cryptomator's Android code is here: https://github.com/cryptomator/android and the license, what to do with this software is here (You obviously can't just stick a different logo on top and sell it as your product).

You mean this? https://github.com/cryptomator/android

Its tracked in Github

Yep, also want to point out the app is actually open source, the only reason it's paid on Google Play is so that you can support the devs: https://github.com/cryptomator/android

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.
