Joplin (version 2097685): a note taking and to-do app with sync between Linux, macOS, Windows, and mobile

Version through the full install instruction page is 2.9.8 https://github.com/laurent22/joplin-android/releases/download/android-v2.9.8/joplin-v2.9.8.apk

I am now using Joplin for regular notes and Standard notes for private notes

I'm waiting for v2.9.1 for Android. I see this version in tags but no apk available yet in releases neither on Play Market.

For "Productivity", there's also Joplin, but sadly not on F-Droid, but you can get the APK here.

I am now using SyncThing to sync between my phone and my PC. On Joplin, I have to install an older version of Joplin 2.5.5 from Joplin's Github. On Joplin, I choose "File System" and paste in the location where Joplin / SyncThing transfer the file in/out. It works great. Version 2.5.6 and later used a different Android SDK which needs to be revised in order to work with local files. Version 2.5.5 is the latest version that still works with local folder.

Google Keep: This app is so basic that most open source note taking apps should suffice. As for the top editors, Joplin is good, can sync pretty well and even has error correction tools in case sync goes wrong, but you can't attach files bigger than 10 MB to notes. Neutrinote CE is almost just as good, it even has basic sketching feature but you can't attach anything other than images. Markor has terrible UX but it has good attachment support.

https://github.com/laurent22/joplin-android/tags There is a problem with the ordering on the repo. Check the tags instead of releases.

Joplin v. 2097642: a note taking and to-do app with sync between Linux, macOS, Windows

I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.

After minimal setup, it just works(tm).

You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").

I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)

For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

for windows though, i have the "synctrayzor" version, which basically just meanas it runs with an icon in the bottom right corner. https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor

I love it, plus there is a GUI wrapper for it: https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor

1 - Install SyncThing on my main Windows PC (through SyncTrayzor so that it can start on windows startup)

Ah, something extremely similar affects SyncTrayzor on Windows too! https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor/issues/760

If you are on Windows, are you using SyncTrayzor? Doesn't require setting up Syncthing as a service.

I have used Synctraysor for years, and absolutely love it. A little confusing at first, but once it's set up, it just works. I use it to sync 4 computers in 3 different locations. Never have to think about it. I live in Tennessee and have a second home in Illinois. They sync automatically so I neve have to think about it.

I have been using SyncThing via SyncTrayzor for over a decade on Windows. It is self-hosted, so I would suggest picking a high-capacity central point.
