Fun fact KDE Connect is also available on iOS, so you can connect your android phone with an ipad or iphone with a window. The iOS version is still in beta though and a lot of features are still limited. https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

I don't know anything, but a search yields this KDEConnect repo for iOS https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

There is a beta version of KDE Connect on iOS you can get through TestFlight. It’s not fully featured due to the lack of background processing which means no notification sync and the app must be open to use it, but everything else should be working. I know file transfer and virtual touchpad work. https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

KDE Connect for IOS is in public testing that you can try it. https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

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.
