Joplin
Joplin - the privacy-focused note taking app with sync capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
That's why I use https://joplinapp.org
It's markdown, open-source, free. With desktop and mobile support.
Syncs notes to any cloud of your choice for free. (I use One Drive)
Optionaly you can pay them to sync your data on their cloud. So they even have a compelling business model!

paperless-ngx
A community-supported supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents
It's a self-hosted document management system:
https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/
Think: replacing paper file folders with a digital system. Supports OCR, a variety of metadata, tagging and categories, etc.
My primary use case is taxes, but for any important legal or financial documents, I throw 'em in Paperless.

logseq
A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.

Even though Evernote is a competitor, it's still sad to see such a giant in the note-taking space go down so badly. Of course, I am still skeptical about this news and whether its actually true since no source has been linked.
Aside:
I work (and lead the development) on Notesnook, an end-to-end encrypted, open source alternative to Evernote. Since we are based in Pakistan, our pricing has been really competitive at just $4.49/mo (compared to $17.99/mo of Evernote). And best of all, we have one of the best Evernote Importers around: https://importer.notesnook.com/
If you'd like to learn more about Notesnook: https://notesnook.com/
Feel free to ask me any and all questions!

If you are okay with rclone (and do have vps/server/whatever somewhere) then Syncthing is the thing to do that.

In case if you want some Evernote alternatives, here's my shortlist:
1. Trilium Notes: https://github.com/zadam/trilium
-
AppFlowy
Bring projects, wikis, and teams together with AI. AppFlowy is an AI collaborative workspace where you achieve more without losing control of your data. The best open source alternative to Notion.
-
AFFiNE
There can be more than Notion and Miro. AFFiNE(pronounced [ə‘fain]) is a next-gen knowledge base that brings planning, sorting and creating all together. Privacy first, open-source, customizable and ready to use.
3. Affine: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE
-
5. Dendron: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron; requires VSCode
As a programmer I liked Dendron the most but if you want it to be packed with absolute features, try Trilium Notes (but some considered it to be feature creep and bloated)

I have never used this, but for NeoVim it looks like you might be able to use this (or hack on it a bit to make it work with LogSeq a bit better) https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman
-
ArchiveBox
🗃 Open source self-hosted web archiving. Takes URLs/browser history/bookmarks/Pocket/Pinboard/etc., saves HTML, JS, PDFs, media, and more...

Evernote was critically valuable for me but has degraded steadily and sadly for years now.
I began my Obsidian migration a few days ago and it's encouraging.
I found the evernote2md project on Github (https://github.com/wormi4ok/evernote2md) the best way to get from ENEX->md files with good resource references. Joplin wasn't getting it done.

logseq-anki-sync
An logseq to anki syncing plugin with superpowers - image occlusion, card direction, incremental cards, and a lot more.
https://github.com/debanjandhar12/logseq-anki-sync
... it's so easy to create and revise cards using this plugin, which is really important, as I almost never get a card's shape right for committing something to memory on the first try.
A couple caveats I'd mention:
* Logseq's sync system was really buggy for me during the time I used it. I stopped using it for a while, as the sync was the only way I could get E2E encryption and still have mobile access. With iOS advanced data security, I feel like iCloud sync gets me most of the way there.

remotely-save
Sync notes between local and cloud with smart conflict: S3 (Amazon S3/Cloudflare R2/Backblaze B2/...), Dropbox, webdav (NextCloud/InfiniCLOUD/Synology/...), OneDrive, Google Drive (GDrive), Box, pCloud, Yandex Disk, Koofr, Azure Blob Storage.
There's an Obisidian plugin for direct syncing to OneDrive that works on both mobile and desktop - this keeps you from having to deal with either triggered syncs through github or the various other, painful syncing processes.
