  • Joplin

    Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

    • I've been using Joplin with the files encrypted and self-hosted (currently on Seafile, but soon to be Nextcloud) for note taking - really pleased with it so far. Works great on MacOS and iOS.

  • OCRmyPDF

    OCRmyPDF adds an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to be searched

    • Another option though is to split things up. I have https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF running and it's great. It's what paperless uses (or used to use). Right now I just have this monitoring a folder on my nas and then it moves the files elsewhere on the nas. So if you can find some software that can search inside of OCR'd PDFs, you can use this first and then stash them inside the other software.

  • Trilium Notes

    Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

    • I moved my stuff to Trillium Notes (https://github.com/zadam/trilium). I have mine on my Cloudron (cloudron.io) installation. Works well.
