  • focalboard

    Focalboard is an open source, self-hosted alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana.

  • Doesn't have an iOS app (yet), but focalboard: https://www.focalboard.com/ is a new project from the folks behind mattermost (open source slack alternative) that's quite feature-full already, and actively being updated. Supports cloud and self hosted.

  • It's not a notion clone, but it is worth looking at Joplin.
