  • QOwnNotes

    QOwnNotes is a plain-text file notepad and todo-list manager with markdown support and Nextcloud / ownCloud integration.

    QOwnnotes in combination with a self-hosted Nextcloud instance would be a possibility. The synchronization can be set directly in QOwnnotes and you also have the possibility to create or change notes directly in Nextcloud. QOwnnotes also offers the possibility to encrypt the notes using AES-256.

  • Nextcloud

    ☁️ Nextcloud server, a safe home for all your data

  • obsidian-releases

    Community plugins list, theme list, and releases of Obsidian.

    Another, in my opinion, great tool is Obsidian. However, it doesn't offer encryption out of the box, which could be solved with tools like Boxcryptor or VeraCrypt. Possibly there is also a plugin for Obsidian that adds encryption.

    I have used https://dillinger.io for my last few projects. It works and it has export functionality for .pdf and such.
