I'm looking to move from Microsoft's OneDrive / ToDo / OneNote

• Joplin

  771 43,083 9.9 TypeScript

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

There are great note taking apps like Joplin, Obsidian or Trilium Notes, the latter being my favorite of the three and sadly not widely known (yet). They aren't as well suited to more complex notes / project documentation, though. Ultimately, while certainly nice, they don't offer that much more than NC Notes. Which is why I went with BookStack instead.

• Trilium Notes

  278 25,553 9.6 JavaScript

  Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• BookStack

  312 13,908 9.6 PHP

  A platform to create documentation/wiki content built with PHP & Laravel

  

Personally, I use BookStack, which doubles as note taking app to store relevant information about ongoing projects, as well as documentation for e.g. my home server setup. It's a decent compromise between being easy enough to use to keep notes in there and being complex/capable enough to use it to store documentation longer term. And I think the UI is just gorgious.

• obsidian-releases

  1,654 8,056 9.9 JavaScript

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

• Outline

  194 24,546 9.9 TypeScript

  The fastest knowledge base for growing teams. Beautiful, realtime collaborative, feature packed, and markdown compatible.

  

Long time onenote user. Although I can’t say it’s exactly like onenote, I have now settled with Outline wiki. https://www.getoutline.com Check it out, once you accept the fact that it doesn’t have internal auth of any sort, it’s pretty good.

• Wiki.js

  122 23,557 7.1 Vue

  Wiki.js | A modern and powerful wiki app built on Node.js

  

There are wiki solutions like Wiki.js, which are great to store project documentation, but might be a bit much for simple notes.

• web-client

  137 433 4.9 JavaScript

  Cryptee's web client source code for all platforms.

  

I used OneNote for lists and things. I've replaced it with https://crypt.ee/. Same functionality, more security.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• Mail-in-a-Box

  183 13,324 8.8 Python

  Mail-in-a-Box helps individuals take back control of their email by defining a one-click, easy-to-deploy SMTP+everything else server: a mail server in a box.

  

MailPlus works well for migration (tried from GMail, I've archived 20 last years EMails with that). But you'll need also to setup SMTP and other email service. Maybe having a VM inside Synology VM manager with Mail-In-A-Box but, you'll probably need a static public IP somewhere.

• QOwnNotes

  69 4,353 9.6 C++

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

I've replaced OneNote with https://www.qownnotes.org/ , which accesses your Nextcloud via API and lets you edit notes and tasks. Your notes stay universal markdown files which you can edit in any other note taking app too.

• xournalpp

  221 10,313 9.5 C++

  Xournal++ is a handwriting notetaking software with PDF annotation support. Written in C++ with GTK3, supporting Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, SUSE), macOS and Windows 10. Supports pen input from devices such as Wacom Tablets.

  

For ToDo, well, there's plenty of options. But, I have heard that Xournal++ (https://xournalpp.github.io/) is pretty decent alternative for OneOnote. I should state that i myself have not used it (nextcloud notes suffices for my work flow). But, many others rave about this.
