Any recommendations for a self hosted note taking app that runs on everything with a screen and is designed for multi device usage?

Also a modern, powerful and puristic UI would be a must have to compete with Keep.

I am looking for this app every now and then but am always disappointed by the choices.

I recently tried Joplin on Android, but was very dissatisfied with the usabilty.

The FOSS self hosted alternatives for smart home and porn are better than the commercial ones, can’t be that hard for notes, can it?

    self hosted alternatives for smart home and porn

    How does self hosted porn even work and how am I the first person to notice that sitting there and mention it?

    I’m a big fan of Logseq. I use Syncthing to sync a folder between my desktop and phone and it works great. Tagging, everything is in markdown, and it’s easy to navigate around.

    Mind sharing what were your issues with Joplin?

    My only issue is that it does not have any widgets on Android. So, I use Nextcloud Notes when I need that. But Joplin is actually great. You can self host a joplin server or sync using a Nextcloud server. It supports advanced markdown and I like the UI as well.

    You can try Bookstack, but it will work on a web browser only. Another option is Obsidian, but I think only the apps are FOSS, the backend is not.

      This is the way.

      I’m using Logseq and syncthing across Windows, Linux and Android. Works well.

      The TODO / DOING / DONE option works well for me for checklists and the on the fly linking is amazing.

        One of the main things I feel is missing is there doesn’t seem to be a way to view and track all tasks in all your pages, I generally like tasks to live with the relevant info rather than in the journals. Do you know if there’s a way to get something like that?

          Yes, look at the TODO / DOING (virtual) pages.

          There’s also a Todo plugin (desktop version only at the mo), but I didn’t get on with it.
