@thebiologist876 @frankie thanks to one of my friends who I cannot mention right know, I discovered Obsidian (it's website is obsidian.md). It is really good for note taking. I love it and recommend it.

Thanks for the mention, Em.

Cryptpad for notetaking? Hmmmmm it would be too much, like using Google Docs/MS Word for daily note-taking.
For maintaining a formal and large repository of information and for collaboration, they would be the best.
Moreover, Cryptpad doesn’t yet have a standalone app/PWA on any platform.

For productivity, Obsidian is great, but the sync feature costs 10 usd/month, to have Obsidian installed on multiple devices and sync between them. 🤭 Though, it’s one of the best, I hear.

For my personal usage, I use Standard Notes; it’s e2e encrypted, privacy-respecting, and minimalist, for the free plan. Additional features like themes, rich text, spreadsheets, Passwords, To-do lists, etc. are paid. (Worth paying a small, FOSS organisation) You needn’t even create an account to use it. standardnotes.com/

For work, I use Zoho Notebook. It’s the right combination of light-weight and feature-richness. (Not e2e encrypted, not FOSS, btw) The UI is beautiful. zoho.com/notebook/

Both the tools allow 2FA for logging in and are available for all platforms including on the browser.

For productivity, I think Notion and similar tools are pretty good. You could check out LogSeq, a FOSS Notion alternative. It’s way too good. (logseq.com/)

For an ultimate minimalistic experience, you could try SimpleNote. simplenote.com/

If you are into the Google ecosystem, Google Keep is also good enough. keep.google.com/ (Requires a google account, doesn’t work well offline)

Hope it helps. Feel free to ask any questions!

I used my alt to reply to this, coz it has a greater character limit! ☺️

Ok, lastly, there is NotesNook, and e2e encrypted, privacy-focussed notes app. It's cross-platform and has a reasonably good free plan.

It's made on the lines of Standard Notes, and the paid plans are cheap and come with a private vault unlimited attachments and storage, etc.

I won't say a yes or no on this one, coz I haven't tested it out personally.

@frankie Frankie, you are great! Standart Notes and Logseq looks fine for me. But now I'm thinking should I use them instead of Obsidian. Since Obsidian uses markdown for notes, it wouldn't be a problem to change the app. I will look pros and cons between these three apps. Thanks you for your help! @thebiologist876
