FOSS alternative to Google Keep
FOSS alternative to Google Keep
Yes, I know that the are dozens of notes apps. I'm looking for recommendations based on a few features that I like:
- nice design (including color coding)
- easy checklists
- sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.
- pinning and archiving (hidden notes)
I don't mind running it from my homelab server, but that is not a requirement. Does anyone use a notes app that you love? Let me know!
You're viewing a single thread.
Joplin + Syncthing has been great for me. Sync across multiple devices with no third party in between. However the "sharing" in this context is limited to other installations of the entire db. To my knowledge, there's no way to say "sync these notes with my wife, and these others with my phone only" etc.
Last i looked into it, joplin had a bug which ment syncthing didnt work . Can't remember the details but the solution was pinning an old version.
I am much much happier with markor notes + syncthing.
Super sinple, 100 % foss, sync what you want .
I guess it's been a while then. Syncthing works perfectly for me, with the official latest version in Arch, the older version in Debian, the flatpak on Ubuntu, and the forked version on Android, syncing all my Joplin data all over the place.
I don't much care for the file format though. The appeal of Git Journal is strong.
Syncthing will be discontinued this month. https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002
Syncthing on Android will be discontinued, and there's a fork already, which as I said above, I use.
Oh nice, thanks.
