Hello! I’m still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I’ll try to ask you then.

I’m looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

  • richtext/WYSIWYG (i don’t want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
  • it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don’t want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
  • FOSS and active

The one I’m currently using is obsidian, but it’s not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

Any suggestion is welcome!

EDIT: forgot to mention, I’m talking about Android XD

    It uses an internal db from my understanding, not the filesystem. I think? (haven’t checked recently) it’s possible to self host the sync server if that’s your thing. You could also do regular backups (these are automated) as a workaround way of manual syncing I guess.

      uh, that’s a shame. I think I’ll settle with this one for now, but if I’ll find an alternative that can store notes as plain text I’ll switch
