If I don’t write it down I forget! I’m using one note but it’s fiddly and not great. Anyone know a good note taking app? Gotta be free!

      This is what I use! I like that it’s privacy-focused, and syncs across my devices. I paid for premium for the extra little bits, but the free version is quite good too.

    I use both Obsidian and Joplin. Obsidian for me works as a personal knowledge manager and Joplin for reference stuff. I used to just use Joplin but Obsidian is much more powerful for linking everything together in a zettlekasten way.

    I really like the featureset of Trillium, specifically Trillium next, but frankly have not gotten around to setting up on my server, as the mobile app cannot work without a sync server ( to the best of my knowledge ). Coming from Obsidian, I wanted true FOSS and a better way to sync, but turns out it contains essentially all the features I relied on Obsidian plugins for. I could update you once I get around to it, as I think it’s a little too soon to make judgement

    I use Apostrophe markdown editor. It’s basically a plaintext editor with Markdown syntax highlighting and a rendered preview mode. It is the same formatting language you can use for posts and comments on Lemmy (and the other place).

    Honestly, I’m just obsessed with Markdown. You can write it anywhere you can type. It’s just structured plaintext that you can easily convert to other formats (html, odf, pdf, etc.) Write it in Notepad. Use it text messages. Put it on Facebook. There is no native support for the format in any of these places, and it doesn’t matter.

    I do all my writing in Markdown now. It keeps me focused on my document content and structure.

    Obsidian Notes. Been a staple of my note taking for a year now, migrated from OneNote. Very few FOSS note programs come close to OneNote.

    I use Joplin across my android phone and Linux laptops, and then use Syncthing to sync the notes between my devices. Both opensource and both locally synced.

    I reallly like Trilian, but if you’re looking for something to help your memory, a physical pocket notebook can’t be beat. I highly recommend keeping one on hand.

    I use vscode (vscodium actually) for my daily tasks, so I use it to keep notes as well. I started using Dendron for a bit of note management, and I push them to my git server from time to time.
