I’ve gone handwritten, obsidian, onenote, and now Trilium. Considering switching to something else because there is no offline mobile support.
I use memos and trilium together but since neither offers mobile offline support considering switching both. No reason to run two services when I could run one.
Considering:
- Joplin
- Logseq
- SiYuan
- ?
Obsidian with paid sync feature. Have obsidian on multiple computers and devices and don’t have to deal with setup or management of the sync process.
Obsidian with syncthing works offline.
I use text files and grep
Yeah, haha. 😂
Wait a moment… 🤔
Obsidian with syncthing for syncing between my phone and PC.
Yup. It’s a shame they don’t natively support cloud solutions like iCloud, which is what leads to workarounds like syncthing. It’s because they want to push their paid cloud option instead. But I also recognize that iCloud and their cloud hosting isn’t self-hosted, so it wouldn’t really fit here.
This is what I’m using and I haven’t found any reason to switch yet.
Obsidian with synchronization to my Nextcloud instance
Mostly just copious amounts of “new tab” in notepad++
Logseq!
Emacs. Org. Mode.
Use Orgzly Revived for mobile sharing.
Joplin synched with syncthing (or Synchthing.fork on android).
I do the same, but I’ve run into a bottleneck where Joplin syncs encrypted notes really, really slowly to local storage. So looking to switch to hosted Joplin server
I’m using https://anytype.io/. Offline applications for all major systems, synchronization out of the box.
I’ve been using this, as well. They default to hosting your “vault.” It does peer-to-peer syncing, if you don’t want to have a server involved at all. I’m running their self-hosted server, but that’s only after I decided that AnyType was what I was looking for. I really like that it’s object based, so you can create templates for things like meetings that are their own type, separate from a bog-standard page.
How was setting up the server? I’m on my phone right now so so I’ll check out the docs later but were there any problems deploying?
A little rough, to be honest. It’s a docker-compose deployment, but it requires you to run
make
to deploy it. The makefile does extra configuration and such to allow the containers to come up healthy. It works, but it’s overcomplicated and styled after their own deployments, so probably way more compute than what is needed for one household.Oh and because of this protracted topology, it’s tough to hide behind a reverse proxy.
TXT files I sync with syncthing.
Use amaze file manager built in txt editor on android and vim on desktop.
- Mobile: Nextcloud Notes
- Desktop: Qownnotes or vim
- Server: Nextcloud (+Qownnotes addon)
Much better solution than Joplin, no database or cryptic file names, just plain markdown files on every device you can imagine. Simple and future proof.
Nextcloud notes, it gets the job done 👍
Joplin on a docker macvlan thru NGNIX proximanager via some proxied website name from cloud flare. My phone goes to the mynotes.website.com name, it gets proxied to my IP, the traffic hits my NGNIX server, then it tosses it to Joplin. Lol it works.
I use Logseq in my PC and my phone and I unse Syncthing to sync the notes accross my devices.
