Obsidian
TextEdit.
Joplin
Obsidian
I self host nextcloud. I use the nextcloid apponb mobile and ioota on desktop. Joplin works too
Obsidian with git
Obsidian, if you don’t mind a little setup you can use the self hosted sync
Evernote. But two of the things you’re asking for don’t make any sense to me…
You just described Obsidian!! Nice!! You can use it with Dropbox. https://obsidian.md/
Logseq plus syncthing
Completely self hosted. Sometimes quite basic, but the freedom is worth it.
Seconding this, I use LogSeq at work with notes tracked in a git repo with GitCrypt. Works really well.
GitCrypt enables me to share my pages but keep journals private.
Standard Note
Joplin - encrypted
Obsidian. It's not fully open source but at least your notes are in an open format
Logseq + Syncthing self-hosted
Check out Obsidian https://obsidian.md/ along with the Nostr-Writer plug-in.
Obsidian really is the best option. You can sync with a private git repo but IMO paying for sync is money well spent, the product works perfectly.
vim
Standard Notes
Assuming you want open source for your private notes, then NotesNook and StandardNotes (premium SN is not open) are great options. Personally I prefer SN.
If you already use vim/nvim, then continue using and sync with SyncThing which works perfectly. Only downside is for phone you have to use a different text editor such as Markor.
Obsidian is very slick, high functionality and seamless, BUT it is not open source, so I wouldn't want my private notes in there.
Standard Notes
Standard notes 🤟💜🤝
I use standard notes.
notesnook
obsidian has terrible interface on umbrel
joplin - encrypted - stored on self hosted nextcloud
Standard Notes
evernote
I have a few, those being Standard Notes, Logseq and Notesnook.
Started on Standard Notes, but wanted more “functionality”. I tried to run logseq for a while. The mobile app was too restrictive. Tried obsidian and it didn’t work well for me. Eventually landed back on Standard Notes
Joplin, plus self-hosted web server. Is open-source, even the server code (you can also use dropbox etc.).
Covers all your needs, plus it even supports e2ee.
Word
Alternatively use a chat program that allows msg to yourself, like saved msg on tg.
Obsidian + syncthing.
Not sure how to do it conflict free.
