    Joplin is solid and gets the job done. I was fine with it as a OneNote alternative but once I tried out Obsidian I understood immediately what all the hype is about Obsidian. Using links instead of the standard folder structure is much more intuitive and functional for me. I highly recommend Obsidian even though it isn’t FOSS, since they have a pretty good ethos on not being locked into specific apps, and all the notes are stored in text files so you could easily migrate in the future if you change your mind about Obsidian or if they as a company do something questionable.

    I’ve heard of Logseq as a FOSS alternative to Obsidian and would consider looking into that too.

      Fancy meeting you here brother. Ready for our next battle?

      Yep, me too.

      When I stepped into my current job Logseq literally saved me from going mad / burnout.

      A few years in though and the (lack of) Todo management is causing me trouble as the tasks still slip through my fingers…

    There’s Anytype, which is similar to Notion.

    You can set it up to sync over lan only, with your own server, or with their servers. It’s E2E encryption

          Look at the license file. They are using their own custom license. Being made available on github doesn’t make it is open source. Anytype could be considered ‘source available’.

          (I specified this just because OP asked for open source. I contribute sometimes to foss apps, and it bothers me that the term foss get misinterpreted. It’s not you, even most companies don’t know the right terms to be considered foss. If you look up anytype on wayback machine, they used to proudly claim they were foss lol)

    As others mentioned, Joplin is a solid option (with lots of plugins too). Notesnook too is good (if you’re willing to pay a subscription). If you are willing to wait a bit, there’s Beaver Notes. Currently they are working on syncing between devices and a new mobile client.

    Quillpad

    It is supposed to have a sync option but I don’t care about that.

    I used Joplin for a while and liked it for literature notes. Currently I use obsidian, but as I also use that for pen&paper notes I am thinking of going back to Joplin for academic stuff.
