I am using Standard Notes currently but I don’t want to pay 10$/month.

Edit: Guys thank you all for your suggestions. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a one-size-fits-all approach like Google Keep or Apple Notes. I realized that we really dont have much choice as an open source community. They either don’t look polished or come at a higher price than I want to pay. Oh and if I see another electron app I am going to scream.

I decided to close my Standard Notes account and started using Gnome Text Editor (it does more than you think) with Syncthing. I am using Markor on my Android end. But it is not really a reliable solution since Syncthing consumes more battery than your average notes app and its GTK client is cumbersome. So even though my quest will continue, I am done for now.

    My enterprise-grade notes setup:

    mkdir ~/Documents/Notes
cd ~/Documents/Notes
$EDITOR name_of_note.txt

    For lecture notes, I do this:

    $EDITOR "$(date +'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:z').md"

    I don’t actually type out commands like these; I have alises for them. I sync my notes with git, so I don’t have to learn another tool just for notes.
