Hello! I’m still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I’ll try to ask you then.

I’m looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

  • richtext/WYSIWYG (i don’t want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
  • it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don’t want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
  • FOSS and active

The one I’m currently using is obsidian, but it’s not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

Any suggestion is welcome!

EDIT: forgot to mention, I’m talking about Android XD

    Notesnook is quite nice, though it has like cloud sync. May put you off a bit if you don’t want that. But the android app is quite nice regardless

      This is actually pretty nice, it checks all my conditions. I’m trying to understand where the notes are stored on the device, as I’d prefer to use synching to sync my notes on my devices

      Thanks for the reality good suggestion!!!

        It uses an internal db from my understanding, not the filesystem. I think? (haven’t checked recently) it’s possible to self host the sync server if that’s your thing. You could also do regular backups (these are automated) as a workaround way of manual syncing I guess.

          uh, that’s a shame. I think I’ll settle with this one for now, but if I’ll find an alternative that can store notes as plain text I’ll switch
