    I’m still looking for my Evernote replacement, personally, even though I stopped using them a while back.

    Ive been using Obsidian for months but sadly…it is not the replacement.

      I like Joplin. It’s not a full replacement for Evernote, most notably lacking handwriting (though there is a plug-in for windows and one on the way for android beta), but it is pretty nice when syncing with syncthing!

        I have considered both Joplin and Obsidian as Evernote replacements, but what I liked the most about Evernote was its sync feature, I know Syncthing is a thing, but would I be able to have my syncing working fine between Android, iOS and macOS?

        I tend to change my custom ROM often as well, and if I had to redo my Android setup (with Evernote I just re logged in) it wont be very good as well, I use Swift backup though.

          I am syncing between two laptops, a phone, a tablet and nvidia shield (not for Joplin on the shield lol, just files). The only issue with Syncthing is that it sometimes gets battery optimized by Samsung despite everything I have tried to get it to stay foregrounded. But as soon as I open Syncthing it syncs instantly since markdown files are so small. Then Joplin can pull from the local files. I have it set to be encrypted so it takes a little longer to import than it would otherwise. For Joplin, now that it has automatic system dark mode it is almost perfect. The only thing I’d prefer was a better tablet UI with a paned view. Other than that I am content! They also have OCR in the betas, which gets it a little closer to being an Evernote premium replacement. It is impressive what they’ve added despite being a nonprofit open-source project made by volunteers
