Looking for an app for note-taking with the following features:

  • No ads ever
  • No nudges to upgrade, subscribe, unlock premium features, or any bullshit like that.
  • No recurring fee (ok paying up-front for the app)
  • Clean, simple interface

That’s it. I don’t need multimedia, multi-device syncing, cloud storage. I just need a place to write down ideas and grocery lists.

Recommendations?

    There is Google Keep.

    But if you want to degoogle, well I’m reading the thread. I’ve heard of Joplin (spelling?).

      I like quillpad from f-droid as my Google keep alternative. Pretty identical to keep aside from the online syncing.

        I see quillpad has Nextcloud syncing. This is a good start. And I think it’s possible to sync using Syncthing too.

          I really need to go and get syncthing setup. Been meaning to in order to sync Steam Deck saves to my PC.

      Not an app, and I haven’t really used it, but tinylist feels quite Google Keepy. You can add it to your home screen, but it doesn’t seem to work offline.
