Currently I’m using Joplin with Syncthing-backed file system synchronization. I’m pretty pleased with it, as I do like tagging- and Markdown-based systems.

I plan to upgrade to server-based synchronization, but before doing that, however, I wanted to see what other people are using.

Edit: So far I see a slight favor towards Joplin and Logseq, but I totally didn’t expect (and appreciate) getting so many different answers.

    I find it interesting that every product from Google/MS/Apple/etc is inherently evil in implications from our community.

    I don’t mind OneNote, and like that it syncs to everything I use. I guess I’ve done IT/Infosec for 20+ years, so I don’t hate everything MS does, just some things :)

      Yeah, my “monster” comment was sarcasm. I’m in the same boat. I’ve been in IT for just as long and most places are Microsoft shops, with a little linux sprinkled in for flavor. I refuse to engage in the holy war. Msft, esp these days, makes decent tools and you can pry PowerShell from my cold dead hands. We use o365 at work and honestly OneNote is a solid product and does the job well.

      For my personal life my note taking requirements are pretty basic and keep/onenote/etc… fits the bill. Esp since I share notes with my wife. But I’m a tinkerer at heart and I’d like to take more control of my services/data, so I’m experimenting with how much I can pull in without making my life overly and unnecessarily complicated.
