Half a year ago I stumbled upon two notetaking tools of which one improved my life’s quality, so I thought I share my experience with the community. I’m not sponsored by either of these projects.

Both of these tools are powerful extendable markdown editors with a daily journal, calender function, TODO list and a knowledge base similar to a Wiki. Every page or block can be crosslinked, referenced or embedded. That way, I can keep an overview over my daily tasks with all necessary information directly accessible.

The one tool I use daily now, is Logseq. I synchronize my notes among all my devices via git. Works great under Linux, but I needed to install termux on Android. They are working on a sync service for logseq, which should make it more interesting for most users. There is one caveat though: It’s not on Google’s PlayStore, nor on f-droid.

The other similar tool, which I can recommend because it is more easily available, is Obsidian. The company also offers a sync service for premium users. I found one missing feature which is more a niche, but still a bummer: Code blocks cannot be indented.

What do you think? Do you use similar - maybe even better - note taking tools?

    Hey if you haven’t yet I highly suggest you check out Red Gregory’s videos if you’d like to go in-depth with Notion. Great place to start out with especially since she’s a community ambassador.

    If you ever feel brave enough later down the line I’d also suggest installing notion-enhancer which brings in additional features and workflow improvements (once it gets a fix)
