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
Have you already tried Zettel Notes? It is FOSS, active and has everything you mentioned.
I just downloaded it, the UI is pretty neat, but it is not actually richtext, just plaintext with the “view” button to view the formatted output (readonly). Is there a setting I missed to change this behavior?
thanks for the suggestion!
I missed the point about richtext. sorry. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of such a setting.
seems interesting, but I can’t find the “checkbox” feature in the list :(
Just use Simplenote.
I just downloaded it and it won’t make me use the app without an account… This is not a good start
It’s a fairly normal start, and “must not force you to use an account” wasn’t listed in your set of requirements. The account is because the app supports completely free syncing across multiple mobile and desktop platforms. Just use any throwaway google account or create a new one just for the purpose. No subscription and it is FOSS.
Looks cool, but does not appear to be FOSS, please correct me if I’m wrong.
I have no idea. I wanted a standalone alternative to Google Keep on one of my lesser used devices and this did the job.
Bought the license and it does what I need, plus it synchs to my encrypted storage on pCloud.
