Pro tips, ty! I was hoping for something mobile friendly but this will definitely help!

Maybe safe is the wrong word in my post. I mean keeping the data safe from meta in the respect that I don’t want them to have it. Their record in data privacy is not so great so I’m keen to keep my data away from Meta if I can.

Game changer!

+1 for notesnook, self hosting coming soon

You’re right! I missed it somehow

I also tried Joplin and while it’s great while using it, there’s no background sync and never will be. That’s a huge pain when you’re mobile and need to get at your notes but have little or no signal.

I’ve been getting on well with notesnook, the self hosting is in beta right now but its just a docker container. Docs are coming for self hosting in the near future.

The criteria for me when I was looking for a notes app were:

• self hosted
• e2e encrypted
• supports images and other rich media as well as text
• can use markdown for text formatting
• supports mobile as well as some desktop interface
• can make lists with checkable boxes
• background sync

Notesnook hits all of these. I wish it had a dedicated desktop app but that’s something I can just use a browser window for.

I owned an original puma, such a wonderful car. Then the new monstrosity arrived :( sad times
