Logseq. Have used it for years. Sync across devices via syncthing. Since its all markdown files there should be no issues.

Need to restore? Copy files to new location, point the program at the new folder and you're good to go.

I tried SilverBullet and it was really good and really neat, but not for me. Now I’m using Obsidian, which is easy enough to self host, but the company that makes it is small and indie and I decided to support them with a subscription.

I also switched to Asahi Linux 5 months ago. After decades of being an Apple fan, they are most unappealing these days.

Joplin

why would you host anything? that's just an app. QOwnNotes (stupidest name ever) stores .MD files that you can syncthing, rsync, copy, edit externally, whatever, allowing you never to be locked-in again. all the toolboxes can be turned off, netting you a UI that looks like apple's notes.

Try Flatnotes.

SNotepad + Syncthing

I’ve liked using standard notes.

I use Memos. It doesn't use a flat file structure, but it does just use a SQLite database file. You can open it in any SQLite browser to read your notes, or copy it somewhere for backups.

Some CalDav servers also do notes. As others have noted, Joplin has a self-hosted option. If you're willing to go with a service, Obsidian is .md based and multiplatform.

Have a look at tasks md. https://github.com/BaldissaraMatheus/Tasks.md

Do you think your boy Pichai isn't licking boots? He sat right next to Tim Apple at the inauguration.
