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.

Emacs + org-mode for task planning and knowledge base, Obsidian + Syncthing for notes on-the-go.

Holy crap I didn’t know Syncthing existed and just realized it’s perfect for my use case (taking D&D notes and keeping them on multiple devices). Thanks for the useful comment!

You are welcome! :)

Chiming in with my org mode setup as well:

  • Keep notes on my NAS
  • Mount NFS share with notes on desktop and edit with Emacs
  • Create a WebDAV share of the notes (so shared both using nfs and webdav). Use the Android “Orgzly Revived” app from F-droid and log into the webdav share

I used to use Syncthing to avoid having both NFS and Webdav but it didnt sync
