Yes, I know that the are dozens of notes apps. I’m looking for recommendations based on a few features that I like:

  • nice design (including color coding)
  • easy checklists
  • sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.
  • pinning and archiving (hidden notes)

I don’t mind running it from my homelab server, but that is not a requirement. Does anyone use a notes app that you love? Let me know!

I also found a fork called NotallyX, which includes import functions from Keep and Evernote. Pretty useful for someone migrating.

  • amount of backups to keep

also is a nice addition but i like the fact that notally is just 1.9mb. So i keep using notally and delete a dozen backups from time to time :/

yeah, just looking through the notes, it looks like both devs care a lot about their project and just have different visions for what a “Complete” notes app should look like. It’s nice to see, because sometimes when you see a fork of a project it’s because someone abandoned it or there is some kind of community drama, but that doesn’t seem to be the case afaik.
