  1. I'm looking for recommendations for good, reasonably priced note-taking apps. A must-have feature is web clipping, both as a browser plug in and on Android.

    I've been using Evernote for years, but they are more than doubling their fees in January 2026. So I need to switch.

    So. Suggestions, anyone?

    Thanks.

  7. Evernote is forcing a decision on me

    As a creature of app habit, I’ve kept paying for Evernote even as the rates for my note-taking app of choice have increased considerably–mainly because the new management at that service has improved it tremendously. But now that Evernote’s corporate parent Bending Spoons has discontinued my $129.99/year Personal plan and presented me with a choice between a $99.99/year Starter plan that seems clearly inadequate and a $249.99/year Advanced plan that brings more than I need, I need to rethink that habit.

    That 92% rate increase itself requires reconsideration, but it’s not the only thing. There’s the odds of a company on a venture-capital-fueled spending spree that somehow incluces buying AOL will see fit to jack up the annual rate again; I also have to assess whether Evernote’s bosses might make it harder to take my data out of the app that I’ve used since 2010.

    But looking over such other note-taking app options as OneNote, Joplin, and Notion while comparing their features, I don’t see an obvious escape pod.

    These are my priorities in this indecision-making process, in rough order of descending importance:

    • Cross-platform support–macOS, Windows, Android, iOS–is not negotiable, which is why I didn’t mention Apple Notes above.
    • I need any other app to import my Evernote archives no less than one notebook at a time; that seems to rule out Microsoft’s OneNote, even though I pay for it as part of my Microsoft 365 subscription.
    • I need reliable synchronization, ideally the almost real-time sync that Evernote now does so well. That may be the thing I need to trade to shave all or part of $250 a year from my online-services budget.
    • Yearly cost below this year’s $129.99.
    • Offline support, because I know how well CES WiFi works.
    • Voice transcription for recording interviews, which I’ve come to rely on over the past year.
    • Text recognition from a photo of a business card, so I can look up the details of somebody I met without adding them to my contacts list.
    • Robust export options so I don’t get stuck in another company’s silo.
    • The option of encrypting at least some notes on an end-to-end basis.
    • A long-term focus from the app’s developers–why I don’t consider Google Keep, since Google introducing that a week after killiing Google Reader still leaves me with trust issues beyond my trying to reduce the number of single points of failure in my digital life.

    Looking over this and comparing it to the research I’ve done so far, I think this makes me look like a Joplin user. Unless the lag that open-source app cites–the most frequent sync interval it allows for the OneDrive cloud storage I already pay for is every five minutes–instead makes me look like somebody who should suck up the extra cost of Evernote, considering what a small fraction it is of my other operating costs

    I wish this choice were clearer. I also wish that I didn’t have to figure this out at the peak cognitive-load period of my year.

  24. I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

    Hardware & OS

    Infrastructure & Networking

    Security & Monitoring

    Authentication & Identity Management

    • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
    • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
      #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

    Productivity & Personal Tools

    Notifications & Development Workflow

    • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
    • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

    Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

    Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

    I've also experimented with:

    • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
    • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

    I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

    What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

    What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

  28. I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

    Hardware & OS

    Infrastructure & Networking

    Security & Monitoring

    Authentication & Identity Management

    • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
    • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
      #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

    Productivity & Personal Tools

    Notifications & Development Workflow

    • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
    • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

    Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

    Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

    I've also experimented with:

    • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
    • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

  29. Eu estava a um tempo de olho no LogSeq, vendo videos, lendo artigos, mas ainda estava naquela fase de "será que eu entendi o suficiente pra começar a usar?"
    Essa semana depois de uma reunião com meu diretor, em que eu tive que fazer diversas anotações e saí com vários ToDos, decidi "passar a limpo" minhas notas para o LogSeq.
    Por hora usei ele por 3 dias, e tenho que admitir, é *INCRÍVEL*….

  34. Meet Paper, a New GTK Note Taking App for Linux

    If you’re seeking out a note taking app for Linux you’ll want to check out Paper. Paper is a modern GTK app that pitches itself as a ‘pretty note-taking app for GNOME’ — it is! Being based around Markdown also means this app can do everything essential when writing notes, such as text formatting, adding links, highlighting sections of text, inserting code blocks, and more. Now, I class myself as more of a casual note taker. I use apps like this to squirrel away ideas I have for future posts, commands I ought to remember, and …Well, lists of He-Man :sys_more_orange:

  35. ‘Rnote’ is an Impressive Freehand Note Taking App Built in Rust & GTK4

    Rnote is a seriously impressive freehand note taking app written in Rust and GTK4. I came across it on Flathub this week and, within seconds of installing it, I knew I had to give it a bit of a spotlight. If you’ve got a laptop with a stylus or touch-enabled screen and you use GNOME Shell you have to try it out. Rnote is billed by its developer as a “simple note taking application written in Rust and GTK4”. I spent about 20 minutes playing around with it (albeit with a mouse as primary input) and it’s really quite polished :sys_more_orange:

  36. #ObsidianMD actually changes my #wayofthinking by making me write down absolutely every thought and piece of information that i might need sometime. Not only will it contain most of my #knowledge, but it also make it so easy to find, when needed.
    Never had anything even slightly as useful as #Obsidian.

  37. I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an #OpenSource #PersonalKnowledgeManagement software. 🐰

    I'm gonna give a second try to @zettlr tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure #CommonMark where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of #TeXLaTeX, #MermaidJS, and pop-over #footnotes. Provision of the simple #PDF export and #Pandoc customization are welcome, too!

    But, to be fair, I may be overexaggerating how good #Zettlr is because of my recent disgust with #VendorLocking. In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is #FreeSoftware might suffice already. Having something as advanced and closer to the roots is certainly refreshing!

  38. It's taken me some time to figure it out, as I found it confusing initially, but I am now enjoying using the #anytype note taking app. Offline and local first, fully compatible across devices, supports markdown and keeps notes and files in the same place. Worth a look at anytype.io

  39. Being #ADHD, I collect note taking apps. My favorite was Evernote, but as with all good things tech, it eventually went downhill. The phone app crashed constantly, they limited the number of devices..it just sucked.

    I used Google Keep, OneNote, Simplenote, and could
    not get my head around Notion. Recently, I found a thread on #beehaw looking for a OneNote replacement. One of the suggestions was #Notesnook.

    Holy sheet! It's Evernote, but better! E2E encryption, zero knowledge policy great phone app.....

    I. SO. HAPPY.
