I still use Tomboy Notes synced with Nextcloud & Dropbox. It's ancient, but I've never come across anything else that does these things:

  • temporary sticky notes.
  • permanent sticky notes.
  • glorified clipboard buffer.
  • personal wiki.
  • light weight (no browser, database, or network required).
  • one small window per note.
  • optional categorization into notebooks.
  • desktop pkeyboard shortcut for searching notes or opening new ones.

I really hate web based notes. I want small quick responsive windows beside my browser.

In the article someone mentioned Upnote (https://getupnote.com/) and it looks very good. Cross platform work sync. 50 notes in the free version and 99 cents a month for premium. Cross platform too.

As for me I wanted a more simple note taking app so I use Notesnook. I'm using the free version but there is a paid version. Includes sync on all versions and is cross platform.

I've been using notesnook for a few weeks. I like it a lot, the native sync support and focus on encryption on the free version is awesome. I wish it had markdown support though.

I just need a note platform that I can feel sure will still be accessible in a few years time. I don't mind paying for a service that's valuable to me but evernote's prices were a bit much and their constant pestering became annoying. I switched to Google keep - which, given that I wanted something that will last, may have been a mistake.

Google Keep is fine. I also use it for short notes which I can access on the go and it's been reliable for years now.

I just don't like the layout of the notes all in squares. I'd prefer the option of a regular compact list view

They shouldn't have started using it in the first place, as it is a proprietary APP that spies on everything the user puts into it.

I like all these open source options. However, are there any for handwriting?
