Looking for an app for note-taking with the following features:
- No ads ever
- No nudges to upgrade, subscribe, unlock premium features, or any bullshit like that.
- No recurring fee (ok paying up-front for the app)
- Clean, simple interface
That’s it. I don’t need multimedia, multi-device syncing, cloud storage. I just need a place to write down ideas and grocery lists.
Recommendations?

Markor. It’s as simple as it gets, but can scale up if you decide to later
Obsidian
- text files stored in markdown on your device
- no premium service to unlock features. You can buy sync and publishing if you want to, but there are no nags to purchase them.
- you can roll your own sync solution you wanted to. Its just text files. Same goes with publishing.
- community plugins if you want to extend it
- desktop clients and ios clients
- free forever
I found Obsidian good, and Markor the best, on Android.
There is Google Keep.
But if you want to degoogle, well I’m reading the thread. I’ve heard of Joplin (spelling?).
I like quillpad from f-droid as my Google keep alternative. Pretty identical to keep aside from the online syncing.
I see quillpad has Nextcloud syncing. This is a good start. And I think it’s possible to sync using Syncthing too.
