Hey, I'm looking for a note app to replace notion. The main features I'm looking for are the ability to have different notebooks (or folders), the ability to have notes available offline(something I recently realized notion does not do), the ability so search in notes for words or phrases, and preferably a sync feature to backup notes to a desktop or another device. If anyone has any reccomendations I'd love to hear they and give them a try. Thanks!

I have used Nextcloud notes, Obsidean, Onenote, Logseq and Anytype. Anytype is my favorite so far. It's open source, sync is E2E using IPFS, and Anytype also backs up your notes and 1GB of files on their infrastructure for free.

Anytype has no backlinks, and the UI is very mouse dependant. I'm hopeful anytype will add a bunch of much needed features eventually, but right now its a pretty constrained system.

thanks for the recommendation, ive been playing around few of the option but this seems like the one that will work best for me. it was easy to set up on both my desktop and phone and seems to have all the functionality i need

I'm using Joplin and I'm quite happy with it :)

[–] ser@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Seconded. Joplin is full featured, has sync and FOSS.

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Look into Joplin :) its also opensource and you can selfhost it :)

By far, Noto

[–] iamak@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Quillpad is nice. I've been using it for about a year now. It satisfies all the 4 requirements as well.

[–] kramed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I make good use of OneNote by Microsoft which syncs with the desktop version. I don't think you need to be a M365 user to use any of the features.

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I really like UpNote, pretty simple but it’s fast and has enough features to make it reasonably powerful (altho much less so than Notion)

[–] IronRain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

My favorite notes app has been UpNote. Has most of what you're looking for. Folders (and subfolders), cross device syncing, cross-platform, offline access, and search. It's also smoother than it's closest comparison, Zoho Notes and OneNote, each of which had stutters and microlags when I used them, especially as you accumulate more notes. There's also a lifetime purchase if you don't like subscriptions.

Appflowy is a FOSS alternative to Notion if you want something closer to home

[–] eduardo@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Obsidian.md, but the sync feature is paid

[–] marshell@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I love Noteless as my note taking app as it also supports markdown. Sync is via Syncthing.
