Best note taking app

[Nerevarine]

Hi,
I want to move to a good note taking app.

1. It should either be free or have fixed fee (no monthly subscription)
2. Sync across Mac, PC and Android must! (3 devices)
3. Online backup.
4. Good user interface (something simple and intuitive). I dont want crap that is one note.
5. It should have markdown support (headings, hyperlinks, images and should be easy to use).

Plan to use it both for work + personal usage.

I am using Apple notes atm and it does its purpose except I dont have access to it on PC or android and it has 20 notes limit. Evernote is OK but free version has a 2 device limit.

Another option is Bear Notes app, I find its UI to be very good. but again its only available for Mac and IOS.

Let me know if you guys know of any good alternative.

Have you tried obsidian Obsidian

It is a free app. You can create .md files and load folder to read. It has apps for android and ios but doesn't have sync in free version . You can manually sync the folders using google drive or one drive and it will open in phone. I tried their android app.
It takes some time to setup but i feel it is ok.

I setup this to store some information but later moved to owing a domain and stored everything in git and in phone viewing from static website.

Also have you tried notion Notion for Personal Use

Not a heavy note taker, but google notes works for me via app on phone & browser on PC.

wow joplin is fantastic, simple and effective. Also can sync to my NAS, or my dropbox and onedrive.

 

[Nerevarine]

I am trying Joplin, I love the user interface and I almost am ready to adopt it full time but I found a major issue. The sync is extremely slow, especially if you use multiple devices. And it doesnt intelligently resolve conflicts.

I just wanted to give a quick FYI. I have successfully transitioned to joplin and it has been invaluable to me in keeping notes. thanks so much. everyone.

Id also recommend you guys to develop a habit of taking notes (especially for work)

 

[Zangetsu]

Yup, a note will always be like Diary which you can always go back and refer (in case you forget something)

Free or Paid ?

 

[Nerevarine]

Free or Paid ?

Free ofcourse, 5 GB is enough for notes.
I got a nice deal with office365 subscription thanks to @whitestar_999, so thats 6 TB for other data usage.
