I prefer trilium but need an offline first option for mobile notetaking...

Any options?

Thanks for all the alternatives. I’m also asking if there’s anyway to edit trillium on my phone when my server is offline… guess not?

I like Joplin. Works offline and syncs with my Nextcloud.

Also has a lot of backend options and local encryption at the client.

Joplin MD files are not standard and cannot be read easily without Joplin itself.

Obsidian, then do whatever you want with your markdown files.

will_a113@lemmy.ml on 29 Nov 18:53 next collapse

Obsidian or Joplin. Offline first, clients for every platform, and easy self-host (if you want) syncing options and plugins.

100% Obsidian (obsidian.md)

There is a ton of content out there demo’ing Obsidian, but this 10min video is the one that did the trick for me: youtu.be/DbsAQSIKQXk?si=Wm_okygCkRrtqRQa

Obsidian Live Sync plugin is a great combo of self hosted and offline/local.

Absolutely! You can also sync your notes folder/vault by placing them in a connected folder if you’ve already got another cloud sync service

Anytype: Free, open source, offline first, P2P sync, end to end encrypted.

Anytype

Just looked at the iOS app and it has an IAP of £119.00. Put me off completely.

Confuserated@lemmy.world on 30 Nov 22:11 collapse

You only pay if you want to use > 1GB of their cloud storage, which you wouldn’t if you self-hosted it or relied entirely on P2P syncing.

Obsidian? Saves everything in Markdown. It is offline but you can sync things with syncthing. Has a great app on mobile too. I run syncthing on my phone too and sync everything between my devices.

tatterdemalion@programming.dev on 30 Nov 08:15 next collapse

Silverbullet is nice

exception4289@lemmy.world on 30 Nov 16:06 next collapse

Logseq with Syncthing if you want cross device operation.

Cyber@feddit.uk on 01 Dec 01:06 collapse

This. I sync my (markdown) notes between Linux, Windows and Android devices, edit on either device , or even manually manipulate the text files, and all is well.

Shimitar@feddit.it on 01 Dec 13:25 next collapse

I use markor on android (open source) and syncthing to keep my readable MD files synched with my silverbullet self hosted, which is also nice for online editing at the same time.

Beware that Joplin MD files are not standard and cannot be easily read standalone.

ComradeMiao@lemmy.world on 01 Dec 14:50 collapse

Thanks for the other option and letting me know Joplin files are not standard! That’s a big deal to me as that is the main one I was looking at

Shimitar@feddit.it on 01 Dec 17:39 collapse

Its a common misunderstanding. Joplin files are .MD, and somewhere it says its markdown, because indeed Joplin uses markdown even inside the files.

But if you do open those files with any other markdown editor, you find out they are not plain markdown. The text itself is mixed up with other stuff (tags and such) in a non standard way. You notes are not lost and can be recovered, just not by straight open up in another markdown editor.

Nextcloud notes (the separate app) allows you to take notes even when offline.

ComradeMiao@lemmy.world on 01 Dec 17:27 collapse

Unless there is some complete rework this is 100% not true. I lost a month of notes by trusting that app and it syncing them to deletion….

I’m glad it works for you but make backups!

alwayssitting@infosec.pub on 01 Dec 20:28 collapse

I’m not using it personally anymore. And of course you should have automatic backups of notes.

I don’t use Trillium, but I’ve enjoyed Logseq. I use it with nextcloud to back up. It is not browser friendly as far as I know when self hosted. It’s primarily just markdown.
