Obsidian is awesome, you can customize is so much, you can make it look like notepad or a plane cockpit. And with the power of plugins you can handwrite as well
Obsidian is awesome. Live Markdown preview (not side 2 side, but literally live while typing) and full vim keybindings. Notes are stored in plain markdown as well, which is huge.
@@matthias2447 Yes, the best part is the fact that all your notes are stored like very normal markdown files, without any weird just works on this app and good luck finding the files in your file manager way. You can literally do anything with them, sync them the way you want, or even encrypt them the way you want. Like my phone is ancient, so obsidian is always laggy and I can basically use a simpler, less laggy app on my phone all while syncing.
yes; and for sync I just use git repos for my vaults, so after I update, I just commit to the repo and I even have version controlled, synced notes. Really nice app indeed.
I can confirm that it's the best note taking app that I've ever used. It's customizable, straightforward and uses plain markdown to store notes which is a future proof format. The only downside is that it's not open source but somehow I trust it does not do any spooky stuff.
i know one,its a bit obscure,but its a GNU program known as GNU emacs,the ORG(anization) mode happens to be very feature filled,it comes with both native gtk and terminal modes
A key thing to consider when selecting a note taking app is the format in which it saves the notes. Ideally, you'll want something that is interoperable with everything else and will always work no matter what the platform.. so if you decide to use another app you can move very easily. This means that text is the ideal format, and apps like Joplin store notes in Markdown, which is just a nice way of formatting text files.
That's what I like personally. A little formatting is nice, but pretty quickly, I find myself spending more time formatting than writing. Most of the time, whitespace (blank lines and indention) is enough to present a clear structure for me, although tables are necessary from time to time.
@@Klffsj I still miss the linking features so I can't just go all text file, plus sometimes I want to insert an image. So I just use Obsidian because that's the only markdown editor which has similar interface on mobile and it doesn't drive me up the wall :-) And I use Syncthing to sync these notes between my devices.
@@negirno That's understandable. I don't insert pictures as much as I should. And, a lot of times, plain text editors will still link hypertext links by default. (Or are you referring to tags, where you can link to other notes?) I still don't have my Linux PC fully built, so I haven't decided on a solution for file sharing, cloud, syncing, and backups yet. I'm installing on ZFS, which supports very efficient file syncing abilities. So, I'd like to make use of that when I can. Nick stated in replies to other comments that he'll be covering Obsidian in a different video, so I'll be looking forward to that. I haven't heard of it before, but I've seen a lot of recommendations for it in the comments.
Gotta say, personally I personally really like microsoft's note app. I don't use it anymore because I don't use windows primarily. But to me it's just so handy and convenient that notes are actual "notes" on desktop. I mean that's what notes are supposed to be, it's something temporary you can easily notice.
Linux Mint's "Sticky" app does this quite nicely, you might want to see if you can install it on your distro. There are probably other applications that do this too, though.
That was a huge miss in this video when nick didn't mention this plus Joplin details the process to sync very well and only takes like. 5 minutes to do
The new studio looks clean! I'll miss the cabinet :) Thank you for doing the research, the linux youtuber scene needs more people promoting simple apps that are designed to handle everyday tasks.
Really good video, thanks! Personally, since I tend to switch note taking apps a lot (I like trying new things) and having the need for something that works cross platform (linux desktop, windows laptop), I decided to use plain markdown files (and for now I edit them with Marktext which supports opening the folder with all my notes, and also important it looks good) and use syncthing to sync the notes in my local network, since I don't really need to use cloud storage! I can say that this solution, if you want to keep everything in your local network, works really well.
Didn't the page with sync services on Joplin show some small text at the bottom that it supports Nextcloud, WebDAV, etc? I was kinda confused what you meant when you said it doesn't support it...
The new set looks very refreshing! I didn't know about Joplin, and the workflow seems similiar to what I currently do with VSCode ^^ Have you considered a video about Mail clients?

Joplin honestly changed my life for worldbuilding. 4:09 on that note, Joplin can do a 1 screen thing. I think they just default to 2 screens so people can see the markdown 9:07 Oh, btw, Joplin also has a plugin to quickly interconnect notes, it is not as good as Obsidian when you throw some graphical web, but it does the trick.

The GPU electron issue is common with RPM distros. I had that issue with the RPM version of Discord, and i had to add the --no-sandbox flag when running the app
Thanks a lot for this summary. I've been using Joplin for notes that I want to keep for future reference, like a Wiki type of thing. But I like Notejot for keeping short term notes that I delete once I don't need them anymore. It works and looks pretty nice for this purpose I have to say, although the UI is a bit unintuitive at first :D
Nice re decoration !!! Previous minimalistic style was ok but it is cold and put some distance to the audience, I think this is much more better, also congratz for the black shirt ! I've always wondering, Nick has to change his shirts to black !!! Now you did it, excelente ! Greetings from Argentina and thans for your videos and podcasts !
I personally wouldn't consider this a complete list without Obsidian. I'd consider it the easiest note taking apps to get into for anyone just wanting a minimalist, no distractions note taking app. with that said however, backlinks and hashtags can be used to turn the app into a personal wiki of networked information. edit: the only downside is the devs wont consider making it FOSS because its just not viable from a development standpoint
My first note taking application was tomboy. Now I wrote my owe script to piggy back onto fzf and called it sn for simple notes. fzf has window panes. I used that to peek a small clip of my notes to find notes much quicker. If it gets to large I have fzf that can help me out there. I'm using micro as my text editor, piggy backing on fzf. My notes are place in a Note folder as .md files. Hit one key bring up my notes, jot down my notes. Hit one key and back where I was without skipping a beat. Pop in, push away. Quick note taking, easy to find, quick to open the right notes. And always out of my way. Never lost my spot or my concentration while working and taking quick notes when need to.
After years of trying I chose to use txt files saved on cloud. Software agnostic and pretty strong method. Also, none of these works on Raspberry I think (I could be wrong on this).
If you have a Synology NAS I would recommend trying DS Note. It runs on Linux natively as well as Windows, Mac and mobile, also has a web interface and all the data is stored on your own NAS so you control the data.
I will really miss the Onenote desktop experience - and the sync and pen taking from all other devices too. No need for markdown, just.. note stuff. Even from this review, none quite make the comparitive cut except maybe Evernote.
Am I the only one who hardly ever takes notes on their laptop/PC? I honestly don't even remember the last time I did. If I ever needed to take a note, I'd do it on my phone, as Samsung Notes is more than enough for my very simple needs, the sPen functionality is a plus, too, there.
I need to take notes all the time, whether I'm jotting down thoughts at work or trying to plan something at home. Part of this is that I can type way faster on a physical keyboard. And, it's nice being able to move content around in a way that you can't with pencil and paper.
*Gnote* - my choise. It is super fast for note taking. My way was OneNote, then Paper, then CherryTree and now this app. Love it, espeсially with plugins. One minus - it supports text only, you can't insert pictures in it.
awsome! I will check out qownnotes :) I currently use notion and I never had problems with it. But I only use it for notes and todos, and for this purpose I dont need all the (incredible versatile) features of notion. My concern with notion was always privacy. It felt strange to put sensitive and or private stuff in it. Thank you so much for introducing us into qownnotes! It looks very promising and EXACTLY what i am looking for: private, secure, fantastic integration in KDE, super lightwight - just brillant. And development activity seems high. Most note taking apps are electron based, for just note taking it seems really like a waste of system ressources. I like to have a lot of different "sheets" open, where i put my ideas, thoughts, to dos, questions in. So a truly native app makes sense.
OneNote and a good Andriod emulator for gaming are what's keeping me on Windows. Will look at these. Still need a gaming emulator, e.g. Nox, Bluestacks
Hi!! There is a new Linux native GTK open-source note-taking app called TECHNENOTES (which I am actively developing). Although there are multiple amazing note-taking app out there, I do think that TechneNotes has some strong points, starting from the database-like interface (with pagination, ordering, filtering, all combined with a treeview structure), the safety of local data storage with optional cloud sync (users choose if and how to sync data over the cloud), multi-tabs support with full-width note view, integration of text/files/images/videos as in a web-page, interconnected notes, standard markdown syntax (for cross-compatibility), and - most of all - its native (Gtk) and open source nature (thus ensuring that your notes will be fully accessible in the future, with no risk of vendor lock-in)
4:23 Add --disable-gpu-sandbox flag. This is an issue on Fedora 35 for apps using some older versions of Electron. Happened to me with Etcher and Mailspring.
I miss the look of the old studio (it looks like the kitchen) but this setup looks more practical. Need to relocate the paper notes you had on the wall!
I think he was looking at formatted note taking software specifically. There are a ton of quality plain text editors out there, and I personally don't think they're worth spending a video on.
Came in because I'm always interested in lists of software that can be used like 'external brains'. Amusingly, your oblique reference to Obsidian is the first I've heard of that, and now I'm looking into that.
Notion is barely more complicated than some programs mentioned here (and is what I use), sadly the linux desktop version is not as well maintained as that for windows/android/or mac.
One that I would semi recommend is apostrophe. Although, yes, it uses Haskell, it works just fine for minimalistic use, and synergies very well with gtk
Using trillium notes and, with all downsides, can't find any replacement... It's web app on nodejs and desktop apps on electron with sync capabilities, but I'm happy with only server install - really no need for sync If it works in web browser
I don't understand. Which of these apps work with a whiteboard and stylus that works for linux, and which whiteboard is best for taking handwritten notes on linux the way you can take notes in Microsoft whiteboard?
GTG, Zim and Vim are missing. One would say vim is not a note taking app, but it can really be one. I use vim for everything except may be video editing.
Try OnlyOffice, the best open source office suite for Linux: www.onlyoffice.com/desktop.aspx

Add Obsidian to the list. Open and no complex proprietary formats. Its markdown.

nice room for the new videos!!! thanks for the list of apps!!
I miss the look of the old studio (it looks like the kitchen) but this setup looks more practical. Need to relocate the paper notes you had on the wall!
Standard Notes?
Joplin does support self-hosted solutions such as Next Cloud.
Where is standard notes :(
I think he was looking at formatted note taking software specifically. There are a ton of quality plain text editors out there, and I personally don't think they're worth spending a video on.
Youve gotta be kidding me I was searching all day for this yesterday and ended up in a tie between online onenote, obsidian or trillium lol
Emacs org-mode?
md-book?
Came in because I'm always interested in lists of software that can be used like 'external brains'. Amusingly, your oblique reference to Obsidian is the first I've heard of that, and now I'm looking into that.
looking good. lots of green stuff in the office
Typora is also a great option.
hey, for the evernote error you have to open the appimage with the --no-sandbox flag, it will likely fix that issue
The studio looks awesome....👍
Could you theme your videos to dark mode?
i think the trees are a bit distracting but other than that it's good
Happy new year nick, background looks great
Thank you!
Notion is barely more complicated than some programs mentioned here (and is what I use), sadly the linux desktop version is not as well maintained as that for windows/android/or mac.
It's also more of a productivity app than a note taking app :) I'll cover it in a later video
One that I would semi recommend is apostrophe. Although, yes, it uses Haskell, it works just fine for minimalistic use, and synergies very well with gtk
New studio, new shirt
Well, it's an old shirt, but yeah, a change was in order!
Using trillium notes and, with all downsides, can't find any replacement... It's web app on nodejs and desktop apps on electron with sync capabilities, but I'm happy with only server install - really no need for sync If it works in web browser
New setup looking good Nik, but as a suggestion maybe tone it down to just one background plant. It's looking just a little too busy right now.
Yeah, that's what I thought too
I don't understand. Which of these apps work with a whiteboard and stylus that works for linux, and which whiteboard is best for taking handwritten notes on linux the way you can take notes in Microsoft whiteboard?
Joplin uses Markdown and has Vi mode so that makes me happy.
I love all the studios where there are plants
This is why I left Evernote. It's lack of a Linux app. I took my money (much less of it too), to Upnote. Runs great on All platforms that I have used.
New studio, very nice!
What about cherrytree?
0:38
compatible?
but i need right to left text support
Evernote no longer has an Linux client. From what I can detect, Tusk is no longer being developed, last commits in 2019
GTG, Zim and Vim are missing. One would say vim is not a note taking app, but it can really be one. I use vim for everything except may be video editing.
Damn, the great studio look so good. It's really satisfying to see that. (Really, no joke)
love the new set :)
Very nice useful. Thanks for your time.
anytype is actually great it is still in alpha but it is very good to be honest. It uses the blockchain to store your notes
Geany takes great notes btw.
Another excellent note taking software for pretty much every OS out there is Notecase Pro.
I want something to replace onenote that is cross platform.
