So I’m moving away from apple because of all the trump bootlicking Tim Apple is doing.

Anyways, anyone got any self hosted notes app that has a flat file structure?

The most important part is the flat file structure. I want flat files because it makes it a LOT easier to back up than a db.

So any suggestions?

TIA

oh, I should note (geddit?), it should have an ios app and a macos app/web accessible site.

Joplin

+1 for Joplin. Sync via webdav-server (nginx, nextcloud) or their sync server. Works like a charm.

Logseq. Have used it for years. Sync across devices via syncthing. Since its all markdown files there should be no issues.

Need to restore? Copy files to new location, point the program at the new folder and you’re good to go.

Seconded, came here to suggest exactly this. Do prefer syncthing over their built-in cloud sync, as the former is much more dependable.

Do you think your boy Pichai isn’t licking boots? He sat right next to Tim Apple at the inauguration.

That’s why they are asking for a self-hosted solution, not a Google one.

I tried SilverBullet and it was really good and really neat, but not for me. Now I’m using Obsidian, which is easy enough to self host, but the company that makes it is small and indie and I decided to support them with a subscription.

I also switched to Asahi Linux 5 months ago. After decades of being an Apple fan, they are most unappealing these days.

I use Memos. It doesn’t use a flat file structure, but it does just use a SQLite database file. You can open it in any SQLite browser to read your notes, or copy it somewhere for backups.

Have a look at tasks md. github.com/BaldissaraMatheus/Tasks.md

Try Flatnotes.

why would you host anything? that’s just an app. QOwnNotes (stupidest name ever) stores .MD files that you can syncthing, rsync, copy, edit externally, whatever, allowing you never to be locked-in again. all the toolboxes can be turned off, netting you a UI that looks like apple’s notes.

I never really considered that tbh. but for what it’s worth, I like a central repository
