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

    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

        that’s what syncthing is for. you can set it up to sync the Notes folder to your other devices in a read/write way or just one way, so you got your central repo.

        also, qown has nextcloud notes sync built in.
