I've been using Joplin for my daily journal. I used to use evernote & tried google docs, but so far Joplin has worked well for me, it syncs with the same targets as this and more and most importantly has an android app.

I might circle back on this when I have some use case that joplin isn't meeting.

Joplin would be great if it just had some organization of todos approaching GTD (inbox, views based on due date). I really want an app that combines my notes and todos together but anything that does that (which i've tried) treats todos as notes with a checkbox next to it.

Why? GTD has a clear separation between reference materials and tasks. Why try to combine them?

Because its very natural to mix them into your daily notes, and reasonable to have them auto-collected and managed by a note tracking system. I have a notes app that does this, but haven't had time to clean it up and publish it.

Why do you mean by “mix”? It is not very natural to use the same system for both as you end up with non actionable data (notes) clouding your todo lists...

To take an example from this weeks notes:

  - [ ] fix `params.key_` copy pasted code
  - [ ] add ui to search mls listings  
  - [ ] review pr  

  Not sure how the extra param ended up on the search API but its there. Now have to pull it out and see if any systems are relying on its existence.
Etc. I have one system to write everything out, and put todo's wherever is relevant to what i'm writing about. I then have the system parse the notes, pull out all the todo's and collect them in a single place. If your needs are less "estimate, time track" and more "here's things I need to do, and whether i've done them." it works great.
