If you're going to run it locally why not just use Apple Notes app?

If using a web app, it would be better to run it on a $5 server, so if you want to type in something while you're outside with just your phone, you can do that also.

I've been using Notes.app (and every other note-taking app) for years. It has zero organizational power. I don't think anyone would use it if it weren't for the fact that it comes on macOS/iOS and that it's synced by default.

I have thousands of notes in Notes.app across every subject. And moving them into my wiki (categorizing them, linking them) was one of the first thing I did. And one of the best things I've done. Like I had all sorts of stuff in there: stories I've written, lists of things, texts me father sent me, 4 different documents where I had written down birthday/xmas ideas for my girlfriend that I never remembered to check.

These mapped very nicely to pages and categories on my wiki. I even have a page for my girlfriend (globally available on my sidebar) that now has a === Gift ideas === subheader.

One day you just might decide Notes.app is not cutting it for you and that you want better organization. Maybe you won't. I'm in my 30s and didn't do it til now.

I have mine running from Dropbox, so my other computers always have it synced. The real issue is mobile access. It's not something I care about right now but making it internet addressable is certainly something I could do in the future.
