I was disappointed that Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) wasn't included in the app list.

Having used both Evernote and OneNote, I've found Joplin to be a better choice, especially when I'm bouncing between platforms. It doesn't lock you to a particular ecosystem or cloud service, and the open source app is free for use.

For what it's worth, I'm not affiliated with Joplin, I'm just a user.

Also using Joplin, it is perfect for me to have everything on windows android and Linux. All syncing with nextcloud.

The only thing that bothers me it has poor search, if you want to search for 'google' 'goog' doesn't resolve any results. A bit baffled by this, you can use an * wildcard but would prefer fuzzy search

I'm also a heavy Joplin user! The feature to sync with common file backup services (Dropbox, OneDrive, etc) is really useful, and doesn't feel like I'm locking my second brain into someone else's walled garden.

Amazed it wasn't mentioned in this article.
