Would highly recommend reconsidering paper notes. Get a small notebook [0] and write down what you need. You’ll lose it and spill coffee on it but you’ll be fine. For the vast majority of things the note writing experience is what makes the difference, not the actual paper. For the rest a subscription is not for me, but to each their own.

Apps like Logseq, Obsidian and Dendron don't have subscriptions.

I’m only familiar with Obsidian, but it’s business model does have an $8/mo sync tier, and a $16/mo publishing tier as well as a $50/user/year commercial plan.

You can easily set up sync using SyncThing or Dropbox or any other tool that syncs directories between devices. I did pay $25 because I enjoy using Obsidian - but I don't think there is anything missing in the free version. The best part is that everything including themes, plugins and themes are synced perfectly between desktop and mobile.

Unless you're on iOS/iPadOS, as far as I know.

I installed iSH [0] (Alpine linux emulator) on my iPad and sync obsidian directories between my laptop and the iPad using git and ssh. Works like a charm.

You can use iCloud to sync everything - your actual notes and the workspace files. Easy, free, works great.

I never managed to do that. Obsidian insisted on putting its vault in its own folder, not on iCloud, IIRC.

Is there a guide how to set it up?

Assuming all the devices you work on are Apple devices.

Some people use iPhones but work on Windows/Linux.

For android, there is box, sync, MEGA, etc. There are more.

As Obsidian keeps all your notes as plain markdown files, you can easily get it for free with two-way sync set up with Sync, box, MEGA, etc.

+1. I wanted to build a daily journaling habit but digital just wasn’t cutting it for me. I managed to do it once I bought one of these [0]. I punched a hole in it and tied a pen to it.

The forgiving format (entries are not pre-dated so you’re allowed to miss a day, the bar on entry length is set low by design) coupled with absence of friction when traveling (no poor connectivity, low battery, etc.) really went a long way.

I knew that even the need to find a pen to write the day’s journal would be enough friction for me to skip it, which is why I tied one to it.

I’ve filled up a couple of these little notebooks, but I haven’t been able to replicate this consistency with any digital solutions.
