But what do you use to actually take the notes? After trying a bunch of apps I settled on VS Code with a custom Profile that has all the settings, extensions and UI states that I need for taking markdown notes.

I realised that I already spend at minimum 8-10 hours a day in VS Code, why learn another app with all the different quirks, UI and key bindings...

Often I need to consult notes on my phone, is there an app to comfortably browse and search notes in phone?

Preferably offline with syncing.

Today I use Joplin but it has custom file format.

Clibu Notes is a note-taking and Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) app that works on desktop, tablet, and smartphone. Local first, fast with first class editing, backlinks etc. Simple, effective note taking, always accessible everywhere. See Clibu.com
I like markor
and git synchronization with MGit on Android
I'm on a similar path (VSCodium + FOAM plugin, and then using MkDocs & Roam-links plugin to export as HTML). Can you share some of the VSCode plugins / settings / color schemes / etc which have been working well for you?
