This is the way.
Obsidian. It’s just so good. The only sad thing is - it’s not open source.
I use LogSeq at work. I have a lot of meetings, making a lot of notes and it’s just so easy to put all of them into the right hashtags/topic/whatever. When used right, it really needs 0 extra organisational work. It’s also really future-proof, easy to sync and also works on mobile.
+1 i just switched from Obsidian and I think logseq logic clicks more with my thought process (block notes vs page focus). Awesome application!
Can you point to a tutorial or guide to using logseq right? Where’d you learn how best to use it?
Not a particular one. Just start using it, if you know markdown, you’re halfway there. “/” Will l will give you some options, also “[[]]” and “#” are creating separate pages, which is the most important aspect of Logseq.
Google Keep .
Pros: Works well across multiple devices. Never lost a note yet.
Cons: Limited formatting. Never know if it will end up in the Google Graveyard one day.
Anytype, because they have a native mobile app
I’m using:
-
ticktick for tasks, time management (pomodoro timer, kaban board), as day planner, its sticky notes feature to get tasks (with included task description, task info, links and such) on top of all other windows as reminder and guide.
-
trilium notes for project based note taking.
-
on windows microsoft sticky notes and on ubuntu xpad as sticky notes for quick notes, brain dumps. Which I then eventually migrate to ticktick as tasks with possible subtasks when thoughts have crystallized.

Neovim using Neorg.
:Neorg journal today
(tab autocompleting each) brings up~/YYYY/MM/DD.norg
file, which includes support for stuff like keybind to cycle todo list box ticks, and uses chars for a NerdFontI mostly use it for tracking what I did day to day for work, for entering into my timesheet at ebd of week and being able to ref back to it in my morning standup meeting, as well as leaving notes for myself on future days as a pseudo schedule.
IE if I wanna leave a note for next Tuesday I’d create and edit
~/2024/03/05.norg
and pop it in there. On Tuesday when Ijournal today
there it’ll be ready for me.Minimalist, simple, autocomplete supporting, parseable, inside neovim (which I already have open), it’s perfect.
Bear Notes. I go and try other apps and end up coming back to Bear for its simplicity and stability.
Pen and paper scraps.
OneNote
Easy sync across devices, fairly feature rich, interacts well with other work software, while being easy to separate work and personal.
Megacorp holds my data. But I just don’t have the time/will to setup and maintain something self-hosted.
This is kinda dumb but I just use signal.
Supports audio, text, PDFs, csvs.
