Any recommendations for a self hosted note taking app that runs on everything with a screen and is designed for multi device usage?

Also a modern, powerful and puristic UI would be a must have to compete with Keep.

I am looking for this app every now and then but am always disappointed by the choices.

I recently tried Joplin on Android, but was very dissatisfied with the usabilty.

The FOSS self hosted alternatives for smart home and porn are better than the commercial ones, can’t be that hard for notes, can it?

    Have a look at Obsidian. It runs on a variety of devices, you can sync either with their system, or pretty much anything else, as it just stores your notes as markdown files, and you can arrange notes like that with the canvas system.

      I actually had Obsidian installed and it looks like something I’d like if I spend more time on a computer but nowadays I’m mostly using phone for Internet activity. I couldn’t get canvas to work on my phone for some reason. It also lack reminders which is wuite crucial for me.

        Fair point about reminders, that’s not something I use it for, so I didn’t think of it. Canvas seems to be working now, and there are regularly push updates, so one of those might have fixed it.
