I know it will get downvoted to oblivion but the OP asked so whatever. I only use a simple txt or html text/notes editor sometimes (on both mobile and desktop). Other than that I use paper or don’t make notes at all. When I need to back them up or access them on another device, I just use a USB cable because Bluetooth doesn’t work on my machine for some reason

Yeah seriously I can’t believe you have the nerve to waltz into this thread and just plop a stinky plain txt turd into our nice punchbowl of needlessly overcomplicated organizational systems and tooling.

Also I talked about SyncThing elsewhere on the thread in my annoyingly long comment so I won’t repeat it all, but you will never sync or transfer files between computers & phones any other way than Syncthing once you see the light I promise (I mean unless you are regularly moving 100s of gigs lol). Syncthing is slick as fuck and it just does what it does no bullshit. The web browser UI has a damn QR code reader utility so if your computer/phone has an attached camera you don’t even have to text/email a long key or manually type it out.

I will never use a non self-hosted notes service. I think it’s ridiculous. You can never fully trust such a system and it’s unnecessary power usage (DNS, all the middlemen, the server, its office etc). You can encrypt the files before sending them to a third party service but ehh that’s additional steps and good luck recovering the files in case you lose the key. And I don’t really have quite the amount of money, time and neural cells for a home server so I prefer my way. No offends against syncing though. It has its advantages but ONLY if it’s self-hosted. And tbh I’m just too old school for your unnecessarily overcomplicated syncing stuff. Analog items ftw.

Syncthing is entirely self-hosted and end to end encrypted. Data only lives on your machines.
