Some questions first:
* Handwritten or keyboard typing
* On one device or synchronized to at least two or more devices
* Simple notes or markdown style

I for myself work with obsidian (https://obsidian.md) and Joplin (https://joplinapp.org). You can also use a "storage share" (nextcloud) from hetzner and use nextcloud's note app. In the end this all depends on what you want to achieve with the notes.

Maybe this helps for a start.

Do you need them to automatically sync across devices? If so, then do all the devices connect to the same LAN frequently? What operating systems do they run? Do you need to be able to collaborate with others? If so, then does it need to be in real time?

And what kind of features do you need in the notes themselves (e.g., bold text, tables, kanban board)?

I use Zettlr on PC and Markor on Android. I also sync my notes with SyncThing.

I like Simplenote because it syncs phone and laptop. Probably not secure, so I might not be answering the right question.
