Org mode

Org: an Emacs Mode for Notes, Planning, and Authoring
Pricing:
- Open Source
Orgmode seems to be a big change after using Notion. However, I fell in love with Emacs, so I Wanted to use all the best things. It was easy to set up org-agenda, org-roam, etc. Unfortunately, after a while, I noticed that using a non-standard system(not Markdown) could impact my note-sharing capabilities, as well my ~work~ docs were mostly built with Markdown. So, a note system that uses Markdown. Also, I switched to VIM :).

Obsidian.md

A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

Obsidian, free for personal use, however Sync is paid service. Obsidian is the holly grail of all second brain builders and home of PKM, Zettelkasten or many other methods lovers. Personally, during the first time, I went too deep into this solution. I tried many plugins, and added workflow, task and project management, presentations, and diagrams, without the correct directory structure and idea. Also, I wasn’t struggling with the setting of the Syncing solution, as git Crashed from time to time and iCloud worked fine as long as I was using one machine. So switch. Reasons were:.

Logseq

Logseq is a local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base.
Pricing:
- Open Source
- Free
Logseq fully free and open-source Obsidan-like tool with fewer plugins, however, it also gives you a chance to complex everything a lot. I have been using it for less than a year, however at some point, I noticed that I'm writing longer Forms in Obsidian, and daily notes in Logseq. Why? Due Logseq design. It starts everything as a new point With -, even if it's a standard Markdown. We’re starting everything at a new point. Issues?

Joplin

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor.
Pricing:
- Open Source
- Free
Joplin open-source tool, with paid Sync service. However, it supports WebDav sync. As a user of Fastmail have a lot lot of storage for it. Those parts work great, links, complexity level, and clear Markdown. Themes, mobile app, tags, everything I needed was there. Unfortunately, again, for short notes, my go-to app becomes memos, for long-form BookStack, seems to be the best solution. Why? Firstly my love for self-hosted solutions boomed, also Joplin even if looks perfect for my use case was some reason hard to describe and did not encourage me to write. Soo.. I back to Obsidian.
