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
For private notes & random images/files app I would suggest trying https://joplinapp.org But I use as private notes mainly, so can't say much on file storage side. Multiple sync target (e.g. Dropbox, Nextcloud, OneDrive etc.) with E2EE. But it's not polished so expect there might some strange limitations.

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.

Not exactly open source, but as far as "alternatives to Evernote" goes, I've been told about Obsidian[0] (though I've not jumped in yet), which has plugins for OCR and web clipping, and considering the community, I'd be surprised if related notes aren't a thing. [0] https://obsidian.md/.

I love how more and more of us are using Git to store our notes, though in this case it's more coupled to GitHub than Git. If there is already a need to self-host this, then why not just hook into git and make this more generic? In fact, why is a Postgres database even needed? Please note that I'm biased. I work on [GitJournal](https://gitjournal.io) which is similar, but only mobile based.

I would suggest trying out bangle.io [1] - an opens source markdown web app that is completely local and will support GitHub based syncing. [1] https://bangle.io.

Logseq

Logseq is a local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base.
Pricing:

If you like Obsidian, check out Logseq. Both handle plain-text Markdown, so you can use them interchangeably. Logseq also handles Org-mode files, if that’s your thing. Everything is local, but works well with cloud storage. There’s also an iOS app. It’s worth a look. (No affiliation) https://logseq.com/.
