Noteplan [1] has stuck for at least 3 years now. I like that in addition to old-school notes pages, each day has its own page. I capture notes and to-dos when I'm in meetings, and it has a separate view that will aggregate all your to-dos onto the same screen, no matter what day they appeared on. That might be available in many note-taking apps now, but when I converted to Noteplan, I couldn't find that feature anywhere. I really wanted something that combined to-dos and notes into the same software. Note-taking apps are a really crowded space and there are die-hards in every camp. It sounds trite, but I'm convinced the best one is the one that sticks and that you actually use. [1] https://noteplan.co/.

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.

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/ It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets. Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
