KeePassXC, or any kind of KeePass-compatible client. It uses strong encryption to store passwords, passkeys, and arbitrary data. Also does TOTP. Not using a password manager in current year is stupid.
QOwnNotes - a note-taking app that uses plain markdown files. None of that stupid metadata-inside-markdown-inside-database bullshit.
I can confirm both these. Although Qownnotes is a bit of mess in UI, it does its job well. I wanted something simple that will just load bunch of locally saved md files and this is the best I could find so far.
If you want a similar markdown editor, Obsidian does much the same, but with a much nicer single-panel UI. The client is free (as in no-cost), but closed-source.
I'm kind of hesitant with it since it's not FOSS. To be honest I never really understood why anyone makes free (no $$) software but not open source it. I might give it a try though.
There's Zettlr & Logseq Or......... you use Org-Roam/Org-Agenda in Emacs to get a 2nd brain functionality
I've tried both and did not like either. Logseq would be probably ok if it didn't sort every note as a bullet list.
Zettlr was veeery slow for me.
Obsidian also operates a paid cloud storage and public hosting service. Releasing the client for free is a way to gain good publicity and hook new customers, but making it open-source (or even nonfree source-available) would make adapting it to a different storage service trivial, which would hurt Obsidian's business.
It works well with syncthing...
Well, yes, but also no. There are other similarly strucuted SW that can survive even though they're open sourced. Things like Standard Notes, Notesnook, Stingle photos, etc. I believe most people would go hassle free route if the accompanying "cloud service" were good enough. And FOSS sticker is a good bonus on top. Just my 2 cents.
I love Keypass XC for it's better User interface but the Kee Broswer addon for Keepass 2.0 is just astronomically better. You can search and edit entries and it doesn't close on you when the page reloads.
