Wanna avoid anything having to do with cloud sync, I just want the option to backup/export and store it myself.

Mainly looking for Android apps, but hopefully theres something cross-platform.

I did some research. Joplin is not encrypted at rest (but it is encrypted during transit). The TL;DR is that they see no point in at-rest encryption, because disk encryption should already managed by the OS itself.
