Hello! I'm still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I'll try to ask you then.

I'm looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

  • richtext/WYSIWYG (i don't want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
  • it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don't want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
  • FOSS and active

The one I'm currently using is obsidian, but it's not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

Any suggestion is welcome!

EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm talking about Android XD

Thanks for the detailed answer! I downloaded it and the UI is very nice, but sadly the notes seem to be stored in an internal db, so I can only see them using the app itself. I'd rather an app that saves the files as plain text, so that I can sync them however I want and open them with whatever app I want

It's however the best one I tried so far, so I'll probably settle with this! thanks for the suggestion!
