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

I sound like a broken record but check also https://silverbullet.md

It should check all of your boxes + it has local files like obsidian (which is why I love it), and the main dev is very active both on discord and forum.

I can't find the application on fdroid, does it have an android app or do I need to use it in a browser?

I checked better, it can only be used as PWA, which means I cannot use it offline :(
