Have you tried the Notes app in Nextcloud? I moved all my keep notes to that not too long ago, and they show up as markdown files when you sync them to your desktop. There's a Notes Android app as well.
I did actually. And unfortunately Nextcloud doesn't run well on my hardware at all. Perhaps I'll revisit should I upgrade down the road.
I feel like NextCloud needs some relatively capable hardware to run on, and their minimum specs are bullshit.
I've tried it on a relatively capable PC (with an old i7) in a docker container in WSL, and it ran like shit. I'm sure it would have run better natively, but I don't want to devote that entire machine to NextCloud.
I've tried it on a Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB) and it ran like shit. People keep saying it runs on low-powered hardware, but I have yet to see it.
I have to agree with you here. I tried the official Nextcloud docker as well as the AIO container that has some performance optimization tweaks. They both ran terribly on my Microserver G8 with 16GB RAM and an upgraded CPU (Xeon E3-1265L v2). Which I realize is a bit long in the tooth tech wise, but even if I paused or stopped all other containers to try to give it even more system resources, it ran really poorly. I do have a Pi4 as well but figured why bother. I don't need all of the features NC has. I've been testing Seafile for storage/sync and while it has a quirk or two, it works insanely fast. But it's also a different beast entirely.
