I’m looking for an open-source alternative to Samsung Notes, which I use every day to take notes with my pen.
One of the main problems with this application is that you can’t open a storage directly, every time I make a change to a document I have to export it manually to Nextcloud. You can’t sync without Samsung Cloud.
Edit: This is an example of the usage I do of Samsung Notes and what I’m looking for:
Saber should be exactly what you need:
https://github.com/saber-notes/saber?tab=readme-ov-file
You can take handwritten notes and supplement them with text and images. It can also sync directly to your Nextcloud Account or sync via a Saber Server from the developer.
I used it for a while on my Boox tablet and it worked really well without many bugs or hiccups. I only switched to Notesnook because I stopped taking that many handwritten notes that had to be synced as well.
I confirm. This is exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot
Glad I could help!
This is really good! Gonna try it today
Zettel Notes and WebDAV. Everything ist stored in plain text files.
Ive had a galaxy tab for a bit over a year now and use Notewise.
Its not foss but fuck me its the most comprehensive note app ive found for use with pen.
I use it to mark up construction plans, edit PDFs, sign documents, design things with its protractors and rulers, take notes, read manuals, its really above the rest in every way.
I do use Joplin for general text note taking in a notebook style but Notewise for anything and everything else.
edit - it also saves documents in i believe vector format so you can fully zoom in to your writing / highlighting and its never blurry. I found that samsung notes was absolutely horrible after you exported anything to pdf or image.
There is a beta version of Xournal++ for mobile devices: https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp_mobile/
I never used it, only the desktop version, that was good.
Edit: on a closer inspection it seems like abandoned, but apk direct download is available.
I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes

We even have an official lemmy community for joplin! [email protected] (it’s linked on their website)

Joplin is good, but I recently moved to Notesnook and honestly it’s so much better.
It looks decent but I don’t like that you have to pay to export markdown.
I believe that’s only if you use their servers. You can selfhost.
Then I will check. The options were grayed out on desktop when I first checked, could only export text
You have to actually create your account on a self-hosted instance. Self-hosted accounts are all Pro by default.
Where is the server version? I’ve been trying to find it!
Thanks for that tip.

But I recommend this thread as a better setup guide; https://lemmy.ml/post/25006407

Why don’t you use the nextcloud notes app? https://github.com/nextcloud/notes-android
Because you can’t handwrite on Nextcloud Notes…
