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

    Triple-# for an h3 is way faster than navigating to a Style menu and clicking Heading 3 in a UI dropdown (or whatever).

    of course it is, and ideally if the app supports it I’d use it more than the button. the WYSIWYG thing is not in the input, but rather in what is displayed while I type: if I type ###<space>, I want the line to become a title, hiding the ### imediately, not after I click a “render” button

    for instance, on desktop marktext checks all my points. I’m looking for a mobile app with similar features. The mobile version of Marktext will take some time to come out sadly
