Literally none of those are Google Keep alternatives. They’re all trying to be much more, and as a result they’re much worse at the very simple job Keep does.
I’ve said this many times. Everyone is trying to make a digital notebook. All I want are digital Post-Its.
Thank you!!! It’s crazy how I feel like no one is talking about it, but there isn’t a FOSS alternative to Google Keep. I tried Joplin, Standard Notes, Logseq, Anytype, etc., but none of them are pleasant to use on mobile. (On the other hand, they are good alternatives to Notion, but that’s not what I’m looking for)
I use Notesnook which I find is complete and not bad at all on pc, but the mobile interface is as unintuitive as the other ones mentioned before…
Beaver Notes seems to be a plausible alternative for now, but is today too unstable and too early in its state (as far as the iOS app is concerned anyway).
I’ve tried a bunch of those prevalent options, but they’re not a close enough replacement. Just found the lesser known Jotty-Page and it’s pretty close.
Huh those all kinda suck, I switched to Joplin but it’s limited for collaboration.
And doesn’t have a widget.
In my opinion widgets stopped being any good like a decade ago.
I like the idea, the implementation is just garbage.
Google Keep’s widget is nearly perfect imo
Joplin has served me well for over a year now
I’m getting into this as well. Trying to transition work stuff over from OneNote, and also get better at documenting my own stuff.
