I've tried dozens and none work better for me than

  $EDITOR $HOME/txt/note
where $EDITOR is Good. The only thing I want from a notes app is to sync txt with my phone, let me edit the files and do exactly nothing else. They all fail.

Side note: there was a laughing emoji in the previous text but HN removes it. Anyone know why that might be?

store txt/note in Dropbox, then you also have the sync.
