I tried Joplin, but sync from desktop to mobile happens on a fixed interval instead of syncing automatically when you make changes. That was a blocker for me because a lot of basic use cases involve switching between devices:

- Create a workout on my laptop, then walk to the back yard and follow it on my phone while taking additional notes.

- Create a packing checklist for a trip on my desktop, then walk around the house with the list in my hand, checking off what I have already so I know what I need to buy.

- Scan a tax form to my Taxes notebook on my phone and then go back to my laptop where I'm using Turbotax.

Evernote has worked for these use cases for a long time.
