Notes apps are where ideas go to die. And that’s good

You can do that with Obsidian. Also, the DataView plugin allows you to run arbitrary queries over your notes to create new views

I tried doing that (I pay for Obsidian Sync, and have a lot of plugins so I run only the bare minimum plugins I need on mobile), but app start time and syncing time on mobile makes this quite a bad experience. Instead, when I need to write something quickly, I create a temporary Google Keep note.

When I'm back at my laptop, I merge it into my Obsidian Vault.

Damn. That is my process exactly.

I recommend LogSeq with Syncthing for your use case.

I'm using that right now for both TODO and notetaking. I have syncthing set up so that it syncs my vault across 3 devices (including my phone). Very easy to set up (tho admittedly also easy to mess up the set up process). Have had minor hiccups the past 5 months but nothing that would make me want to stop using this setup.

All this is free. I feel like I've found a gold mine that nobody else seems to know about.

I've heard of syncthing a few times. I'm trying it now on Android + macOS, seems to work well.

What do you like about LogSeq?
