There are good Notes App (with syncing options):

  - Standard Notes (OSS, E2E encryption, Allows Sync)
  - AnyType (OSS, E2E encryption, P2P Syncing, Have option to host a node yourself)
---

If you want to separate Notes App and Syncing, then you could try following combination:

  - Obsidian/LogSeq with SyncThing
  - Obsidian/LogSeq with Git Sync
  - dendron vscode with Git Sync

Oh wow! I did not know about anytype. Thank you for showing me another option. How long has the software been around? What is your personal setup? Do you use it?

iirc they went open source the other day on github but it puts me off that you are required to login to use their desktop app.

with obsidian i can just open a git cloned repo folder with my notes and i can use it without sign in walls.

Yo I totally thought about using just files in a git repo myself. However I’m reluctant on trusting GitHub with my notes. Maybe is self-host a git repository and use that. Hmm thanks thoughts like these are exactly why I posted this.

Also looking into Möbius, which is an iOS implementation of syncthing.

FWIW, the company behind Obsidian also offer a paid sync service.

Has anyone managed to get LogSeq to sync across Apple devices?
