Evernote alternatives? (terefere.eu)

With their recent update it seems they are on the last step to making their free version completely useless – are there any good alternatives out there? Preferably something that has a similar android app. I know I could use ssh+vi in a text file, but I'd prefer something a bit more streamlined

I tried Obsidian, but I'm building a meal planner and a workout planner in Notion and I just can't imagine getting anywhere near this juice for my squeeze from Obsidian. I also live for the consistency between Windows and Android and the simple and clear notifications from my projects, tasks, and calendar on BOTH reliably.

Do I need to give Obsidian a 2nd look? Any resource you recommend for plug-ins or specific plug-ins? Thanks!

Honestly, that sounds like something you're going to have a much better time doing in Notion 😅

Your use case is outside the type of thing I use Obsidian for (notes, brainstorms, longform/fiction writing, project development), so there might be plugins I don't know about that will help you do what you're describing, but then I'm not the right person to ask 😕

I'm not sure what type of functionality it is you want to end up with, but if Notion doesn't get you there, my first thoughts would be to try Google Sheets (can do almost anything, but steep learning curve for advanced stuff), or maybe even Airtable (which I haven't looked at since I found Notion, at least 5 years ago, so unsure how they've been developing).

Good luck with the project! 😃🤘
