I have seen recommendations for Joplin. I downloaded it for Linux and Android (GrapheneOS). I created a note on desktop and transferred it to phone. I can’t find how to import the .jex file into the mobile app. That seems really dumb.

Am I the dumb one?

    I could never understand the fascination with Joplin. I’ve tried to use it multiple times but I just don’t like it. Sync issues, idiotic file storage, etc. were never worth it for me.

      You’re right. Joplin is number one on my “I want it to work” list, but it basically never does. E2EE was mandatory for me, but even something as simple as adding and then changing a password was rather chaotic, and that was before introducing the concept of syncing.

      They have recently created a paid sync service, but I don’t know how much faith I want to put in that.

      In the meantime, I moved over to a self-hosted StandardNotes instance, but that service is even more upset that I haven’t given them money, locking out features that don’t require a server to use.

      There is no good option (when it comes to end to end encrypted notes). And that’s kind of sad.
