I tend to prefer “file centered” apps, there’s some cool one you’d use with Syncthing? My favourite is KeePassDX; I would love a notes app with a ‘material you’ UI.
I use Obsidian for my notes and use SyncThing instead of their paid syncing option.
Logseq is better than Obsidian and open source
It’s on F-Droid? Can’t find it
Obsidian is not FOSS, I still use it because I find it to be the most complete note taking app. You can download it from the Aurora Store and disable the network permission, same on linux downloading it from Flathub and disable the network permission using Flatseal
Try Logseq its amazing
I’ve been using Markor to take notes for a year or so now, and I really enjoy it. I use SyncThing to cloudify my Markor notebook directory, and I edit the same files on my laptop using VS Code.
I have the following apps backing up to a syncthing share
- Aegis
- OpenScale
- Gadgetbridge
- OpenTracks
- Signal
all of them were set and forget, except for Gadget bridge who would randomly loose access to the shared
The following apps allow to manually backup to a file, but not automatically.
- AntennaPod
- Catima
- Birday
- Tickmate
I found syncthing acted weird with signal backups. It would error out the first time signal changed the backup. Did you have to change anything?
No, never had an issue with Signal backups.
These are the ones I actively use with syncthing
- Markor - for quick note taking and todo’s
- Librera reader - ebook reader
- Seeneva - smart comic reader
- Voice - Audiobook player
- Simple music player
- KeeepassDx - also
Markor seems the most syncthing friendly but I don’t like the UI. :(
I use it for emulator saves between my phone and laptop also just use it for moving videos etc between them.
Logseq for notes
Keepsssdx also. Synced across 5 devices. Perfect
I also sync my dcim folders on my devices. So all my photos appear on all my devices. Delete on one, delete on all. Love it
Same with my documents folders, and more.
One of the coolest thing about using KeePassDX this way: you can even sync OTP and use these on deskop without a phone.
