Obsidian takes the cake.
Obsidian
Centralized I’m going with Notion
Currently using only Apple notes for the past year to see if I can get buy for my needs, and I can, but obsidian is light years better in every way except for encryption and collaborative notes
Markor + syncthing.
I just started self hosting Joplin to transition to though, and it seems pretty nice so far. Also thinking of standing up Memos.
The real right answer
I like obsidian and Notesnook
obsidian
Exactly 😂
I like QOwnNotes and Joplin.
Jill. She's meticulous, punctual, and doesn't talk back.
Oh.. you said app.
vim
emacs! but yes, .txt files
Logseq
just spawm a terminal and start writing.
If you will need your note for more than a session you can highlight the text, then launch "vim note.txt" and middle click your note in it.
:wq!
I use syncthing and I make notes in Markdown.
Mousepad
vi
Obsidian is my go to. But I like NotesNook encryption and interoperability between iOS and desktop. If you want minimal my good friend developed these

These look pretty good. Could your friend be persuaded to port these to use Nostr as a backend?
Obsidian, hands down
I heard this about Obsidian:
logseq
@JeffG how do you feel about reusing the MLS spec for other subprotocols?, like we define a NIP for simple notes, then notes clients create a group with all your devices (assuming it's just for personal usage and only you will see your notes) and use some selected relays to save and sync your notes encrypted using the group key.
Never used this plugin
The "core" software is top shelf stuff though.
Emacs org mode
Obsidian
Simplest txt editor you can get on the device.
Joplin. Open source, self host, works well as docker image.
Tiddlywiki.com . Even my wikis from 2005 still work. Host it on your server or carry it around as single file. HTML/JS that's all. I like the Stroll-Plugin for nice context linking and displaying.
Possibly. He built these, I did the design/UX, because nothing else suited our needs - sound familiar...? If he does not have time to do this himself, can he share the code for others to leverage for nostr? Let me ask him...
So he says he does not have time to port them, but the code is open source and he'd be happy to share.
I first thought this was far from true, but now I'm a maximalist. It's like leaving the stone age of note taking.
vim and some text files in different directories
+ 1 for Obsidian
Would actually shift my note-taking to Nostr if there's a simple app on it like Google keep that I can use to organise and sync notes across my personal devices
Oh that's for sure logseq but I never find time to master it. It so powerful note taking app 💪🏻
I use Obsidian as my daily driver.
I use Notesnook on my phone. It’s free so interpret that how you want. It syncs to a webpage. They say it’s end to end encrypted.
I have yet to find anything as good as ever-note, open source, or otherwise. When I was working more it was worth the premium.
I think this is the only thing that comes close.

The safe way to remember everything. Take all your important data with you.
Emacs: org mode.
Yes, I'll do that on my cheap Android phone.
It's also an OS!
Obsidian is were its at!
I use Upnote on mac. It's decent but not great.
Tried Obsidian but don't like the markdown focus (same reason I don't like NIP-23 for long form content).
behold, the most edited note of all time. surely this note, is the most refined, the most well thought out and perfectly crafted note in existence.
1000 edits.
Obsidian
Bear. Obsidian, strong second place.
Happy Notesnook user.
I have fallen for Anytype
Open source and zero knowledge!
GM!
Certainly not the best note-taking app (yet), I made a simple list app which works offline and syncs via nostr with a shared nsec
