On my phone I just use the Nextcloud notes app, since I mainly need to reference existing notes or use checklists.

#22I use it for personal knowledge management and organizing my life.
All my notes are in it, as well as interesting tidbits from podcasts, YouTube.
I’ve implemented Cal Newports productivity/time blocking method in it as well.
there’s lot of cool templates and community around it as well if you want to get the most out of it.

#27I've settled on Markdown notes in Dropbox, edited with vim.
On Android I do this with FolderSync and vim in Termux.

#28Dendron for its blazing speed and its ease of use. https://www.dendron.so/
What does "blazing speed" mean in the context of a note-taking app? Using notepad and a basic markdown file is also blazing fast, but that doesn't tell me anything about it? What are the specific features that made you choose Dendron over other knowledge management tools? I'm not trying to be adversarial, I'm genuinely curious.
Dendron is built for ease of retrieval of notes. It is built mostly for devs. Now, I can retrieve forgotten syntax easily in Dendron when compared to other apps. The fact that is is built on top of VS code helps.

#29I use Standard Notes[0] although it doesn't support images. Evernote supports images, but Evernote isn't as private as Standard Notes. There is also Joplin[1] if you really need images, and you can either self-host it or use their cloud[2] offering.
