QOwnNotes is the open source (GPL) plain-text file markdown note taking application for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows by Patrizio Bekerle (pbek on GitHub and IRC), that (optionally) works together with the notes application of ownCloud or Nextcloud.
You are able to write down your thoughts with QOwnNotes and edit or search for them later from your mobile device (like with CloudNotes) or the ownCloud / Nextcloud web-services.
The notes are stored as plain text files and you can sync them with your ownCloud or Nextcloud sync client. Of course other software, like Dropbox, Syncthing, Seafile or BitTorrent Sync can be used too.
I like the concept of having notes accessible in plain text files, like it is done in the Nextcloud notes app, to gain a maximum of freedom, but I was not able to find a decent desktop note taking tool or a text editor, that handles them well in conjunction with ownCloud or Nextcloud.
Out of this need QOwnNotes was born.
Please be so kind to contact me and tell me how you like QOwnNotes or write me your suggestions as GitHub issue.
You can also contribute code by sending me pull requests on GitHub.
Visit the QOwnNotes installation page for all available Linux, macOS and Windows releases!
There are many Linux software repositories, amongst them repositories for Ubuntu Linux, Arch Linux, Debian Linux, Gentoo Linux, openSUSE Linux and Fedora Linux.
To manage your todo lists you need ownCloud tasks or Tasks++ as backend, with which you also can manage your todo lists in the web and on your mobile devices.
It is also possible to use an other CalDAV server to sync your tasks to.
To get more features with Nextcloud / ownCloud for your notes, like versioning and access to your trashed notes, you might also want to install QOwnNotesAPI on your Nextcloud / ownCloud server.
To access your Nextcloud / ownCloud notes from your mobile device you may want to get one of these apps:
On Android you could also use any sync-tool like Synchronize Ultimate or FolderSync to sync your note files and use software like neutriNotes to edit your notes.
On iOS I heard Notebooks works well (syncing notes via WebDAV).
