Ratings and reviews

Great app and I really appreciate the privacy-first approach. One issue on Android: text selection and copy is very limited. I can’t reliably copy across multiple paragraphs if there are spaces between them, which forces me to copy paragraph by paragraph. This adds friction when working with longer notes. Improving multi-paragraph selection and aligning with standard Android copy behavior would make a big difference.

This. Is. Brilliant. For almost 2 decades I have been trying to sync OneNote or other notes, Joplin or Synology notes and they all... didn't. Sometimes maybe. Slowly definitely. I just stumbled on this in Linux, scanned the QR code to login and my phone had all my desktop content in a blink. So well done! And the breadth of what it can do is wild. My new favorite app.

Cool idea, not well executed yet. I feel like they are in their infancy and perhaps will be a better contender down the line. For now, they advertise it being local, but in actuality if you want access from your phone you gotta use their hosting. Self hosting is poorly documented and is not possible to setup like common application installs. I went back to Notion, which this app basically is, but Anytype has a bit more intuitive interface.
