Ratings and reviews

Takes text, voice and video notes, photos, whatever you can think of. Does links and attachments in notes. All in plain text on your phone and not somewhere in the cloud! I'm going to use this for a zettelkasten, this is great. Oh and did I mention its open source? One tiny improvement would be on the widget, when I select a file, it opens the app with the last file I had open instead of the file I actually clicked.

The Markdown editing experience is actually pretty good. It's easy to preview how the resulting text looks, and the hints in the editor itself and the convenient formatting toolbar on the bottom help a lot too. Biggest complaints are that the editor doesn't start with a monospace font, but that can be fixed in the options, and that the Save button is in the overflow menu. I don't have a small phone screen either. Anyway, it's overall great, extra features I don't use don't get in the way either.

I haven't used it much, but from what I can see it has every feature a unix lover could want, and most everything else besides. It's easy to sync files in any way imaginable, it's customizable to a pretty reasonable degree, and it's editor is simple but versatile, letting you do anything with plaintext, but provides non-intrusive buttons nonetheless. The fact that it's free in every conceivable way, even without ads, is the icing on the cake.
