I don't use Zettel Notes for any of its, well, "zettel" features. Rather, I wanted a fully-featured Markdown editor that wasn't trying to sell me some sort of cloud product. Zettel is perfect for this. I can customize the toolbar to focus it on the tools I actually use, and it works great for my purposes. Thank you to the devs!!!

Update: Thanks for the quick reply. I made several attempts at creating a new repository and selected Obsidian folder. But it is taking too long with processing notes, with the loop going around and around. nothing happens... What is taking it so long? ----- Where can I find a quick click like "import notes" to use in Zettel Notes App to help me import my notes from the Obsidian App folder into the Zettel Notes App's repository folder in my phone? ... edited off.

Update: Can you check the log file (Settings > Misc > Log file). Does it contain any error. First sync may take time as database is populated on first start for quick search. Hey, Just create a new repository (Menu > Repositories > Add button) and select the folder that contains your notes in internal storage.

This is just about everything I've been looking for in a Notes app!! I like the level of customization available, and the support for WebDAV and encryption. I'm now running an encrypted directory on the headless cluster that I call my home server. The only wish I have is for the customization options to be taken a step further (I.e. different colors for different heading levels, custom app background color, etc.). Otherwise, this is absolutely the most flexible notes app around!
