I want to remove #Google Notes from my life, so I was looking around at other self hosted notes applications. I found #memos and it is so light and so quick to install this will run on a #RaspberryPi and it took me less than 5 minutes to build.

Creator
Mar 16, 2026if you host it on you local network you can access it, if you use tunnels or a URL then yes you can do that too!
tomThank you!! My home server currently only has Plex and NextCloud on memos is my next project. Thanks again!!

Enriquewhats everyone opinion on Notesnook?
Idrees HassanFor all those suggesting obsidian, do note that it isn’t open source if that’s important to you

glitchgardenOBSIDIAN
droopiewait it's not chow-n? I have been saying it wrong for 25 years
NeodexiumsterI highly suggest AnyType, been in development for years with the idea of capturing all kinds of custom and default shapes of information (tasks, notes, urls, meetings), all local, private, encrypted. And synces via LAN, and crossplatform. Genuinely surprised this software isn't mentioned more often, since its way more complete than all other apps (developers actually wanted you to use the app for EVERYTHING, hence the name 'Any'type)

Dec 25, 2025affine is also a good option
BugajPCMRI'm looking for only local solution since I have VPN, I also want to utilize local LLM for RAG. Is there any tool that will let me connect notes to my local AI?

Dec 25, 2025not really used it much, affine is a great option.
stephen.purkissCheck out https://theweave.social
Doom_Hamsterhmm looks nice but I am getting a little intimidated by the whole command line thingy. is there no way to do it through some kind of interface where you just create folders and/or click install?
1
Creator
Dec 24, 2025yup, use a operating system like unraid (that's what i used when I started), or casaos, umbrell, or truenas. that gives you an I terface to click and install. but once you start with terminal, it gets very easy very fast :)
1
droopiestarted? what are you using now? I went with unraid instead of trunas like 6 years ago. unraid is pretty much a 1 click for docker. still need user for configs etc. super easy.
FAHADWhat's our problem with such obvious things? The “Joplin” program has been around for a long time and doesn't need alternatives.

Dec 14, 2025An alternative to notion that's free and your data isn't sent to someone else's server

2BAnyone else using Joplin? Also has a clipping plug-in for chrome and a function to search your notes directly in your browser. Also for phones. Nice backup function as well.
3
Creator
Dec 11, 2025Oh, I should take a look at that one.
1
Old-Bear-76Absolutely. Have used Onenote, DevonThink, obsidian and many more. In the end I took Joplin and started to use it with a personal storage cloud solution. Have migrated over 36gb of data and consolidated it into Joplin. at times a bit raw, but at least you can import export and are not locked in. even better: I sync between Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and iOS.
2
2BYes, as you say it's a bit raw but the freedom to self host and sync across all plattforms is absolutely worth it.

Vince VanhoyteObsidian and git lab

Dec 8, 2025Gitlab is a good choice
MichaelYesterday i found AFFiNE. Really nice Notes / Notion alternative. U can host it urself and the nice thing is: its local first. Im just using the App and when im home it automatically sync to the self-hosted instance. No need for a tunnel or open ports!

Dec 6, 2025Nice, I've been considering doing an affine set up, good push :)

RaphZMemos is really cool to save random stuff, but it can become quite annoying to search for stuff when you save a lot of notes
5
Creator
Dec 4, 2025Yeah, it seems a little lacking when you're at scale but the you can move to more robust options like Joplin or even affine.
1
RaphZI've been using Memos just in case I want to make a quick note, and later one I'm adding it to obsidian, which I've synced with my server using syncthing, and where I have all my notes/documents organized
1
Creator
Dec 4, 2025Nice, that's a solid plan.

Bear&Kat in CitiesObsidian + Github = no hosting needed

n0TechInteresting. Does that mean you use the GitHub app on your phone to access your notes?
NyquilNo, use the obsidian app

droopieor using github as the host provider?
bugsnteaInstead of using Google, let’s use Microsoft … if you don’t host, the data isn’t yours.

Abbot SkinnyReading the repeating obsidian comments and watching pluribus simultaneously is creepy.

Creator
Nov 22, 2025Lol, obsidian is great, but a lot for a beginner
3
Abbot SkinnyOr use this prompt in any LLM: make me a local md editor with split view and sidebar for saves in localstorage. Add an export function as json for giggles.
1
Creator
Nov 22, 2025Lol, I was considering making one for the wife but she has additional needs, but yeah, super easy to build.
Tom Sepewhat i’m liking about Obsidian is it is just md files. so i can open my notes directory in cursor AI and start doing some smart editing. then can view and sync the notes accesible on my phone etc. yes would like to make this self-hosted. but i’m ditching evernote and just starting this transition
3
_malachiportlockObsidian is another great one

anonorowas about to say same 😂

John Doenot if you want online sync

NdRWhy not? I have my vault on iClod drive, so it’s synced in all my devices
4
glitchgardenthere is OBSIDIAN Sync 😂
2
dominikYou can use the remotely sync plugin with e.g. a self-hosted webdav server
Doe Jones461There's an open source plugin to sync your vaults for free...a bit tricky to set up, but it works like a charm! 👍

kiwi_feathersI use one note. can handwrite, type, take pics and is on all devices. for a solution like this, I'm thinking of how my entire family can use this with me rather than just me.

AthionLegit opened a terminal to check and Ip address today and without thinking started to type “sudo apt… “

CosmicVibeThere is an importer for Google Keep for Obsidian. Maybe you can import them into obsidian and then use the plain text to import it into this
1
Capervan FanPersonal preference: Affine. Very easy docker compose setup. Can use local LLM

Nov 21, 2025Yeah I think I should look at that one.

xjaridapt update; but never apt upgrade?
9
CosmicVibeYes? Why would you want to do an upgrade?
1
Asnee2000Are you serious? Update to update the repository list and upgrade to actually install them
1
CosmicVibeThat's not what the upgrade command does 🙄 apt upgrade installs new versions of already existing packages on your system. That's not what you want in this case. You just added another repository and want to install that specific package. So you do an update followed by an apt install - nothing else
1
Asnee2000Not that’s not it, apt update merely update the metadata (catalogue refresh), you need apt upgrade to install them.
1
CosmicVibeThat's literally what I just said. Maybe try reading
Creator
Nov 21, 2025Yes you're 100% right I either edited it out or just forgot, but yes update to get the updates to the packages and the upgrade to install them
3
Michael ScottI'm all for self-hosting everything but obsidian with the git plugin for free simple sync does the job nicely
3
Creator
Nov 21, 2025Yeah, obsidian is OP but, overkill for just a notes app.

Nov 21, 2025Obsidian is great and far more powerful, but this is just so clean.

chairman meowI had some issues with syncthing and obsidian creating conflict files, if you encounter the same I recommend checking out self-hosted livesync
1
Creator
Nov 21, 2025Thanks for the tip
Asnee2000Just use Notion, it’s great and free
Caffeinated Code Dadobsidian's achelles heel is its dependence on the file system. naming schemes are difficult
1
Creator
Nov 21, 2025It's too much though, for a simple notes app, overkill.
StarAnyType might be a open source alternative here, similar capabilities to obsidian but open source and self hostable with multiple device support including mobile.
2
j0hn.rees3Another option but is not self hosted: Obsidian. You just save the files in a place that is synced to your own server somehow. available for phones too
95
Creator
Nov 21, 2025Yeah I use obsidian a lot for the day job.
22
LiatachI love obsidian but I came to the comments just for this because I've twice now failed to successfully get obsidian to sync with Android over Proton drive if you've been successful please let us know how

fab0iI use SyncThing to sync all of my Obsidian notes across all devices. I highly recommend it!

Nov 22, 2025A lot of extra work but worth it.

I do that too. Works perfect. You don't even need a dedicated server for it

VainSoftGamesI use it and have my vault on iCloud, free sync ability 😁
1
John Bonksyncing my files through git. But I just have a spare computer serving as a server with gitea installed on it
2
Yilmasmy biggest grievance with obsidian is the lack of self host, and the publish not having any password gates.
1
Creator
Dec 2, 2025You can self host, but sync won't work and yeah, there is no password management at all. Really annoying.
1
Yilmasdefine self host
1
Creator
Dec 2, 2025You download and run the code on your own servers you manage, not paying a subscription to use.
1
Yilmasin that case, obsidian isn't legally self-host capable. you can run it in a docker, and most of the UI gets quite wonky. but its against their eula. you cant natively publish to your own server.
1
XoàiYou guys can deploy a VNC then using obsidian on that!
1
DvidPiI personally use git. It's about 2 minutes of setup, assuming you already have a GitHub account (or host your own git server 😃). One con is you have to manually tell it to push your changes. Else, they will stay on your device.
2
ShrikeI just pay for obsidian sync and it works, worth the money

tikchbila tiwliwlathere are also ways to self host it!
