Notesnook has been down for about a day, consistent crashes despite deleting it and reinstalling. I don’t seem to be the only one as evidenced by the users voicing this concern on their Github page.

So, while imagining Notesnook will never get back up, what would be some alternatives to it? I’ve tried out Joplin, Quillpad, and Notally in the past, but none really stuck with me. I don’t use Nextcloud either. From what I’ve heard, many seem happy with Standard Notes and Markor. Anything y’all can vouch for?

Looking for an alternative that gets as close to Notesnook as possible, without a subscription model.

    If it’s only been a day, I might wait a bit longer before writing it off. The issue could very well be resolved soon. Even the big tech companies have a service go through problems for a day or two.

    I only tested Notesnook for a few days, so I may not remember it’s key elements well, but Standard Notes seemed like a very similar product (the downside is the subscription, it was basically unusable to me without paying).

    The NotesNook UI is the best I’ve seen, it’s hard to find that level of polish in a FOSS android app.

    I think you’ll struggle to find what you’re looking for without a subscription model unfortunately. If you do want to retry Joplin that is my recommendation, I run it with a locally hosted Joplin sync server, it’s fantastic for my use case. It’s been recieving a lot of solid updates lately too.
