Preferably an application that you can sync and save. Not sure what alternatives are safe in terms of privacy and security.

@clark I used Notally at first, but I wanted cross-device syncing at some point. So I discovered this app by a developer called Bill The Farmer, which this is insanely small (just a few KB). I keep my notes in pCloud. I'm not sure how private it is, but I am thinking of storing them inside a veracrypt container, synced with pCloud instead, and I am also keeping an eye on other options that have the ability of storing notes as Markdown files.

I'm keeping an eye for now on Quillpad ver. 1.5 but I'm open to other options as well. 😁

I'm gonna try out Quillpad. Seems relatively okay, gonna read some reviews later. Pretty cool you can save your notes in a zip document if you don't have NextCloud.
