Cross platform note/Journaling solution ?

[Ramadhir Singh]

hello
Does anyone has any experience using Obsidian - https://obsidian.md/

I'm using icloud notes for over a decade and it is exactly the thing i wanted... but some unavoidable reason now i have to include windows11 in my workflow.
Hence trying to find a cross platform solution.
Obsidian is the most common option coming to me... but i am yet to figure out how two instances can be synced. (dont want subscription services of any kind).

Tried editing my notes in web browser.. but its very counter intuitive. first verify and unlock apple account all the time time to be used in edge. And reading is painful & then if edited.. its destroying my formatting when check back in native notes app.

Please suggest a long term solution.
TIA

Obsidian is great, have plenty of add-ons. You can be customized as per your taste but don't look deep into this. It is rabbit hole. I would say give it a try to OneNote, it is really powerful and cross platform. It support top tier features top of my head like sync, insert pdf, annotation, pic, comment, nested document etc.

Try Joplin - https://joplinapp.org/
Or Nextcloud notes, if you want to go the self hosted way.

I use syncthing to sync the obsidian vault between my android phone and windows PC.
