I have no idea, as you’ve not linked to any information at all about it. What’s wrong with Obsidian?
I don’t know what criteria requires iOS devs to display this, but comparing the two privacy disclaimers; Zen Notes may look at user content and Obsidian doesn’t.
For Obsidian, isn’t the issue a little more complex if you use any plugins? I doubt many plugin authors are scraping data, but it is my understanding that they could.
Hmm. I had not checked the app store ‘App Privacy’ entry, I thought that this could have been a worthy competitor to Obsidian.
I’ve had my eye on zen notes, but haven’t tried it. A couple of questions:
- Why not use Obsidian?
- What Obsidian capabilities do you need to replace?
I use Obsidian, but a good FOSS alt would be good.
Is Obsidian not FOSS? Or do you mean you want more options? https://github.com/obsidianmd
It’s proprietary. The repo is plugins and APIs and stuff.
Oh, thank you, I thought it was FOSS
I did too. That is until I scoured the github repo for the source code 😂
I use Joplin.
Joplin is great but it is not an alt for Obsidian
It’s missing?
I use Memos if you are looking for a FOSS alternative. I use it across devices and through my VPN when I am away from home.
Memos is intriguing but also really strange. It looks more like a social media platform than a notes app. Can you explain what you like about this? How do you organize notes when everything is just on a timeline?
I personally have not been using it that long, I just got fed up with whatever I was using before. Yes I agree there looks to be some social aspect to it for maybe a family or group of people to use together, I have not had any issues with it syncing across devices so I am happy with it for the time being.
i have tried it, i guess it does the job, altough i don’t like the gui that much compared with obsidian. but that’s a matter of taste i guess. i’ll keep using obsidian for now i think.
