    Obsidian seems great, but one important caveat. Google Keep is free and uses Google's cloud service to sync between devices as a matter of course... but Obsidian ties sync into their backup/cloud service which is $8/month. So you're going to probably be using Google's cloud to sync anyway... And if you want privacy you'll also have to set up something like cryptomator and... it's a lot less attractive for multi-device users- i.e. everyone

    Onenote is far better than Google Keep since you can really organize all of your notes. Google keep is just plain and simple sticky notes

    Google Keep is like a corkboard where you post your sticky notes, and put them out once irrelevant. OneNote is like your notebook where you jot down things.

    OneNote is a full and robust application with lots of features, where Keep is pretty basic sticky notes with tags. I came looking for an alternative to Keep and I already know the amount of features in OneNote is too much -- a user looking for simple software that just gets out of the way like Keep does isn't going to enjoy it.

    I have to say, it's high quality and still not very well known. It's like Joplin! Unfortunately, it's in English though.

    It's very similar to google keep, offering the same functionality and even importing notes from google keep (from linux), making the switch much easier
