Ask HN: Self-Hosted or Encrypted Notes/Todo App Like Notion.so or Workflowy

6 points by 55555 7y ago ↗ HN

Does anyone use an app to plan their 'projects' that's either self-hosted or encrypted? I'm not a huge fan of putting all my most personal information on someone else's server.

Every time I look into this I'm not able to find any option with the same productivity benefits as the mainstream options, so I would love to hear about your setups.

This option, and also Inkdrop (on the front page yesterday just after I asked the question), look great! Thank you

I have also been looking for something similar. I currently use quiver but I'm always looking for another offline alternative. I like notion and bear but I don't like the idea of syncing my data to an unknown source.

Bear uses Apple's CloudKit to sync to your iCloud and the Bear Notes people don't have access to your data.

You can combine it with your own Nextcloud instance or install Cryptomater and use Dropbox et al.
