Perfect timing i was just looking for privacy respective digital note taking app

Imagine hearing about these awesome apps for the first time, despite regularly looking at the App Store for cool stuff. Thank you so much. Great video.

Great video! For you office fans, remember when Michael asked Dwight why he kept a diary and Dwight said “to keep secrets from my computer “.

Henry and Team, I work so much now that I have to play catch up with your vids and it's worth every minute. Thanks as always for all that you all do!

I was so excited to see Standard Notes on Top 2! I've switched from Google Keeps to Standard Notes yesterday. It was super easy to import my Google Keeps data on it. It has both Linux and Android version of it. It's Awesome 🙌

Obsidian is great! I do wish it was open source, but given it's completely offline, that is less of an issue for me. With Obsidian and Syncthing, I can still carry all my notes around on all devices.

Great video, informative and humor was on point with the little video clips and thought bubbles. 10/10

Thanks a lot bro for making such videos. My thoughts are that signal is still the best for day to day tasks like making grocery lists etc or storing links. However, obsidian is all in one where you can do much more from making notes to trip itineraries, coding and anything in between. It may look complex at first but after some tutorials obsidian is really the king of all note making apps.

I will stick to standard notes as I recently bought a 5 years plan. Obsidian would be too complicated for me. Thanks for the video!

Great video! One question though: What‘s your view on obsidian regarding the lack of open sourcing and also the obsidian sync feature in terms of security and privacy?

[humansoul]

Thank you! I really needed it!
Can you also do a safest mind mapping apps too?

[dani]

Thank you for the nice Video 👍 A similar video about calendar apps would be awesome! (Or is that topic already covered in one of your videos? Unfortunately I haven't watched all your videos yet)

Please make a video about privacy friendly hand writing apps for shool. Currently I'm using Xodo with all network access blocked, but it just doesn't feels right

[NemoHoes]

Henry, I have a suggestion for the follow up on this video, I think you should do 5 privacy productivity apps 🧐

[matthewhendricks]

What are your thoughts on apple notes now that "advanced data protection" is a thing and end to end encrypts your notes? It seems like for most people, this is now a great option if you have that enabled.

[davidcrawford]

Signal note to self is all that is needed in my simple life.

[KeyPeele]

Thanks for the video! Can you do something similar with calendar apps?
