    Thanks for sharing your favorites, I will definitely try some of them out.

    I have tried Kvaesitso launcher before, However as I don’t use many widgets I really don’t think it was made for me. (the only widget I use is the music widget and I can access that via a notification)

    Also in terms of notes apps, I really need something that syncs effortlessly with no setting up required (preferably for free). My notes app is probably my most important app I use, and I need it to not need both devices to be active to sync (which Syncthing does need).

    SimpleNote fullfills all of these requirements. My only problem with it is it’s poor markdown implementation.

    I still love syncthing for other things and I also use what I think is your favorite notes app for non on-the-go notes and to copy in important simplenote notes. As it has much better markdown then simplenote and better organization features and local storage of files.

      I hear you. I have spent a while going down the rabbit hole for note apps.

      If you want better markdown with sync capabilities, you may be interested in Joplin. It’s very similar to that one app. Though it’s not completely effortless, it is fairly simple. It’s a fairly quick read, too: https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/sync/

      Speaking of that app, if you’re interested, there are community plugins through that app that let you sync through cloud services, which would allow you to cut out the Simplenote middleman. Just search for sync in the plugins and it should be the first one. From what I’ve read of Nextcloud, it’s open source and you get 2gb free for a single account.
