What tools do you use for your personal knowledge management system?

I use Obsidian for note taking and pretty much anything I need to write down. I like it because they're just markdown files and it's easy to back up with Git.

It also has lots of extensions too. Including vim!

Logseq. It's free, open source, actively developed, has mobile apps, and most importantly your notes are text files stored on your computer. It replaced the following apps for me:

- Note taking (Bear app)

- Task management (Things)

- Journaling (Day One)

- Bookmarking (Instapaper)

- Personal CRM (Contacts)

I use Obsidian and I also gave notion a try.

The good thing about notion is that yiu can access your notes on your phone, tablet, ... . However, the user experience is so bad. Notion has very slow UI and it hasn't got any better for a couple of month.

Now, I am back to obsidian and sync my files to Proton Drive. This isn't comfortable though because proton Drive has no sync features yet, but it's good enough for me. Most of my work is done on my laptop anyway.

Obsidian for notes, wikis, and, anything that needs to live for more than a week. This is, by far, the most used knowledge management app used by me.

Simplenote's free, one-click web publishing feature for single pages I need to check many time or share with some people.

For stuff that needs to be stored for less than a week, I use Notes app by Simple Mobile Tools.

For utility stuff, I just use Samsung Notes. For stuff like ISP customer ID.

Sadly I haven't found anything as convenient as Onenote. I take a lot of screen clippings from pdfs/powerpoints/zooms/articles and paste them into notes to then rearrange, annotate, write around them. Ctrl-E opens search across all my notebooks and notes including OCR from the images. Onenote takes care of sync to my phone and other devices.
