I'm looking for recommendations for a note app. I'd like it to be cross platform (Android 13 and Ubuntu 22.04), to be able to set reminders, and I'd really like for it to be able to import notes from ColorNote on Android. I have over 4,500 of them, it would be a lot to input manually.

I've been looking at a few lists, such as https://itsfoss.com/note-taking-apps-linux/

My current solution is emulation. Or at least I'm trying to figure out emulation, but I'm having issues with Waydroid and I don't know how to solve them yet.

Edit: Joplin seems perfect, thank you very much!

You can try Joplin. enter image description here Image source: Joplin Website

It is cross platform, and supports synchronization of notes and todos. Moreover, it is free and open source.

While Joplin cloud requires a paid subscription, you can synchronize your notes for free with a free Dropbox/Onedrive account.

It supports Markdown and LaTeX, and also supports inserting photos and documents within the notes.

import notes from ColorNote on Android

Joplin supports importing notes in all these formats. This post covers how to import a note from ColorNote.

To install it, run the installation script with the following command (don't use sudo):

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

It's great to hear that Joplin is working perfectly for you!

If you're ever looking for an alternative in the future, Zoho Notebook is another solid option. It’s cross-platform, works on both Android and Ubuntu, and allows you to easily organize your notes and set reminders. While it doesn't natively import from ColorNote, you could always try exporting and importing in a different format.

Here’s a link to check it out:https://www.zoho.com/notebook/notebook-for-linux.html
