QOwnNotes is a open source (GPL) plain-text file notepad with markdown support and todo list manager for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, that (optionally) works together with the notes application of ownCloud (or Nextcloud). So you are able to write down your thoughts with QOwnNotes and edit or search for them later from your mobile device (like with CloudNotes) or the ownCloud web-service. The notes are stored as plain text files and you can sync them with your ownCloud sync client. Of course other software, like Dropbox, Syncthing, Seafile or BitTorrent Sync can be used too.

QOwnNotes 18.10.1 changelog:
-
changes of the current note outside of QOwnNotes will now not trigger the The current note was modified outside of this application! dialog while editing the current note if the content of the note file wasn"t really modified (for #1041). This was a problem because the Nextcloud / ownCloud sync client seems to write to the note files on some systems even if there were no actual changes to be made, this spawned the dialog if the user was actively editing the note.
