Note taking app with WebDav synchronization


I am looking for a good self hosted notes taking app (self hosted via WebDav, I use OwnCloud)

Some tools that I have currently ruled out - and the reasons why. Happy to be mistaken:

Laverna looks alright but it doesn't support WebDav, and I didn't find a straight forward way to sync it via, for instance, a "database" file or similar.

Tagspaces can be synced just by syncing folders but saves the tags in the filenames (not sure I can think of any scenario in which that would be acceptable). The PRO version saves the tags in "sidecar" files, but the functionality is marked as beta and the PRO version is more expensive than Evernote - it means paying quite a bit for less functionalities (even though the idea behind tagspaces looks quite unique) and hoping that it works.

OpenNote and PaperWork projects seem not very mature or active either.

I don't seem to find any other good tool out there - whether paid or not.

Thanks


Solution

  • You can use ownCloud with ownCloud Notes (https://github.com/owncloud/notes) in the web, it uses WebDAV for syncing. And it integrates with QOwnNotes (http://www.qownnotes.org/) on the desktop. There also is an iOS and Android app that talks to ownCloud Notes.
