Best/usable free Evernote alternative (self.asklemmy)

Ok, Evernote committed hara-kiri, so time to move on. (no way I'll pay for ransomware) Any tips for good alternatives for Linux/Android platform? My wife used Nimbus note a while back, recovered her account there, ColorNote pops up when looking for alternatives as well.

Also, my wife has about 15k of recepies in evernote, is there an option to export them all and recover them? If not, she knows the most important ones by heart and/or where she found them.

We both run Linux, but I haven't found an evernote application that is still maintained for Linux. (I have a Windows VM somewhere to battle shenanigans like this)

I recently tried UpNote which is pretty cross platform.

Maybe give that a try and if you like it, they have a lifetime license.

(I'm not affiliated with them but I've tried every major note taking app and recently landed on this one that I've been pretty happy with)

The AppImage route seems the least poluting one on the Linux systems, so we'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, sounds like an option as well. (The most promising at the moment)

Quick check shows no web interface. (or we can't find it) Linux app goes via snap (yuck) or appimage (never heard off). Also the clipper (which we don't need, we just want to enter text) requires the app installed on the computer. It's still the closest thing I've seen so far though.
