I think Apple Notes may be the change we make. Everything else i am seeing is trying to incorporate google docs and a lot of other things into a sticky note app.
Go for it! It’s not as feature rich as the competitors but once you get the hang of it and have a routine it’s great. There’s also no additional cost. Others oftentimes have a premium subscription tier.
My wife and I use it for all of our lists / notes. They can be shared between us and you can be notified of changes. It’s been super convenient
I went from Keep to Joplin and eventually to Obsidian.
Onenote is a game changer. Works on all devices and web.
Is it in any way better than keep? I don't really see an advantage in handing my data to microsoft rather than google
It literally fits what you asked for. All platforms, web, etc. You didn't mention anything about your data.
It's a massive notebook, way more features than keep, which I also use, but fits what you asked for perfectly.
Could try Evernote also.
I am not OP.
It may fit the idea of degoogling in law, but not spirit. In pretty much any of the reasons you might want to degoogle, microsoft is no better than it here. You are falling for the same carrot again, to feel the same stick of monetization whenever microsoft decides they have grown that product enough. All the while feeding the same data into the same profile of you held by the same information brokers to mess you up now or later in all the ways information that should never have been public may.
I'm sure the extra features are nice though
Evernote seems nice, for basic notes I can also recommend nextcloud, which you might have already and where the fact notes are saved as files also grants you more freedom to use them with random tools or scripts, if you so whish
looks like mavinote may be what you need
Mavinote appears to be Android only. Checking out standardnote.

I'm not familiar, can you explain a bit more about what it is and what you use it for, maybe it might help folk to give suggestions.
Joplin is an option but may have more features that you do not need and you can pay for Joplin Cloud if you want to share notes with others.
Keep is also a Progressive Web App (PWA) which means you should be able to install it from your browser's menu, without needing a native app and irrespective of your phone's OS (iOS or Android).
Just go to https://keep.Google.com and then check if your browser menu has an "Install" option.
I already have keep installed, I am looking for a non Google alternative.
