Note app recommendation to replace notion
Hey, I'm looking for a note app to replace notion. The main features I'm looking for are the ability to have different notebooks (or folders), the ability to have notes available offline(something I recently realized notion does not do), the ability so search in notes for words or phrases, and preferably a sync feature to backup notes to a desktop or another device. If anyone has any reccomendations I'd love to hear they and give them a try. Thanks!

I use obsidian on my phone, with the WebDAV sync plugin to my self hosted nextcloud and vim on any pc or laptop. I would recommend to back up all existing notes as markdown files, set up the obsidian vault (it's just a folder) as you plan to use it, and then reintroduce all content from the pc. Otherwise, there might be strange conflicts with the sync plugin.
Hope that helps
I've been reading about Obsidian. How easy is the Android set up? I've got a similar set up to you by the sound of it.
I've been using nextcloud notes forever. Is there a must-have "thing" for Obsidian?
I can't remember exactly, but I think the only problem was that you can't (or at least I was not competent enough) add existing markdown files which are already in nextcloud to the sync process. So instead I added the empty named markdown files in obsidian, triggered the sync, and then populate each file on the desktop. And I was very picky about my folder/vault naming because of my desktop setup (and the rest of my cloud structure), but generally it is really easy to set up if you have tried it once on some dummy data so you don't accidentally ruin something.
I do not use any"thing" apart from the aforementioned sync plugin (called 'remotely save'), as I am very standards compliant with my stuff. But I think the editor is very extendable in comparison to other android options.
