Wanna avoid anything having to do with cloud sync, I just want the option to backup/export and store it myself.
Mainly looking for Android apps, but hopefully theres something cross-platform.

You can use joplin without any kind of sync and encrypt the notes. I believe the desktop app also now supports a pin lock on opening the app.
Joplin doesn’t seem to encrypt the local database, only for the cloud sync.
My database is absolutely encrypted and I only local sync it.
Edit: I doubled checked the details of my setup. I am syncing between Android and a mac using Joplin and Nextcloud. I have them set to sync over wi-fi only and the database is encrypted, but it’s not a LAN only connection when syncing.
I did some research. Joplin is not encrypted at rest (but it is encrypted during transit). The TL;DR is that they see no point in at-rest encryption, because disk encryption should already managed by the OS itself.

+1 for Joplin. It’s the best in my opinion. I started with Standard Notes, but immediately ditched it after I found out Joplin provides the same (and more) functionality for free.
