Key features:

  • PDF annotation
  • S-pen/stylus support
  • Sync (preferably NOT just via Nextcloud…looking at you, Saber)
  • Handwriting recognition is a plus, but not required

As mention above, Saber fits the criteria well, but I don’t use Nextcloud and that is the only sync available in that app (unless something has changed in the last couple of weeks). I have a Galaxy phone and tablet that both support S-pen and Samsung Notes is excellent, and free, but they’re not exactly privacy concious, so I’m looking elsewhere. I had considered the Excalidraw plugin for Obsidian, but I’m not sure if that works on the Android version of the app.

    ah geez, you can on mine too. I just didn’t scroll down far enough. All I saw were the Samsung specific shortcuts!

        Yeah, now I just need to find a privacy conscious alternative to Samsung Notes! ;)

        I may have to give up on my Nextcloud hate and run Saber. It really is a great app. Just a shame to tie it to only one service.
