I’ve found Evernote usefull for compiling resources but I wouldn’t use it for personal things. I liked Standard Notes when I used it but I always go back to markdown and plain text files (Markor).
Big fan of pen and paper though.
I see social media people organizing their entire lives with Notion and that hurts my brain.
For shopping lists, I just text someone and tell them I’m only texting them because I need to make a note for myself.
This is the first I’m hearing about dedicated notes apps. The modern age, eh?
For almost everything else, I use a pen and paper. Unless it’s research, for which I eventually open a word document and start reformulating my notes into sections.
I use notally and turtl. Notally I use as a local checklist making app. Turtl I use to save other types of notes like addresses recipes and things. Turtl also has a desktop app version that connects with the phone one. Notally is available on F-droid.
This is not something I’d expect a normal user to be able to do, but I run my own Nextcloud instance where I store things like my notes and password manager database.
Take my comment with a grain of salt as I don’t have an android phone, but from some quick Reddit searches I’ve seen Obsidian and Joplin recommended. I don’t know if they’d work for what you need, might be worth a look.
I’ve tried a few, but my requirements are a bit more stringent as I want Markdown support and ideally some self-hosted sync function to other devices.
There’s a super bare bones Notes app on F-Droid which has Markdown support, but it doesn’t seem to want to remember my save directory. Obsidian seems ok but it’s way too over the top in terms of a GUI.
Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Standard Notes. I do not bother with Markdown, I just write creatively like how torrent scene groups write those NFO text files if needed.
Also pen and paper. Uni-ball pens like Jetstream and Eye micro are my favourite.
On my phone simple notes and quillnote Computer notepadqq

Obsidian is great
I recommend logseq
just standard apple notes since it syncs across my devices
I use orgzly. It also shows notifications for schedules/deadlines. If you want to stick to markdown, Neutrinote CE is pretty good
markor for notes, opentask for checklists, both synced using nextcloud (in case you decide you do want sync)
I did a long search and this is all that worked 🤷
Markor is the best, and any folder of markdown files can also be synced with syncthing.

I used to use Google notes until I lost loads. Then I stopped trusting it.
Come to think of it, I do send myself emails now and again if I’m out without paper and have an idea.

Personally, I just write markdown files. I don’t use Android, I exclusively use Linux, but I’m sure there’s a markdown editor for Android.
How do you sync/share markdown files between devices, if that’s something you like or need to do?

Standard notes is my favorite

obsidian is cool but proprietary, Joplin started crashing on my laptop and used way too many resources even when it was working
