I keep envelopes from mail I received and write notes on the empty side. On the rare occasion where I want to actually retain the note, I retype it into one of several txt documents I have open in my Notepad++.

The Android version of Obsidian. I have the Full version on the desktop, synced with SyncThing.
I'm afraid of getting locked into anything so I do all my notes in raw markdown and organize it with vscode. I tried all sorts of things before I settled on this way but I've never looked back. Simplicity is king.
Obsidian is what I use. I used Joplin and Simplenote in the past.
I'm using Obsidian on Android and on Linux and sync my notes with Nextcloud. Nextcloud also has its on note taking app but I prefer Obsidian. I also love the canvas feature. I also love the fact that the files in Obsidian are Markdown files. You can still edit them with any text editor if needed.
depends:
research projects: there's one folder on disk, dump everything there (including notes.txt file) and make regular backups (via git).
for regular, mundane tasks: either write it on a text file on my android device's file explorer, or write myself a message in telegram.
I have a few methods.
- Post-it notes on the desk/wallet/steering wheel etc.
- Simple Note Multiplatform; android, windows, iphone, and everyone's favorite ~~mac~~ linux. Like the name says, its simple and syncs. Operated or owned by same people behind WordPress.com and source is on github...although cloud synced I assume 0 privacy or backup.
- Notes I actually want long term end up on paper or a text document.
- Calendar events with email reminders.
- Email to self (has low success rate)
- Set alarm or timmer. The random alarm jogs my memory.
