I use a notekeeping app called Joplin. I use it in the style of a Zettelkasten as it also let's me save photos, markdown and so on. It let's me store notes in notebooks and I can add tags to my notes.

There are clients for the web, cli and mobile devices. I self-host mine on my Nextcloud instance so unlike notion where the possibility exists my data may be compromised I have total control over it.

It also supports encryption at rest and right out of the box supports mermaid diagrams and export to PDF.
