I started to using Obsidian, and it's very cool. But I subscribed to the sync plan, though. I don't trust that much in my own sync solution.

I distrust foreign cloud solutions more. Especially for my personal notes. But I love that obsidian gives you that freedom to decide!

I used to use Standard Notes, but it falls short in some aspects. I think you can encrypt notes with your own key before send to Obsidian servers, so it is more secure. I just use the service to avoid conflicts between versions and that kind of stuff. It would be nice if has an option to run the service in my own infrastructure like Standard Notes has, it would be the best of both worlds

Well, you could do exactly that with syncthing. Its a bit tricky to set up on an android device (due to access restrictions) but once its working, it works really well!
