Logseq
An outliner for notes and daily journals, stored as plain files on your computer.
Instead of Notion, OneNote

Logseq keeps your notes as Markdown or Org files in a folder you own, and links them together as you write, so a day's journal becomes a map of what you know. It is open source and works offline.
It asks you to think in bullet points, which some people love and others find tiring. We have not checked its sync options closely, and its development pace has varied.
- Notes live as plain files in a folder you own
- Linked notes and daily journals, in outline form
- Not for everyone, since everything is a bullet
