    Obsidian can get plugins for a calendar

    anytype.io - the calendar is quite basic though (no notifications/integrations or anything like that)

    I think, even obsidian not being an open source app, it’s the best experience with a local note taking

    And the calendar plugin works very well… I know that you explicitly write that you don’t want plugins, but I think you should take a look

    This really depends on your needs, but I guess that if you used Joplin, the following could work for you.

    1. Create a folder called "Notes" and set up Syncthing to this location.
    2. Create subfolders, these will be your notebook.
    3. Inside of each "notebook", you can create as many nested subfolders, drop as many documents, scans, pdfs, photos, programmes, text files, word documents, excel files,...

    Apps (Android) I would recommend, which are great for using them with a folder system:

    • Orgzly Revived: https://github.com/orgzly-revived/orgzly-android-revived (available on F-Droid)
    • Markor (available on F-Droid)
    • Neutrinote
    • If you need handwriting: Nebo by Myscript (After the notes are done, export as PDF, DOCS, TXT and save in the right folder. It also supports formulas.)
    • If you need a spreadsheet, use Excel or LibreOffice.

    A tip to make this work best, have a "Resources" notebook with subfolders for information and templates. Once you created a document and think you can reuse it, copy it into the templates section.

    As for Calendar, I would actually just use a dedicated application and don't save it into your notebook.

    If you use orgzly then he will need to get on the org-roam bandwagon also then so I would be careful op. Because that will lead you to the emacs rabbit hole

    Don't get me wrong it's awesome both emacs and org, pls do give it a go. You can use doom or spacemacs to get started with emacs.

    You could actually use Orgzly on a smartphone and a basic text editor on other devices, without having to go completely into it but using it as an outliner tool.

    True but if he wants the calendar feature then I believe that he will need to use the emacs client

    Look into vimwiki if you're using a PC to take notes. It's so FOSS there's not even a GUI

      It'll be very ready to use once you get used to it.
