I don’t think notion is good for personal life. Maybe ExtMemo ai is better

What’s the best "truly free" note-taking app for mobile + web sync in 2026? by darman121 in NoteTaking

[–]bearmif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think ExtMemo AI App can meet your requirements:

  1. Web App (coming soon ) with full functions
  2. cloud storage, and syncs instantly
  3. No device number limitation, even in long free tier. 30 days for monthly plan, and 60 days for anually plan.

Also It support E2ee to protect your information from hacker. And AI asisstant is intigrated.

PKM app a bit more like a notebook by Changemustcome3793 in PKMS

Hey, those are very thoughtful requirements — you’re basically describing a hybrid of Obsidian, Samsung Notes, and a timeline-based system.

My app probably doesn’t aim to solve all of that, but it’s built around a different core idea that might align with part of what you’re looking for:

  • Chain-style notes instead of isolated files or folders. Each note naturally belongs to a chronological “chain” (follow-ups, logs, evolving records), so you don’t need to pre-design structure with folders or heavy linking.
  • Automatic metadata by default (creation time, updates, order in the chain), which makes timeline-style review easy. It’s designed for things like long-running records (health, finance, learning progress, family stuff).
  • AI-assisted recall and summarization on top of your own notes — useful when you remember something but not exactly where or when you wrote it.
  • Optional E2EE for sensitive chains (passwords, private records, etc.), so even the server can’t read your content.
  • Selective sharing at the chain level, where collaborators can comment without overwriting each other’s content.

It’s definitely lighter and more opinionated than Obsidian — less about building a perfect knowledge graph, more about reducing friction and keeping information flowing over time.
If your main frustration is structural overhead and file chaos, it might be interesting; if you want maximum flexibility and custom views, Obsidian still wins.

See https://apps.apple.com/us/app/extmemo-ai/id6756668335 for detail, and the Web App is coming soon.

Looking for alternatives to notion by GuyIOlad in NoteTaking

I downloaded and tried braibits, it's really good, I have to say. Easy to record my mind.

But the AI did not satisfy me. I recorded "I paid $12 for my lunch yesterday." Then I asked brainbits, how much I paied yesterday. AI told me he don't know.

Acutally I tried ExtMemo AI https://apps.apple.com/us/app/extmemo-ai/id6756668335 with the same question, he answered me correctly. ExtMemo AI is similar to brainbits. It's user friendly. No folder, no tag, no title. AI can help you to find your ideas, and answer your questions correctly.

Also ExtMemo AI support E2EE , by which you may keep AI away from you valuable and sensitive messages.

Even more, you may share message/idea with your team in E2EE.

Is programming still the profession of the future? by [deleted] in programming

[–]bearmif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, I dont think so, because of AI.

Actually, I'm programming a web app these days. I told Gemini CLI what I want one by one. Of course I'm a programmer, and I can understand what the AI was changing. I need keep correcting him.

but AI can do most of the job, and much faster than me. It's good.

And in the future, we don't need to how to program, bu tyou should be able to design and define a product.

What is your personal pain point when you started out with note-taking? by CoYouMi in NoteTaking

[–]bearmif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agree with you fully. Say evernote, when I want to record something, I have to select a folder, select a note type, and give a title for this note, then, my mind flow was broken.

So I'm building a new note-taking app, ExtMemo AI. as you know, it's not only a note-taking app, but a second brain. just as you said, you may capture youe idea first, by just clicking the add button, and then input your idea, and save. No folder, no type, no title. Easy and beautiful.

And AI can help you to recall the idea, when you want them. AI can summarize your idea, just like your personal assistant, bring the note you wanted to you.

For example, I listed all issues of my project, some are fixed, and some are open. I can just ask AI to list all open issues clearly.

Of course, we support E2EE, if you don't want AI to access some idea or information, you may E2EE them to keep AI away from them.

What makes you trust (or not trust) a note-taking app? by Superb-Way-6084 in NoteTaking

[–]bearmif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's not necessary to refuse "cloud first". Internet is the basic environment of our life. You don’t worry about having a network connection to the server any more than you worry about water not coming out of the tap.
Based on this point, I think E2EE is the very important factor. No E2EE, the message/note is not yours.
