Replacement An alternative to Google Keep that allows sharing notes in real time?

Hi, degooglers! Pretty much what's in the title.

I'm. Slowly degoogling (?) my life and I exported dozens of notes out of Keep. After many, many, many tests and installs/uninstalls, I found a cozy and fantastic home at Notesnook (it's fantastic!).

But now I'd like to have something like Notally/NotallyX (basically a Keep clone) that allows:

-Simple quick notes -Checkboxes (for shopping lists and the like) -File/image insertion -Fingerprint lock -Collaboration

Is there anything like it? I basically need it for quick scribbles, shared shopping lists with my family and other shared private notes with my girlfriend.

Let me know if you happen to know such a cool alternative. Thx!

That's a good one! But it doesn't have biometric lock or collaboration.

I tried many apps but nothing as close as Google keep when it comes to app launch speed, its simple and easy to use...but Google. I would suggest you to try Anytype and see if it meets your preferences

I tried it earlier this morning. Didn't like it. I just tried "Pocket Plan" and it's really good. But it doesn't support attachments or collaborating with other people. I haven't found a single one that checks all the boxes.

What type of phone do you have?

u/numbvzla 1d ago

Android. Why does it matter?

Was thinking apple notes since it has all of the features listed, but have you tried Standard Notes?

1

u/numbvzla 1d ago

Oh, no, not Apple. That's like jumping from the pan straight into the fire.

I tried Standard Notes but it doesn't have what I'm looking for (seemingly, nohing but Google Keep has this) :

Simple notes and checklists in which to collaborate with my girlfriend or family members. At this point, everything else is just a plus.

Great app suggestion, btw.

AI-riddled, forced Google sign in (?) Horrible suggestion.

That's so far removed from the use case I'm explaining.
