I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there's noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?

Obsidian. Silver Bullet is a FOSS alternative, but I’m not sure if they do toggles or something that works like it. And I really like my toggle-like functionality. I happily use callouts to simulate toggles in Obsidian.

Joplin is another FOSS alternative to Obsidian. I've been using it for years; it let's you encrypt your notes in place so they can't be read without the client having the password to access them.

Obsidian stores everything as regular markdown files so even if it disappears out of existence one day the files will still be usable. I personally use cryptomator to encrypt my sensitive obsidian vault. And use syncthing to sync the other vault between devices.
