It's completely local if you want, and you absolutely don't need to pay money for syncing. The entire app is absolutely free and fully functional. If you want free syncing you can either use iCloud, or else the RemotelySave plugin with something like Syncthing or Duplicati.

What are the advantages of using the plugin (Remotely Save) over just using dumb sync with Syncthing? Conflicts I assume?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com -5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Not everyone has Apple and the ability to mount cloud (iCloud) as local storage.

[–] Dhrystone@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I use Windows on the desktop and iCloud works fine.

Android?

[–] Dhrystone@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not for free. You have to use Obsidian Sync (paid sub) for Android.

And that's the issue I pointed out earlier.
No point in mounting iCloud on Windows if I can't use it on the go with Android.

[–] Dhrystone@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago

Yep. If you have Android just use Joplin.
