Is there a cross-platform notepad?

The useage of my PC would be so much easier if there was a way to copy and paste links, notes, scripts, etc to a notepad from my Android (Samsung phone) and open them on my PC with a simple click of an icon. Is there a cross-platform notepad app for Linux/Ubuntu AND Android, please?

I searched Snap Store and the Ubuntu apps with no luck and Google gave me loads of false answers and wasted my time.

I'd go for "ease of access" over security (I'd rather not have to enter passwords every time I open it). There is absolutely nothing personal on the PC, I'll just be sending instructions to myself as I'm only using it to learn more about computers.


Solution 1:

Joplin is great open source, cross platform notes app for all major PC and mobile platforms. It supports markdown and tags.

It's also on the snap store. The Joplin-Desktop by james-carroll is actively maintained probably the one you'd want. The snap store also has a command line variant. Outside of the snap store, it's on flathub, and as an AppImage from their website.

You can host your notes locally on your PC, your own Nextcloud instance, or through something like Dropbox.
