TagSpaces
TagSpaces is privacy aware, cross-platform file browser with note-taking capabilities. It helps you organize your files and folders with tags and colors. Free downloads are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
With the built-in advanced markdown editor, you can create notes that can include tables, todo-lists, math formulas, or diagrams. TagSpaces can connect to any folder on your hard drive and provide a convenient way to browse its content. You have the ability to add labels called tags to any file or folder. Using tags along the folder hierarchy allows you to have cross-references in the folders. The built-in search allows you to find files with any combination of tags. On top of that in the Pro version, you can add descriptions and geo-tags to files and folders. The Pro version gives you the ability to turn every folder to a Kanban board, which can be useful in many ways.
With the TagSpaces Web Clipper, you can collect web pages and bookmarks from the Web.

TheSecureNote
TheSecureNote is a privacy-first notebook built for people who take their personal data seriously. Unlike conventional note-taking apps, it uses zero-knowledge encryption — everything is encrypted directly in your browser before it ever leaves your device. Your password never touches the servers, and your notes are stored as unreadable encrypted data.
No accounts. No email required. No trackers. Whether you're storing passwords, journaling privately, saving business ideas, or writing sensitive information, TheSecureNote gives you a safe, minimal, distraction-free space — built on the belief that privacy should be the default, not a premium feature.
