To replace Google Keep, you definitely want to checkout https://standardnotes.org/ - Going back to Google Keep would make me feel like a second class citizen today...

As for the Pixel it's ok, just switch to LineageOS, but you'll want F-Droid + Yalp, or F-Droid + Aptoide if you feel adventurous (awesome project but they are just getting started.

Drive... I'd recommend Nextcloud, but then you need to choose a provider since it's decentralised. If you're in Europe I'd say woelkli.com, if you're in Asia or America sorry I don't know what to recommend but I'm sure there are good options. Nextcloud will do a lot more for you if you need (CalDAV, CardDAV, Password manager, Bookmarks manager, etc).

I use (and pay for) Standard Notes. The philosophy of the project is amazing which is the main reason I support it. Currently it lacks some of the features I would need to commit 100% to it. But, it's slowly and steadily improving.

If we can get support for self-contained inline images/attachments, and inter-note linking then I'll be all-in.

Standard Notes looks interesting, but isn't the root issue that these services tend to drift over time into places we don't like? Evernote, Apple Notes, etc.

Would it be better to just use something like Emacs org mode and store the data in .git?

Check out some of the principals of Standard Notes [1]. It's built to avoid this exact problem. I've been using it for over a year after migrating from OneNote and highly recommend it.

It looks like you can self host:

I want to double up on everybody else's comment here— thanks for this. It looks great.

I use Apple Notes, Keep, and email myself stuff all the time.

I don't think I'll stop that, but I can at least keep a singular source now. I might even self host...

Thank you for the recommendation for a Google Keep replacement, I've migrated over to standard notes.

Wow, what a great tool!
