AIUI Joplin effectively does that; its synchronization abilities boil down to "Integrate with file synchronization tools that don't natively create sync folders on your phone so you don't have to pay for a pro Dropbox account".

I just set up a test sync, and the files in my Dropbox Apps/Joplin folder are just Markdown and JSON (there appear to be some dotfiles, but I'll bet they just cache the database graph etc).

Well thanks, but on Android it demands "full network access", so it does want to do something on the internet :|

I suppose it's possible they want to use the sync service's API rather than the app? Web stuff is really the wrong end of the stack for me, so not sure what the "right" decision there would be.

See my reply to jszymborski for my problem with that.
