    TagSpaces reads/saves files locally. You can sync those however you wish. It supports note taking (plain text and html), tagging (labels), text search, and works with many file formats. The basic version (which is v. good) is open source & free; advanced features cost a little. Not perfect, but excellent.

    It's open source, it is a Note Taking application, but utilizing different technology. It doesn't support as many platforms as Laverna, but in what it does, it's a decent enough application.
