Does anyone else use this way of taking notes?

No thanks. I'll just keep emailing myself.
Like a boss.

My go to way of taking notes is sending messages to myself. Previously with Signal's "Note to self" and now with my own channel with Element. It is fast way of taking notes, but horrible in long run since you cannot group notes or add tags or anything else that you would expect from good note taking tool. I have Nextcloud notes, but I still do it since I am used to it and it is fast way of syncing notes with mobile and PC. Anyone else has interesting ways of keeping notes?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]For quick notes I use unsaved Notepad++ whenever on Windows, and random text files on desktop on Linux made with KWrite.
For more organized notes I use self-hosted MediaWiki instance.

I use Simplenote for all my notes, tags, markup, syncs between all my devices. I really enjoy it!

I'm all about Signal's Note to Self.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I hate that it doesn't send a notification though. I used the delay send feature on Textra for reminders but since switching to Signal it's useless for that. I just want to send myself a message delayed by a few hours and get a notification when it sends. Only thing missing is the notification.

You can delay messages to yourself with Signal if you long-press the send button. I also run my own email server, and schedule messages in the future to remind me about things.
It doesn't send a notification though unfortunately.

Came here to post that. Such a damn convenient way to send notes and links between my phone and desktop.
If you are interested try Localsend, its even less effort than sharing via a messenger and its peer to peer. You can enable auto downloads for trusted peers then it will be sent directly to a folder of your choice once you send from your phone.

Having a number of phone numbers in my private PBX available, I set one as an "audio note" system. I can call that number, there is no prompt but the beep, I can leave a message, and get it in my mail as an mp3.
