Currently moving my partner and I from Google to the Proton Duo plan.

Mail import is great, the calendar is decent (we only miss the month overview widget on Android), the missing Linux Drive client is a pain (I tried to mount a subfolder with rclone and am now getting 429d).

Some unsolved usecases we have are on mobile:

  • We use Google Keeps to share lists and take notes, and would like a mobile, non-Google, syncing notes app with a widget.Rsync is OK, we don't need it to constantly synchronize, daily is enough.

  • We use Google Sheets on mobile to track things like board games and cat weight. Any ideas for a syncing mobile-friendly sheets app?

I've tried Standard Notes but it doesn't seem to have an Android widget.

Cryptpad UI is too cluttered on mobile.

Any ideas?

For mobile, I use QuillPad as my keep replacement

For sheets, there's OnlyOffice or Collabora

For keep, there are a lot of options. NotallyX allows you to use an external storage folder, but you would need to figure out how to sync it (Syncthing should work if you set it up correctly)

Joplin, Obsidian, and Standard Notes are popular recommendations, and if you are self hosting there are some other excellent ones.

However, you might consider a notes/memo webapp like tinylist, which is great and easy to use if not as fully featured as some alternatives.

For what it's worth, Proton owns Standard Notes. I think they largely used the acquisition to make Proton Docs and there is no perk like free or additional access to Standard Notes than any non-Proton user has.

I use Obsidian which syncs to my home server.

Only office could be one solution for the sheets.

Dark Notes is hand down the best Keep alternative.

It has local backups but you can sync them with Syncthing or similar.

There’s Collabora Office for sheets.
