I second google keep, but I trust it way more with my data ignoring the uneasy feeling that it might be exposed.

A linux friendly solution would be to host your own git repository or use unison -- the problem really starts with android and web-browser friendly solutions.

For git -- there are plenty of frontend, you can just get a paid github account, or set up your own gitlab instance.
I'm not aware of any frontends to unison.

Another alternative -- ownCloud. This is probably what you want, but you need to set up your own PHP webserver, which is a pain. I think they might have a docker image for that.
I've set it myOwnCloud once, but I wanted to use it under different circumstances -- desktop sync, for which it was too slow.

I found this after quick googling -- http://alternativeto.net/software/google-keep/?platform=self-hosted

Laverna seems really interesting -- https://laverna.cc/
There's an android app for it -- https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/releases

However the android app doesn't seem to be in the app store.

Hello!

I'm sure members of this forum have heard of this but I just found out
that Evernote has updated their privacy policy
(<https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/235660588>) to allow "some
Evernote employees to exercise oversight of machine learning
technologies applied to account content, subject to the limits described
below, for the purposes of developing and improving the Evernote
service." The notice goes on to say, "While our computer systems do a
pretty good job, sometimes a limited amount of human review is simply
unavoidable in order to make sure everything is working exactly as it
should."
(<http://www.computerworld.com/article/3150469/cloud-computing/evernote-changes-its-privacy-policy-and-once-again-alarms-its-users.html>)

I was wondering if there are any Linux-friendly alternatives to Evernote
that members of this forum would recommend? Ideally, I would want
"cloud" access so I can add notes both from an Android app and from a
web browser app. There are other features, like image capture, which
would be nice but I know that can be replicated in other ways. The
caveat would be that my information is encrypted or secured from the
issue above. Is this even possible?

Thanks,

Brad
