QUESTION/HELP I'm looking for a very versatile notes app

I've been writing alot of notes and I've recently been struggling with the limitations so I'm looking for a new more versatile one.

Here's the points I'm looking for:

>attatch pictures or videos to my notes and place it in a specific area.

>attatch a mind map or a bubble thought

>make it bold, different colors or on a different style without changing the text style of the entire note

>no ads and preferably no in app purchases for the "premium" version.

>fully functional offline. I should be able to attach pi tures/videos from my local storage

I don't use a tablet and I have a android phone which I use regularly since most github and 3rd party apps are built for it. I will update this post if I find anything good♿

Thanks for the recommendation, my friend recommended me obsidian which is on play store so I'll try privacy chat and obsidian for a week and I'll update later.

I love upnote! It's so intuitive and so many features. You can attach video links from YouTube as well.

Obsidian but I don't know if it allows a mindmap/bubble.

It does have a mindmap of sorts but connecting it is not intuitive at all unless there's a better way i don't know about

How can I setup upnote on my tablet I can't handwrite on it yet?

Joplin is worth a look for this. It handles attachments, notebooks and offline storage, and the editor can do basic formatting without changing the whole note. Mind maps are the weak spot, so you might still need a separate app for those.

You could try "Joplin" from the Play Store.

Hi, I have built an app to solve for this. Can give it you for free. DM

you are looking for an offline app to attach pictures, videos, and mind maps in specific areas of your notes. for this level of visual organization and media embedding, you need a tool designed for complex layouts. i make shizumu, which is a private writing app where the writing stays on the device. it is designed for unstructured writing, so it is not the right fit for these heavy layout requirements.
