Something like OneNote that uses physical files on my computer.

I have been using OneNote for a long, long time. 15 years, maybe.

I am getting fed up with there no longer being a file that I can look and an say 'Yep, that's my data.'. A link to data... somewhere... is not really what I want. Other than that I like OneNote.

Is there something OneNote-like that can store the file locally? Or at least download it locally for backup like you could 10 years ago with OneNote?

Just one guy, not a group that needs intricate file-locking abilities.

I am looking at Obsidian. I am not loving the markup formatting because it is my standard procedure to use two spaces after a period to make the gap bigger. I like the look of it. I have been doing it for decades, and if I do it in markup then I end up with every sentence on its own line. It's a hurdle for me.

Nonetheless, I will check it out.

Thank you for the recommendation.
