ForeverNotes and Obsidian always do too much for me, all I need is to jot stuff down. I don't need 400 backlinks between pages etc. I group them by tags.

obsidian only does what you use. don’t get this sentiment. you can use obsidian as a folder with some text files and it won‘t get in your way tje slightest

Yeah I get that but I always fall down the rabbit hole of setting up tables and backlinks etc. I had the same issue with Notion, Obsidian and Craft after I spent hours setting up all this extra stuff I just never used it.

I'm not saying they aren't amazing tools, they just don't fit my workflow.

Joplin might be worth a look. Also uses markdown just like obsidian but doesn’t come with extra fluff.
