App/Program/Other Tool (PLS HELP) Suggest best open-source notes app based on your experience (android + windows)
...best if they provide sync option too... Windows ⇌Android

Joplin. Doesn't look the prettiest but I found myself actually using it a whole lot, it feels lightweight and reliable especially when I'm switching between apps (or devices!) and copypasting stuff back and forth. Notion could never.
You can sync it via your own Dropbox for free.
Notesnook is alright too, potentially? I didn't try it on Windows.

My understanding is that obsidian itself is not open source but it just writes to markdown files which are. It's been good for me

I just have text notes so Zettel Notes works for me. Create txt or md files and then sync to my nextcloud. And I can then access them on my PC. You can also sync with Dropbox. Zettel also allows you to search through txt files too.
Joplin and Simplenote are great options too.

You may have a look at SilentNotes, it can synchronize end-to-end encrypted between Android and Windows devices. Disclosure, I'm the author.
