I’m looking to move away from Microsoft apps and I’m wondering what note-taking apps you all prefer. I’m looking for something secure and private. (Not a paper notebook though.) Thanks.

After years with Obsidian, I've found that Emacs/Org offers the flexibility and power I need. Using Denote for note management, Xeft for searching my old vaults, and DEVONThink To Go for mobile access.
The transition wasn't without challenges, but the customization possibilities are endless.

I never maintaned such elaborate systems of notes as the process felt like work. I usually take raw, metadata-less notes I have an immediate or short-medium term need for, and archive only a fraction of them.

Now the subtitle—in addition to showing the timestamps—contains a location pin icon for the origin GPS coordinates, and a globe icon for the last modified version GPS coordinates.
These are set manually, just to keep things more intentional and optimized, via two new ViewToolbar buttons: fetch current coordinates (for the most recent coordinates) … and set created coordinates, which will populate fields for a tiddler's origin coords.
The subtitle icons themselves function as buttons, which re-direct to a note that is generated via a template containing a geomap widget, and the coordinates as the note title, stored when either of the two ViewToolbar buttons is pressed.

after meeting up with and chatting with @liaizon about geotagging and note-taking … I've come up with a nice way to integrate geotags into my #TiddlyWiki
Thanks to @Jermolene GeoSpatial plugin, I was about to create some metadata gui elements which reveal a note's origin GPS coordinates, and its latest revisions GPS coordinates, by modifying the subtitle shadow tiddler.
