I need some quick way to transfer texts between my phone and some remote device, and vice-versa, I avoid cloud features but in this case it's a game changer to me.

It could be literally just a text editor with zero features. But I need to be able to access it via web on Desktop, and via app on Android.

I tried Notesnook but that's overkill for me. I don't need encryption, it's just some random notes.

.

Joplin: https://joplinapp.org/

But:

Hmmmm I was gonna say they have no web app, but it appears they do:

https://app.joplincloud.com/

Jotty: https://jotty.page/

But:

It's self hosted, and has no android app. You can do the browser app thing tho

Anpther solution (but no web app) is signal which can send a message to yourself. That's whay I use when I just need to get a url or something like that over quick.

Joplin has an Android app. You don't necessarily need a server, I sync them with Syncthing.

I currently use joplin, but I also mentioned jotty which I tried but didn't like. Jotty doesn't have an android app.

I sync joplin to a self hosted s3 via garage. The big thing I like about this setup, is that sync is near instant, as opposed to waiting for syncthing to sync.

I do use syncthing for pretty much everything else though, like keepassxc or exported backups of my joplin notes. But, I onlu activate it occasionally since it's a battery hog.
