Personally i can recommend http://zim-wiki.org/

you can organize the "media" think in "attachment" and tag them or create page about them, and you can still find the attachment in your file manager

"Zim is a graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki pages. Each page can contain links to other pages, simple formatting and images. Pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, and can have attachments. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a nonexistent page. All data is stored in plain text files with wiki formatting. Various plugins provide additional functionality, like a task list manager, an equation editor, a tray icon, and support for version control. "




zim-wiki for me, absolutely. Text-based, offline, decent plugins, cross-platform, easy. What I love is that if zim is not available I can use Sublime Text to view and navigate as a near replacement as long as the SidebarEnhancements plugin is installed. I stand by the supremacy of zim-wiki although it does lack "pretty".


Do any of you sync your Zim/open it from mobile, specifically Android? I've been using Zim for a few days now and it works well, but would be much better if I can access the database while on the go...


"There is currently no Android application for Zim available." from the github page https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Android-ap.... An Android app would be great. What I do is start up the zim server and look at my notes over LAN. A poor substitute.


I used zim for a while, then switched to Joplin. Huge fan, cli, modern and mobile interfaces. Choose your own storage. open sourcen


Thanks for the mention of Joplin. I just started looking at it and it looks pretty decent for an evernote replacement.
