Thank you! I am long time obsidian user looking for something that will work decently on Android and this looks promising.
I only really struggle with one basic feature - I want to be able to write note within 1-2 seconds of clicking the app icon. Obsidian makes it 10-15 seconds at best. The HelixNotes sometimes can get this in under 10, still looking for better options.
I'm having the same issue with Standard Notes. It's almost 30 seconds now and becoming an issue, especially with Android's aggressive memory freeing. It wasn't so bad early on but it gets worse as notes accumulate.
There are few importers available which have been opensourced (look at the Actual's github org), I have only tried one during migration from greedy YNAB.
There is also an API which works quite well. I am using it to import transactions from Revolut. So no Open Banking yet, but afaik it's painful to get in the UK anyways
That's the downside and I'm by no means suggesting someone should do this unless they really want to! The comment was more for those who really do want to.
But yes: I do that. I personally think it's very interesting to see where I've been and to visualize the traces, especially when I'm traveling around the world.
When I originally started a few years ago, battery drain from running a GPS logger 24/7 on a phone was significant. This was a good alternative. I'm now used to it and appreciate that I'm fully in control of that data.
