Yet another request for a note taking app (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'm still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I'll try to ask you then.

I'm looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

richtext/WYSIWYG (i don't want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don't want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
FOSS and active

The one I'm currently using is obsidian, but it's not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

Any suggestion is welcome!

EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm talking about Android XD

Emacs org mode could work if you're okay with tinkering a bit. There are keyboard shortcuts for check/uncheck, and you can do a lot of customization of how it renders in Emacs. Search might be a problem though.

Sorry I forgot to clarify, I'm talking about Android XD

I updated OP to explain it

Thanks for the tip anyway!

Emacs does have an Android version, though it's kind of buggy and not worth it (especially not without a physical keyboard).
