If all you need is a simple note taking app, I recommend Notesnook. It is free and open source and offers E2EE cloud syncing. That is what I used as a Google keep alternative. Silverbullet is good, but may be too feature-full for something as simple as a Keep replacement.
Comment on SilverBullet v2 released: open-source, self hosted, programmable notes

That’s awesome. I need to migrate off of Google Keep. It’s the last Google service I use.

Are there any apps that have similar UI to Keep? I really like the tiled notes as opposed to a simple list

These look promising, thanks

If it’s not self hosted, I’m afraid I don’t want to use it. It looks nice, though.

www.usememos.com is another option that’s super light weight and self hostable.

Last time I tried usememos I couldn’t figure out how you can export the notes, which gave me a bad feeling
reading the github issues it seems the developers are actively against it? stating that the data is in a database and easy to export that way. but my sqlite-fu is quite poor

That looks really nice! I’m gonna try that out. Thank you. :)

What about maps? I can’t seem to replace it.

for my car and motorcycle, I have an older TomTom dedicated GPS that still gets updates and has routed me better than Google maps in the past. it doesn’t require a subscription, though some newer ones do. I think I can update it with open street maps if the worst happens.
I use Organic Maps on my phone, which uses open street maps. It works pretty well but I often need the actual address for a location as opposed to the business name or search won’t work.
I’m a Kagi subscriber so I try to use Kagi Maps in the rare instance that I’m looking things up on my computer. It is a bit more limited.

I don’t know. I use Apple Maps. Probably not any better privacy wise, but I don’t know what is better that has similar features. I’ve tried Magic Earth and CoMaps, and they’re both promising, just not at the level that I’d be willing to switch to.
