Hello all!

Interfacing markdown:

Joplin (pretty popular, haven't used)
Standard Notes (same as above)
Markor (feature-packed, a bit outdated)
BeautyXT (maybe a bit too minimal almost, but gets the job done if you just want text based editing)

Interfacing orgmode:

Orgzly (beautiful simple app that uses a superior syntax when compared to Markdown due to its built-in agenda and to-do structure)

Syncing flat files (might not be compatible with all of the above)

Their own hosted server if available (easy but not private, some provide E2EE)
Syncthing (easy and private)
WebDav or an SFTP server (hard if self-hosted or otherwise easy through some providers)
Termux + a Git server (pain)

I've never heard of BeautyXT, seems new considering the material 3 design. I've never heard of the Accrescent app store either.
