Do you know JOPLIN? It's a nice European alternative to apps like Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Microsoft OneNote.
Joplin is a free, open source note-taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. You can search your notes, copy them, tag them and modify them either from the app itself or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format, which is great.
It was created by Laurent Cozic 
back in 2016 as an alternative to Evernote. It's cloud service is hosted in Paris, France. They focus on privacy, security and transparency.
It's open source and offline-first, so you can always access your data on the device, even when you're not connected to the internet.
It's got all the basics you'd expect, and you can also attach images, videos, audio files and PDFs to your notebooks.
There's a huge community of people who have made extra features possible with their plugins.
It's also super easy to export and import your files, which is great if you're worried about vendor lock-in.
The handy web clipper extension lets you save web pages or take screenshots in the browser and save them to your notes.
