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

Seems cool! Is it open source?

Looks cool, but does not appear to be FOSS, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have no idea. I wanted a standalone alternative to Google Keep on one of my lesser used devices and this did the job.

Bought the license and it does what I need, plus it synchs to my encrypted storage on pCloud.
