You might be interested by [Laverna](https://laverna.cc/ https://laverna.cc/). It's not as full-featured as Google keep but it does work offline and let you encrypt and sync your notes via dropbox, which I find to be more important than pure looks. The other alternative would be [Turtl](https://turtlapp.com/ https://turtlapp.com/) but you need to host the server somewhere (although I imagine just hosting it localy would work as well).

Laverna looks not bad (beside the white space, if I want to edit a long markdown document I will use something else). Thanks, I will try it out. Turtle (which looks like a private Google Keep) I wanted to try out two days ago but could not register. Do you know if Turtle does some caching? Beeing dependent on Internet (connection) for notes is something which I want to avoid entirely (actually Google Keep is good at that thing, works offline).

  Turtl would be great if not for the reliance on a server. I think they do some caching (their settings page has "erase local data") but since it relies on a login anyway it still requires an "always on" connection. I agree completely on Laverna, but I think it's the closest to what you (and I) are looking for. I wish I wasn't so lazy/busy and got the motivation to fork it and implement the changes I want (I don't care for the double panel and the white space everywhere).

I just tried Laverna, and I want to love it because simple markdown+Dropbox sync+encryption is exactly what I want, but it's buggy as hell. I can't type a single sentence without it erasing a period, or jumping back to a state containing text I deleted...

You might like Standard Notes[1]. It's an open source project I and a few others are working on. Focuses on longevity, portability, and privacy. Has full offline support and end-to-end encryption, as well as support for 3rd party extensions like Dropbox sync. [1] https://standardnotes.org https://standardnotes.org
