I use Tomboy[1] (once very popular note-taking software for Linux) with Tomdroid[2] (a client for Android) and Rainy[3] to sync them. There are a few bugs, it requires mono, doesn't support file attachments, and you need to set everything up yourself but for actual notes/recipes/ideas/quotes it works very well. And you own it, end to end. No one can close the service down, no one can take it away, no one snoops through your stuff.
