How do you save your threat model?

and there are many personal knowledge management systems

I tested some like Zettlr and Logseq and they seem to be used for journaling and things like that. Zettlr seems to be less confusing and more straightforward than Logseq, but according to this GitHub issue they’re not interested implementing file encryption within the app. Not ideal. Logseq doesn’t have encryption features as well.

If you are interested in self-hosting something, I can provide an actionable roadmap.

I don’t have the money to self-host stuff, so yeah…

Is there anything like Obsidian, but is encrypted locally, that is suitable to be used with Syncthing?

I’m currently testing Joplin + Syncthing and rolling an ecnryption key on Joplin using the “File system” sync option in Joplin and seems to be doing good, but Joplin lacks some features that Obsidian has by default, like Wikilinks support (you have to install this extension for that and installing extensions is not ideal for confidential setups) and other miscellaneous bugs like not being able to replicate a table like this:

| Test | Test |
|---|---|
| Query | <input type="checkbox"> Yes <br/> <input type="checkbox"> No |

Works with Obsidian. It doesn’t in Joplin spoiler.

Cryptomator

A problem with this approach is that on Android you’d have to extract all the files on your phone, edit the files and them repacking everything up, and that’s extremely unpractical. Opening Markdown files on Cryptomator for Android just opens a simple text editor. This works fine if you’re just on a computer , because Cryptomator allocates the files on a temporary directory. You can’t do that on Android unfortunately.
