I'd agree with this suggestion, especially if you're willing to put in a bit of legwork to start and learn some of the basics of org-mode.

To me though, one of the killer features of org-mode (compared to some of the other, SaaS product offerings) is that under the hood it's /just/ a plain-text file. You know (unlike the SaaS stuff) it'll be around for 30+ years. To me, it's incredibly valuable when building my own personal information repo/db to know it'll be around as long as I am. Not contingent on a company to remain around or profitable to keep access to my data.
