Obsidian.

You don't need a special Obsidian plugin.

You don't need to plug in a device.

You'll even get a Daily Reflection added to your Obsidian daily note.

Take back your gathered thoughts and store them where you want them.

BTW this also works with KOReader, so get all your notes and highlights in one place!
