Some people *really* love emacs org-mode, or there is a new GNU (FSF?) product 
whose name escapes me at the moment but which sounded good (saw it recently on 
hacker news I think).

I wrote and heavily use the (AGPL) product at http://onemodel.org, which I hope 
to move to Rust and become again more active in adding features.  I use it 
every day and have extensive notes organized in various ways and for meat 
least, it is the best thing there is.  It is all keyboard-based, works in a 
terminal, has search, exports data to html and outline documents, has a 
~"journal" feature (reporting activity by date), has a very basic security 
model, is very physically efficient and I hope easy to learn (basically 
everything is on the screen if you read it carefully), and it requires you to 
install postgres (has detailed instructions, could move to sqlite someday...on 
the list...), and has no mobile support.  I keep in it *everything* write down, 
from daily routine to calendar/ticklers, notes, and I hope to add anki-like 
(i.e., smart flashcards) features for study notes in the future.

The web site has much more info, including some FAQs with mentions of other 
products like a to-do list manager that I think is available on OBSD 
(taskwarrior?), and there is a very low-volume mailing list for questions.  The 
best code is in github (with a few more enhancements on my machine), but there 
is also a .jar you can download (again, I hope to move it to Rust as a 
priority).

(Currently, when I need to access some of it on a mobile device, I export it 
and post it as temporary files and view it over .html, though other things 
would obviously be better in the future I hope.)
