I use Standard Notes and Logseq

Standard Notes mostly for personal use, build a knowledge base where I can set categories to each not without rushing.

Logseq for professional use. I often join meetings with lots of people discussing topics for different projects. With Logseq, I can easily write down notes and add tags to easily correlate people, project, topic, status. I don't need to think which category to save that note, just write on the Journal page and add the tags. Easy! The advanced queries is an amazing featured, I can easily create queries to summarise status of each project and who is working on it. With that in mind, I can easily send status reports to the stakeholder with just one click.

Both are private and don't belong to any of the big tech. Standard notes was acquired by Proton (from ProtonMail), and it is E2EE. Logseq uses local storage, but its possible to sync (can be quite tricky).

I've been using Ecosia, it's basically Google results, but with more privacy, and they invest the revenue in tree-planting projects.

so I’m thinking of exporting my passwords to another safe place for such cases.

I'm also using ProtonPass, and I agree it's a game changer. I love the interface, the Android app is amazing and well integrated.

To not be locked in into ProtonPass in case of real disaster, once a month I export the ProtonPass data and import to KeepassXC in my local machine. It's pretty easy, you just have to export to CSV, and import into KeepassXC, the interface will help you to map the CSV fields accordingly, and you will have a local accessible backup in case of disaster. Don't forget to remove the CSV from your computer after importing to KeepassXC.
