Ask HN: How do you manage your plain text notes

I have notes scattered around in my notebook, email, git, personal wikis and some files across 5 devices (2 of which I do not own).

I am consolidating them all in plain text. I tag each text file with topic, date and context keywords. I use grep and awk to create "views" into them. Works great.

What does not work great is on the phone (which is where I need it the most for reading and cross references)

I do not want to get locked into proprietary formats or platforms. This is just plain text.

What are my options ?
