Looking for a good note-taking app

Looking for recommendations for a multiplatform note taking app. Needs to support Windows and Android. Some things I'm looking for:

Markdown support

offline/local support (should be stored in an easily accessible and movable format e.g. markdown)

is free or only a one time fee

Syncing (either a one time fee via app dev or built in support for GDrive or OneDrive)

Mind mapping functionality (including linking between notes)

flexibility to be both a knowledge base and a place to keep todo lists and general small notes

Obsidian hits most of these features but without paying $8/mo, syncing is a huge pain in the ass. I got it to sync between machines if I store my vaults in Google Drive, but I'd prefer to have them locally then synced. I don't mind paying for software, but I'm trying to avoid another monthly fee on top of everything else I'm paying for. I'm open to staying with Obsidian if I can solve the syncing issues, too.
