What I found out so far:

** RemNote **
available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android
cost: 8 Euro/month or 395 Euro for lifetime license
no local storage (at least, I failed to find an option to specify a folder on my local disk)

** Obsidian with one of the SR plug-ins **
available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android
Obsidian is free, syncing is not.
local and cloud storage
Don’t know yet whether the SR plug-ins work on iOS/Android, too.

** Anki **
available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android
Open Source and free
local and cloud storage
does not directly support MD but reads/writes TXT files
There are Obsidian plug-ins that export MD files to Anki (haven’t tested that)
