[Seeking] something to replace chat with self in WhatsApp/Telegram

So I'm using a lot the option to chat myself in apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. But I don't wanna put my trust in them.

I tried about using NextCloud (I have an instance) Talk, but I'm not satisfied: the app won't load if I have no internet connection.

What I am actually looking for:

something with cross client sync that sync is ideally on my server
simple to use like sending message to self but with good search options, maybe even tagging
ability to send images, files etc
caches offline on clients

thanks.

P.S. wasn't really sure what tag to use here. Help seems like I'd use when I have an issue with an existing project. but I'm looking for a new one so I used this.

thanks!

How about pushbullet? It's not self-hosted though, but syncs nicely between different phones and browser plugin. File transfer etc. works well, the search is rudimentary.

Honestly I'm not sure about offline support though, I haven't really been in a situation where I wanted to take a note/message myself without internet connection.
- is it open source?
  
  I don't think so, no.
  
  okay thanks
