Joplin
About Joplin
Joplin is a free, open source note-taking and to-do application designed to handle a large number of notes organized into notebooks. The notes are stored in Markdown format, making them searchable, taggable, and editable both within the app and through external text editors. Joplin supports importing notes from Evernote, including formatted content, resources, and metadata, as well as plain Markdown files.
The application operates on an 'offline first' principle, ensuring that all data is stored locally on your device, making notes accessible without an internet connection. Synchronization across devices is supported through various cloud services like Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Joplin Cloud, with end-to-end encryption for security.
Joplin is available on multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It also offers a Web Clipper extension for browsers like Firefox and Chrome, allowing users to save web pages and screenshots directly into their notes.
