Joplin – Notes can be synchronised with your other devices

[App] Joplin

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified. The Android application supports markdown rendering.

The notes can be synchronised with your other devices via Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud or WebDAV. Joplin is also available for Windows, macOS and Linux and all can synchronise with each others so your notes can be available on your mobile phone, computer, tablet, etc. Please see the official website for the list of available applications: joplinapp.org/

The desktop applications can be used to import notes from Evenote via .enex files, including the formatted content (which is converted to markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). These imported notes can then be synchronised with the Android app.

IMPORTANT: OneDrive synchronisation is currently only working with regular accounts. OneDrive Business unfortunately cannot be supported due to the different API.

Note: Currently file attachment in Android only works, and is only enabled, in version 5 (Lollipop) or above.

Joplin user reviews :

This is the best tool that I’ve found that is free and runs on Android, ChromeOS, and Linux for collecting and managing research, notes, documents, etc. If it was built with something other than Electron had GDrive/Google One sync support, and easier-to-use encryption options (for the average user) I would not hesitate to give it 5-stars. Until then, solid 4-stars and well worth a look (especially if you need a self-hosted Evernote replacement).

This app used to be quite slow and laggy, but after a recent update it works really smooth and steady. I also appreciate the reworked, clean design. In Joplin you compose notes in Markdown and the app saves those in a format that can be read by any text editor. In that way, your notes will be readable even in the case that Joplin gets discontinued. The app supports many ways to sync your notes to the cloud and also includes a possibility to encrypt your data.

Great note taking app. Open source, secure end to end encryption, markdown support, nested notebook support, attachment support (image, pdf, etc), powerful search feature, cloud sync support (dropbox, onedrive, etc), cross platform. Maybe there are features that I miss, but as far as I can tell, it’s already one of the best note taking app that I ever use.

After years of looking for a good open source replacement for Evernote and OneNote, this one fits the bill exactly. Features that need adding in the Android version: let us adjust (or disable) the interval for auto-save, and in edit mode have the cursor return to the last place edited in the document, rather than always jumping to the end.

Tried so many note taking apps and finally settled on Joplin. It ticks all my requirements, opensource, end to end encryption, and client availability pretty much for all OSs I use. It Syncs perfectly with my Nextcloud instance over WebDAV. Felt good making some donation today and will always do to support the development of this awesome project. Keep up the great work!

Only been using Joplin a week and it’s already completely indispensable to me. Write notes in markdown, sync via private cloud solutions like Nextcloud, end to end encryption, clean design, decent light/dark themes, clickable checklist items, file attachments, this really is a complete open source replacement for services like Evernote. Outstanding app!

Joplin is an amazing Evernote alternative. It needs a little more work to set up, but it allows me to use more devices than basic evernote. I’m only rating it 4 stars because it keeps being buggy on encrypted syncing despite following the encrypted syncing instructions to the letter.
