Joplin is an open-source, privacy-focused note-taking and to-do application that stores notes in Markdown and supports notebooks, tags, and full-text search. It syncs across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS with optional end-to-end encryption via Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, or Joplin Cloud, and includes a browser web clipper and plugin/theme system.

Use cases

• take markdown notes across desktop and mobile
• sync notes privately with end-to-end encryption
• import evernote enex notebooks
• clip web pages and screenshots into notes
• self-host note sync with nextcloud or webdav
• organize to-dos and notebooks offline-first
• customize a note app with plugins and themes

When to choose

• you want an open-source, offline-first alternative to Evernote or Obsidian
• you need cross-platform notes with E2EE sync to your own cloud storage
• you prefer Markdown-based notes with full-text search and plugin extensibility

When to avoid

• you need real-time collaborative editing out of the box
• you want a hosted zero-setup service rather than managing sync targets
• you require rich relational databases or kanban-style project management
