## What it is
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
