Joplin is a free, open‑source note‑taking and to‑do application that stores notes in Markdown. It offers cross‑platform support, end‑to‑end encrypted synchronization, and extensibility via plugins and themes.

Use cases

• Take private notes on my phone or computer without an internet connection.
• Synchronize markdown notes securely across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
• Import Evernote notebooks and convert them to markdown for further editing.
• Search through thousands of notes quickly using full‑text search.
• Clip web pages and screenshots directly into my note collection via a browser extension.

When to choose

• You need a cross‑platform, open‑source note‑taking app with end‑to‑end encryption.
• You prefer storing notes in plain Markdown for easy editing and version control.
• You want offline access to all notes with optional cloud sync to services like Nextcloud or Dropbox.

When to avoid

• You require real‑time collaborative editing with multiple users simultaneously.
• You need advanced rich‑text formatting beyond what Markdown provides.
• You are looking for a proprietary solution with dedicated commercial support.
