Joplin

After the recent update, if I click on a note then switched tabs and went back onto Joplin, the whole page blanks out and I have to click the back button and then onto the note once more. This has been happening since the 13.0.7 update Update, 8 November 2024: bug has been partially fixed. Sometimes this bug happens other times, it does not.

Was using evernote for years, they kept locking it down reducing free functionality till it became unusable for me. Cost of paid version simply too much. Joplin is a bit less slick but does the job well enough to handle the meat of what’s required. Highly recommended to give it a try. Will also be donating to support developer.

Very promising, sync is rather slow (Dropbox) and requires only one client to be opened at any one time (ie only the desktop app or only a mobile app, etc) to avoid lock errors. Mermaid support on both desktop and mobile app is an amazing feature. I would love to see graphviz (dot) added!

I can now manage todo lists across all my devices without needing OneNote mobile

A trustworthy and stable jotter, properly focussed on essentials without dancing around the houses doing a song. Maybe there are bells and whistles in the background though? — Although nothing on the scale of bloated Evernote, adding a new note consumes more volume compared to two other highly efficient apps I use. But now that I've mentioned an overweight app losing sight of its original purpose, I must say I far prefer Joplin.

I have tried several apps in this space having been an Evernote user who migrated to Notion. Notion is undeniably powerful and although I don’t use its ‘database’ features, its tables are much better than Joplins. However this is mitigated by the fact that like Evernote, Joplin can open spreadsheets in your default app, which in my case is Excel. Notion by contrast is tied to Google Docs, which doesn’t suit me. Pluses for me: 1. Syncing via my Cloud provider (OneDrive) 2. End to end encryption (a major omission in Notion) 3. Image placement in notes 4. Open Source I don’t use the Joplin Cloud. I would happily pay for extra features such as publishing to the web etc., but I am holding back because I love the fact that I can sync via OneDrive where I store all my docs. and (maybe I’m wrong but) it looks like I could be limited in doc size. Overall, it is a likely Notion replacement for my use case although I think converting the notes will be quite an effort. Still that will be an opportunity to tidy things up (again).

Nice note taking app. The thing stopping me using it exclusively is the WebDAV sync with my DiskStation is not working. Works fine on my MacBook and I’m guessing it’s because I have the option set Joplin for MacOS to ignore certificate errors, this is not an option in the iOS apps. Please add this option.

I probably don’t use all the features but I’ve been using it for work notes with attached images, superb, easy to use, black oled theme is great on my iPhone 12, syncs with my pc and it’s free, but happy to donate.

This is an excellent note app in the style of OneNote or Evernote but this one allows you to select what service you want your data stored on. However this app is severely hampered by nonexistent share-sheet integration. I would like the ability to select which notebooks are downloaded to save storage space on my device,I hope that can be added as a feature in a future update. All in all this is an excellent note app so thank you developer for your hard work it’s really appreciated.

I’m an Evernote user but wanted to find an alternative note app which lets me encrypt my notes because Evernote doesn’t let users do this, and while looking for an alternative I stumbled across this app. I have it installed on my iPhone, Samsung tablet and PC and the app syncs my notes with my Dropbox account without issue between my devices. It allows me to encrypt all my notes and it has even imported all my Evernote notes. This app maybe doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of Evernote but it’s perfect for my use. Oh and it’s free.
