Description

Joplin is an 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. Images and other files can be attached to notes. The iOS application supports markdown rendering.
The notes can be synchronised with your other devices via Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive or Joplin Cloud. 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: https://joplinapp.org
The desktop applications can be used to import notes from Evernote 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 iOS app.
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is supported and will encrypt the complete data, including notes, notebooks and attachments.

Bug? 23 march 2023

sk3tch0 on

United Kingdom

I’m not quite sure if you’d call this a bug, anyhow: When editing the title of a note, the keyboard is dark yet when typing the note itself, the keyboard changes to light. This happens regardless if I’ve turned on dark mode or not. Also if I dark mode on, when opening a new note or a pre-existing one, upon opening, there’s a quick white flash. Also please add a feature where the user can place a line/strike through words.

Great app

curtiscu on

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 good

iPL-2009 on

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!

It's simple and works

Competent

Whapper Stan on

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.

Possible Notion Alternative

Pippin51 on

United Kingdom

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).

Good but WebDAV Sync Issue

dutch.gttc on

United Kingdom

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.

Great for work notes

Stum1966 on

United Kingdom

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.

Needs better iOS integration

Peaceful-Space on

United Kingdom

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.
