About Joplin
Joplin is an open source note taking app for desktop, phone and tablet. It stores your notes in an open format and can encrypt them end to end.
What it does
Joplin lets you write notes in Markdown or a rich text editor, and attach images, videos, PDFs and audio files. A web clipper saves pages or screenshots as notes. You can sync notes across devices using Joplin Cloud or services such as Dropbox and OneDrive, and a terminal app is available for people who prefer the command line.
Key features
- Write in Markdown or rich text
- Add images, PDFs, audio and math expressions
- Clip web pages with a browser extension
- Encrypt notes end to end
- Sync through Joplin Cloud, Dropbox or OneDrive
Who it's for
Users who want their notes in a format they can open in other tools, and people who care about privacy. Students and writers who collect research from the web will also find the clipper useful.
Pricing and good to know
Joplin is open source and free to download. Joplin Cloud is an optional hosted service based in France, and it adds note sharing and publishing. You can customise the app with plugins and themes, and the notes stay readable even if you stop using Joplin.
