Description
Two things go wrong with note apps over time: the vendor shuts down, or everything you wrote lives on their servers. Joplin avoids both — notes are Markdown stored locally, encrypted end to end, and you choose which cloud service syncs them — so the data stays yours.
Open-source and free, on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile.
Markdown notes: plain-text Markdown with a side-by-side preview, supporting code blocks, tables, formulas and to-do lists, so export and migration are never locked to one format.
End-to-end encryption: notes are encrypted locally before syncing, so the cloud provider only ever holds ciphertext.
Your choice of sync: Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV or your own server — there is no mandatory official cloud.
Web clipper: a browser extension clips article text straight into a note, replacing copy-and-paste research.
Organization and search: notebooks, tags, full-text search and links between notes keep thousands of entries navigable.
