Project Overview

Joplin is a free, open-source note-taking and to-do application that can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. Notes are in Markdown format and are searchable, copyable, taggable, and editable. The app is "offline first," meaning all data is always stored on your device and accessible anytime.

• Data import: Supports importing notes from Evernote, including formatted content, resources, and complete metadata; plain Markdown files can also be imported
• End-to-end encrypted sync: Securely synchronize notes via cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Joplin Cloud
• Cross-platform: Available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS
