Offline-first Markdown note-taking with end-to-end encrypted sync
Free note-taking and to-do app that stores notes in Markdown, works offline, and syncs securely across Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS.
Joplin is a note-taking and to-do application designed for users who need reliable offline access to their notes while maintaining the flexibility to sync across devices. Notes are stored in Markdown format, making them portable and easy to edit in any text editor. The application supports full-text search, tagging, and organization into notebooks, handling large collections of notes efficiently.
Built on an "offline first" architecture, Joplin ensures all data remains accessible on your device without requiring an internet connection. When you're ready to sync, end-to-end encryption protects your notes across cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Joplin Cloud. The platform imports Evernote exports seamlessly, converting formatted content to Markdown while preserving metadata and attachments.
Joplin serves individuals and teams who prioritize data ownership, privacy, and cross-platform availability. Available on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS, it includes a Web Clipper extension for Firefox and Chrome to capture web pages and screenshots. The app supports customization through plugins and themes, allowing users to tailor the experience to their workflow.
When teams consider Joplin, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
