About

Open-source note-taking application with synchronization, encryption, and markdown support for desktop and mobile.

Target Audience: Knowledge workers, students, researchers, and developers who need a reliable place to capture notes, checklists, and web clippings in Markdown. They use Joplin because it works across desktop, mobile, and terminal environments while keeping data portable and under their control. Teams and individuals that care about privacy choose it for end-to-end encrypted sync and self-hosting options.
Not ideal for: Organizations that need real-time collaborative document editing or full project-management workflows should not use Joplin, because it is built for personal note-taking and encrypted sync rather than live co-authoring.

What makes it different

  • End-to-end encrypted synchronization for notes across devices.
  • Markdown-first note editor with to-do checkboxes, attachments, tags, and nested notebooks.
  • Official Web Clipper browser extension that saves full web pages, screenshots, and PDFs.
  • Open-source clients with sync targets such as Joplin Server, Joplin Cloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud, and WebDAV.
