Open Source Everything

Joplin

Joplin is a free note-taking and to-do app that keeps your notes on your own devices, so they work offline. It is for people who want to write, organise and search notes in Markdown and sync them across devices with end-to-end encryption.

Something wrong?

Wrong devices, a wrong description, or it isn't really open source? A mod reviews every suggestion.

What we couldn't confirm4
  • Whether Joplin has team wikis or real-time collaboration, which Notion's and Notion-style groups list.
  • Whether Joplin supports reminders, which Google Keep offers.
  • Whether Joplin has handwriting or a free-form canvas like OneNote.
  • Whether the subdirectory licenses (such as packages/server) are also open source, since they were not given.
