Joplin

Take control of your note-taking with Joplin, the privacy-first app designed for anyone who values their data security and mental clarity. Capture your thoughts freely without distractions, tracking, or ads—backed by end-to-end encryption and open-source code so you can focus entirely on your ideas and tasks.

Build multimedia notes that go beyond text. Create written manuscripts, transcribe speech directly into notes, and embed photos, videos, PDFs, and images seamlessly. Add documents as attachments, construct mathematical expressions, design tables, write code snippets, and insert diagrams—all within a single note. Turn your notes into actionable items by creating to-dos with reminders, transforming your note app into a complete productivity hub.

Organize your ideas intuitively across multiple devices. Structure your thoughts into notebooks, then tag notes by subject or priority to keep everything sorted. Use the rich text editor with colour formatting to make your notes visually distinct and easy to scan. Whether you're storing bills, lecture notes, photos, or receipts, finding what you need is instant thanks to the powerful search feature enhanced by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology—you can even search within PDFs and images.

Sync across all your devices without compromise. Access your notes from your phone, tablet, or computer by synchronizing with Joplin Cloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, and other services. Move seamlessly between devices and always have your information at your fingertips. The offline-first architecture means you can read, edit, and create notes anytime and anywhere, even without internet connection. Once you reconnect, all your devices automatically synchronize and update.
