Joplin is a free alternative to popular apps such as Evernote and OneNote. It is an excellent solution for individuals who want to take notes without being limited to a specific service. You can store your database locally, on a network drive, in any cloud service like Dropbox, or via WebDAV. Syncing works without interruption, and you can get the latest version for free at the bottom of this post.
A portable version is available for download from the official website; we only provide an installation version. Clients are available for all central operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Don’t be concerned about security; end-to-end E2EE encryption is supported, protecting your notes from unauthorized access.
What it can do:
- The editor is simple to use, supports Markdown, and lets you attach files and photos.
- Convenient sorting, labeling, and drag-and-drop capability for notes between notebooks
- Advanced users can employ mathematical formulas.
- A web clipper for browsers, compatible with Chrome and Firefox, will help save pages and screenshots directly from the browser.
- Powerful search with backlight
So there’s Russian assistance, and it’s all free. If you’re considering switching from Evernote, look for a good option. I’ll be pleased with Joplin; it can import Evernote databases so that the switch will be simple with no additional configuration. It also supports Markdown files, thus I recommend it for information management.
