Anyone looking for a free open source note taking and to-do application to handle notes organized in notebooks

About Joplin

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organized into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format. Notes exported from Evernote via .enex files can be imported into Joplin, including the formatted content (which is converted to Markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). Plain Markdown files can also be imported. The notes can be synchronized with various cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV or the file system (for example with a network directory). When synchronising the notes, notebooks, tags and other metadata are saved to plain text files which can be easily inspected, backed up and moved around. The application is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.

    "A Great FOSS Notes app"

    Posted 2022-04-04

    Pros: Free and open source.
    Works offline.
    Supports Evernote export format.
    Supports multiple languages.
    Save screenshots or webpages directly from browser.
    Available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.

    Cons: A bit buggy at times (but they get patched rather quickly).

    Overall: Joplin is a great FOSS alternative to Evernote and OneNote, and doesn't lack any of the essential features.
