:ledger: [FREE TOOL] JOPLIN — Open-Source Notes, No Lock-In, E2EE Encryption, Yours Forever

Most note apps own your notes. Evernote hikes the price, Notion adds a paywall, Apple Notes only really works if you live in Apple-land. Joplin flips that — free, open-source (the code is public, anyone can audit), notes live on your device as plain text files. Drop Joplin tomorrow, the notes still open in any text editor. No ransom.

:notebook: What it actually is

Same shape as Notion, Evernote, Apple Notes — but the company can’t paywall a feature you already use, lock you into one cloud, or peek at your stuff.

:toolbox: What you get

  • :memo: Notes, images, PDFs, math, even drawings
  • :cloud: Sync wherever you want — Joplin Cloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or your own folder. Switch any time
  • :locked: E2EE (end-to-end encryption — padlock on your diary, you keep the only key). Flip it on, even the cloud can’t read them
  • :globe_with_meridians: Web Clipper — Chrome/Firefox extension. Save articles, screenshots, recipes straight into your notes
  • :desktop_computer: Runs everywhere — Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, even a terminal version if you’re that person

:inbox_tray: Grab it

:globe_with_meridians: Site: https://joplinapp.org
:open_book: All install links (every platform): https://joplinapp.org/help/install

:leaf_fluttering_in_wind: Free, no signup needed — unless you want their cloud sync.
