Joplin

Joplin is a powerful tool for capturing and organizing your thoughts, to-do lists, and information. It supports rich text and Markdown formatting, allowing you to create notes with images, attachments, tables, and even code snippets. You can clip web pages directly from your browser and save them as notes for later reference.

What makes Joplin special is its focus on privacy and data ownership. Your notes are stored locally on your devices, not on someone else's server. When you sync across devices, everything is protected with end-to-end encryption, meaning only you can read your content.

The app offers multiple sync options including Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud, or Joplin's own cloud service. You can also customize Joplin with plugins and themes to match your workflow perfectly.

Getting started with Joplin is simple and straightforward. Here are the steps:

• Download and install Joplin from the official website for your computer, or get the mobile app from your device's app store.

• Create your first notebook to organize related notes together. You can have separate notebooks for work, personal projects, or studies.

• Start writing notes using the built-in editor. You can choose between a visual editor or Markdown format depending on your preference.

• Add images, attachments, or create to-do lists within your notes. You can also use the web clipper browser extension to save entire web pages.

• Set up syncing by connecting to a cloud service like Dropbox, OneDrive, or Joplin Cloud. This keeps your notes updated across all devices.
