Organize notes for free with Joplin
YOU’LL NEED THIS
JOPLIN
(https://joplinapp.org)
Plus supported cloud service for syncing your notes.
WE SPENT MANY A YEAR EXPERIMENTING with note-taking tools, looking for the perfect crossplatform service. And then we stumbled on Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/). It’s completely free to use, open-source, and works across all major desktop and mobile platforms, so you can easily access and update your notes from anywhere.
Joplin is perfect whether you’re looking to record basic text-only notes or emulate the rich text features found in paid-for products, such as Evernote—from markdown-styled text to support for embedding images and even file attachments. You can type directly into the app or capture notes from the web using the free Joplin add-in for your web browser—available for Firefox and any browser with access to the Chrome web store.
When it comes to syncing notes, you’re in complete control. You can sign up for Joplin’s new cloud-based platform or sync for free through your existing cloud storage account. Worried about security? You can also wrap your notes in an added layer of encryption for additional protection. Put simply, Joplin is everything you ever wanted in a note-taking tool—we’ve not looked at another platform since discovering it three years ago. Read on for our guide on how to start using it.
