Joplin (version 2097685): a note taking and to-do app with sync between Linux, macOS, Windows, and mobile

Version through the full install instruction page is 2.9.8 https://github.com/laurent22/joplin-android/releases/download/android-v2.9.8/joplin-v2.9.8.apk

I am now using Joplin for regular notes and Standard notes for private notes

I'm waiting for v2.9.1 for Android. I see this version in tags but no apk available yet in releases neither on Play Market.

For "Productivity", there's also Joplin, but sadly not on F-Droid, but you can get the APK here.

I am now using SyncThing to sync between my phone and my PC. On Joplin, I have to install an older version of Joplin 2.5.5 from Joplin's Github. On Joplin, I choose "File System" and paste in the location where Joplin / SyncThing transfer the file in/out. It works great. Version 2.5.6 and later used a different Android SDK which needs to be revised in order to work with local files. Version 2.5.5 is the latest version that still works with local folder.

Google Keep: This app is so basic that most open source note taking apps should suffice. As for the top editors, Joplin is good, can sync pretty well and even has error correction tools in case sync goes wrong, but you can't attach files bigger than 10 MB to notes. Neutrinote CE is almost just as good, it even has basic sketching feature but you can't attach anything other than images. Markor has terrible UX but it has good attachment support.

https://github.com/laurent22/joplin-android/tags There is a problem with the ordering on the repo. Check the tags instead of releases.

Joplin v. 2097642: a note taking and to-do app with sync between Linux, macOS, Windows

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
