  • Joplin

    Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

  • Joplin for notes. I used OneNote for a while, but didn't care for it. Formatting and synchronization with OneDrive both were flakey. I then used Evernote, but got tired of the limitations, constant upselling, and I had security concerns. I sync Joplin with a self-hosted WebDAV server so I control the content, and can access it from other devices including iPad and iPhone. I also like Joplin better than either of the others because it is based on the Markdown language, like Github and Reddit, with the option of editing in either markdown or WYSIWYG. Notebook titles also can be embellished with icons in the table of contents to help distinguish them. Here is a screenshot of my Joplin app

    iTerm2 is a terminal emulator for Mac OS X that does amazing things.

  • iTerm2 as a replacement for native macOS Terminal app. I just like it better.
