Joplin

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application capable of managing a large number of notes organized into notebooks. Notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged, and modified either directly within the application or using an external text editor. All notes are stored in Markdown format for easy readability and editing.

The application supports importing notes from Evernote via .enex files, preserving formatted content (converted to Markdown), resources like images and attachments, and metadata such as geolocation, creation time, and update time. Plain Markdown files can also be imported seamlessly.

Synchronization is available with cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, or local file systems. During sync, notes, notebooks, tags, and metadata are saved as plain text files, facilitating easy inspection, backup, and portability. A CLI version (joplin-cli) is also provided for command-line usage.

Joplin stores notes in Markdown format within a notebook structure. Synchronization with cloud services or file systems saves notes, notebooks, tags, and metadata as plain text files. Import functionality parses .enex files from Evernote, converting rich content to Markdown while extracting resources and metadata. The CLI interface provides terminal-based access to these core operations.
