History

Joplin is named for the ragtime composer and pianist, Scott Joplin.[3]

The first public desktop application release was version 0.10.19, on November 20, 2017.[4][5][6]

A Web Clipper[7] for Chrome was introduced in December 2017 and the Firefox extension was released in May 2018.

A new Joplin Cloud service was introduced in 2021,[8] along with an on-premises Joplin Server application. Both products can be used to sync notes, to-dos, notebooks and note data across devices, as well as share notes or notebooks with other Joplin users, or even publish content to the web.

Features
  • Notes in markdown format
  • Markdown extension plug-ins
  • Storage in plain-text files
  • Optional client-side encryption
  • Organisation in notebooks and sub-notebooks
  • Tagging system
  • "Offline-first", notes are always accessible locally, and can be synced on demand
  • Note synchronization with Joplin Cloud, Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, or (networked) file system

Joplin's workflow and featureset is most often compared to Evernote.[9][10][11][12][13]
