Joplin is a markdown cross-platform note-taking and to-do application. It is developed as an open source alternative to Evernote. It is available in various operating systems, such as Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS. It supports cloud synchronization, end-to-end encryption, web clipping, note history, note import/export, markdown editing, WYSIWYG editing, and tagging. In addition, there are many Joplin plugins that can be installed to enhance note-taking experience.
