There are always situations in which we need to write something down, which is not difficult at all, but it can be a different story when it comes to finding the note in the future. If you want to keep your notes well organized, using a specialized application would be the best idea. Joplin lets you create notes and To-do lists and keep them organized in notebooks. It comes with cloud synchronization capabilities, as well as other advantages.

Joplin is a free and open source application, available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and you can also find it for Android and iOS mobile platforms. Downloading and installing the application is a simple and straightforward operation. You don't have to make any complicated settings and you don't need to meet any special requirements.

The user interface has a plain and simple layout, but you can still find everything you need to create and organize notes. The few controls Joplin places at your disposal are easy to reach, so you can do just about anything on the fly. From notebooks to To-do items can be created instantly, by simply clicking a button on a toolbar and filling in the appropriate fields. Notebooks are listed in a column, on the far left part of the window, their contents are displayed in a second column, further to the right and the actual content of the notes can be viewed in the larger area on the far right.

Besides writing or pasting text, you can also tag notes, attach files and schedule reminders. This is especially useful if you need to create a To-do list. There are no font or paragraph options you have to go through when writing a note. However, the software has a markdown editing functionality you can take advantage of. You can split the editing area in two parts, for editing and previewing notes.

Everything you write down in Joplin can be uploaded to the cloud at a moment's notice. All you have to do is hit the "Synchronize" button, on the left side of the interface, and if you are logged into your cloud account, the application will start uploading right away. You may find this feature particularly useful if you decide to use Joplin on multiple computers and on mobile devices, because you can make your notes available everywhere with a single click or tap.

The software can upload your data to OneDrive, Nextcloud or WebDAV and you can choose one of these services in the general settings menu. Alternatively, you can set Joplin to synchronize everything with a local or network folder.

Taking notes and keeping them organized can be done without any effort, thanks to Joplin's simplicity and efficiency.

Pros

The software lets you create notes and To-do lists. You can organize them in different notebooks. Also, Joplin can synchronize your notebooks with cloud folders.

Cons

Joplin doesn't support other cloud services besides OneDrive, Nextcloud and WebDAV.
