Joplin is a secure, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified. The Android application supports markdown rendering.

The note can be securely synchronised using Joplin Cloud so that your notes are available on all your devices. It also lets you publish notes, and collaborate on notebooks with your friends, family or colleagues. Synchronisation is secured using end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

Besides Joplin Cloud, the notes can be synchronised with your other services, such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud, S3 or WebDAV. Joplin is also available for Windows, macOS and Linux and all can synchronise with each others so your notes can be available on your mobile phone, computer, tablet, etc. Please see the official website for the list of available applications: https://joplinapp.org/

The desktop applications can be used to import notes from Evenote via .enex files, including the formatted content (which is converted to markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). These imported notes can then be synchronised with the Android app.

Unlike others, I've had zero problems syncing with my PC (that works great via Dropbox) However, when I share things TO Joplin on my Pixel phone, things get wonky After every three or four shares, it just loses it's mind, and stops adding anything. I have to force stop, clear the cache, and then it works great again For three or four more times Rinse and repeat Really smells like a memory management issue

This Is practically unusable once you start getting more notes. The developers claim this isn't due to Joplin itself but to how Android is implementing the file system API, but I find this hard to believe. I've found no satisfactory answer despite probing a lot, and the whole issue is ignored for over a year. Synching your notes shouldn't take days, but that's what you're looking at.

It can be a little janky when syncing across multiple intalls, but otherwise I absolutely love this app. I would like a little more customization with how the word processing works, but that's a small thing. If you need something to replace Drive or the like, this is absolutely it.
