I think it’s true in many cases but it does not take any less effort to build open-source software as opposed to commercial options. Joplin is an open-source alternative for Evernote, hence my preference.Īnd one other point, we always think opensource means free software. Sure, I may not be skilled enough to understand their source code but many other software engineers worldwide are reviewing and updating code regularly.Īs a result, any malicious code can be detected quickly. I like open-source software due to its very nature of opening source code to the public. Since I store most of my documents including medical so I’m a bit hesitant to use Evernote.Įven if I do, I always felt some kind of fear (if you don’t know medical documents has the highest value in the black market).īut now I have enabled Encryption with a strong randomized key and stored that key in a safe place.īut please be cautious before you enable this option (not enabled by default), if you lose your key then there is no way to recover your data. End to End encryption for data security #īy far this is one of the main reasons why I have switched to Joplin. You can see below Joplin with dark mode (Nord theme) (My coding knowledge in this area is limited so I’ll stay away from this) If you are technically sound then you can edit style sheets to change the look and feel, however, I wouldn’t recommend this for common users.
Not just this, you can extend functionality with various extensions according to your needs. Whether you like dark mode or a regular white background or any other themes, it’s up to you to select. We all like customization’s, we want to make changes to suit our needs. Here is my simple setup, you can see how close it is to Evernote. It works great for me and for many years I have adopted this layout and it fits very well with my workflow.īut now with Joplin, I don’t need to learn anything new, it almost feels like an Evernote but with different window colours.
In general, I like Evernote layout like Notebooks then Notes and then Tags. Let’s examine all the points then you can decide on your own. There are many reasons why Joplin is the best Evernote alternative for 2021. Why Joplin is the best EVERNOTE alternative # Please note: this is not a sponsored post, I really like Joplin hence I thought of writing a post about it so that others may get benefited. It’s been almost a month since I switched and I have never been so happy with the overall setup. So, in my search process, I have come across Joplin. My main criteria were, there should be an Android app, a Desktop app for Both Windows & Linux and a strong focus on Privacy. So my search continued, but this time I was looking for open-source alternatives.
I have tried OneNote, SimpleNote, Notion, Dropbox paper etc. I have been looking for the best Evernote alternative for a very long time.
