Joplin
Open-source Evernote alternative built on markdown.
Joplin is a free, open-source note-taking app positioned as the markdown-native Evernote alternative: notebooks, tags, full-text search, a web clipper, and end-to-end encrypted sync via Dropbox, OneDrive, or Joplin Cloud.
Every note is markdown with an optional rich-text editing mode, and Evernote imports convert to markdown automatically. It runs on all five major platforms with feature parity.
