About Joplin

Joplin is an open-source note-taking and to-do application started by Laurent Cozic in 2016, available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and the terminal. Notes are organized in notebooks, sub-notebooks and tags, and Joplin is often compared to Evernote.

It is offline-first: notes are stored locally and synced on demand with Joplin Cloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud, WebDAV or a file system, with optional end-to-end encryption. On Windows it comes as an installer or a portable executable. You can switch between Markdown and Rich Text editors, attach images, video, PDFs and audio, write math and diagrams, clip web pages from Chrome or Firefox, and customize the app with plugins and themes.

Download via Quark Drive

Quark Drive link coming soon

We’re still preparing the Quark Drive share for this app. It will appear here once it’s ready. Tap “Request” to bump it up.

How to install

“Windows protected your PC”

SmartScreen shows this for apps without a paid signature. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.

Antivirus blocks it

Open-source apps are often flagged because they aren’t commercially signed. Check the SHA256 first, then allow it in your antivirus.

Won’t start, or a DLL is missing

Usually a missing runtime. Install Microsoft’s Visual C++ Redistributable (x64) and the .NET Desktop Runtime, then try again.

Check the file

Run this in Command Prompt and compare the result with the SHA256 listed for the cloud file:

certutil -hashfile "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\file-name" SHA256
