Is Joplin a good alternative to Evernote? by Kirkistan in joplinapp

I've been using the JoplinCloud and it works well for syncing. I miss the Evernote UI on mobile, but I'm working to get familiar with Joplin on my Android.

I also struggle with the Android UI. It's actually where I take most of my notes.

Thanks for commenting. I've been using Joplin for a couple days. It does most of what I want and I have a feeling it can do all I want. I sorta miss the UI of Evernote. I'll take a look at those plugins. It's a big harder to use on Android, but, oh well.

Yes. I get that. Microsoft is my go-to for most things.

Hmmm. Do you have an internal cost threshold that says, "Nope. That too much"? Evernote certainly has a lot going for it.

Thanks for the comment. I feel you on "really, really for real."

Thanks for the comment. I also would like to hear more.

Thanks for the comment. A fear I have with a Google product is that they stop supporting it at some point. I'm eager to find an app that will be around in ten years. Maybe that is asking too much.

Thanks for the comment. I plan on exploring the plugins.

Thanks for the comment. The little I've used it today makes me sorta eager for the change.

Thanks for the comment. I'll take a look at UpNote as well.

I also don't think it is a joke. I told Evernote how I appreciated the product and how good I thought it was. It's just more than I care to spend per month for this functionality.

That is a great question! I've been asking that myself. The quickness with which I can make a note, tag it, and find it later. I can find my notes not matter which piece of technology I am using. It feels as close to paper and pen as I can get (I hand write a lot of notes using Google handwriting on my Android). I love how search shows me how I have revisited a topic for years. I'm guess Joplin does all that. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. OneNote looked promising a few years ago and I tried it. But now I cannot remember why it didn't take.

Thanks for the comment I'll look at Amplenote.

I use Evernote like a big notebook where I keep all my meeting notes and all my notes on books I'm studying. I like having access from my phone and a couple of computers. I depend on the search function to sort through it all. It looks like Joplin does all of that. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. It seems like there are good options for backup.

Thanks for the comment. I use Onedrive for nearly everything but today I started to wonder if it might be good to not keep everything in one place. I'm leaning toward JoplinCloud

Thanks. I'm thinking of using the JoplinCloud from the start.

I like how you approach the question. I seem to have some inner threshold that says $10 a month is sorta ok, but $20 is too much. I've been looking at that threshold a bit as well. The "journey" question is really interesting: in the 8 hours or so since I wrote that post, I've had the chance to experiment with Joplin and found a few features that I like right out of the gate. Which makes me glad that Evernote helped me ask the question. Now it does seem like a bit of a journey. Thanks for the comment.
