Mobile application: Click on the Synchronise button and input your OneDrive credentials.Īny kind of file can be attached to a note in Joplin these are called "resources." In Markdown, links to these files are represented as a simple ID to the resource.For example, this would do it every 30 minutes: This can be used to set up a cron script to synchronize at regular intervals. You can also synchronize outside of the user interface by typing joplin sync from the terminal. After that, the application will synchronize in the background whenever it is running. You will be asked to follow a link to authorize the application.

After that, the application will synchronize in the background whenever it is running, or you can click on Synchronise to start a manual synchronization. You will be asked to log into OneDrive to authorize the application (simply input your Microsoft credentials you do not need to register with OneDrive). Desktop application: Click on the Synchronise button in the sidebar.To initiate the synchronization process, follow these steps: The application does not have access to anything outside this directory. When syncing with OneDrive, Joplin creates a subdirectory in OneDrive, in /Apps/Joplin, and reads/writes the notes and notebooks from it.

A Dropbox driver will also be available once this React-Native bug is fixed.
This synchronization backend is designed to be durable and future-proof.Ĭurrently, synchronization is possible with OneDrive (by default) or the local file system (which allows synchronizing via a network share). Each note, notebook, and tags, as well as the relationships between items, is transmitted in plaintext files during synchronization, which means the data can also easily be moved to a different application, backed up, inspected, etc. Switching from one service to another or even to syncing to multiple services at once is possible. the ability to read, write, delete, and list items.

It is easy to support new services by creating simple drivers that provide a filesystem-like interface, i.e. Most of the synchronization process is done at an abstract level, and access to external services, such as OneDrive or Dropbox, is done via lightweight drivers. As such, its synchronization is designed without any hard dependency to any particular service. One of my goals when creating Joplin was to avoid being tied to any particular company or service for synchronization. Joplin is offline-first, so data is always available on the device, even without an internet connection. They are based on open standards and technologies including SQLite and JavaScript for the backend, and Terminal Kit (Node.js), Electron, and React Native for the three front ends.
All the applications have similar user interfaces and can synchronize with each other. To that end, I have developed three Joplin applications, all under the MIT License: for desktop (Windows, MacOS, and Linux), for mobile (Android and iOS), and for the terminal (Windows, MacOS, and Linux).

I started developing Joplin when Evernote changed its pricing model and because I wanted my 4,000+ notes to be stored in a more open format, free of any proprietary solution. Any number of files, such as images and PDFs, can be attached to a note, and notes can also be tagged. The notes can be edited in Markdown, either from within the app or with your own text editor, and each application has an option to render Markdown with formatting, images, URLs, and more. It can handle a large number of notes, organized into notebooks, and can synchronize them across multiple devices. Joplin is an open source cross-platform note-taking and to-do application.
