Evernote has become not compatible with my rising awareness of privacy for quite a while, Joplin is a perfect alternative to it. I was using Evernote mainly for note-taking for a few years on a free plan as I could not justify the the rather hefty subscription fee. With the free plan, the ability to attach photos on a note is very limited and the worse is there is no encryption on the whole notebook even in the premium plan.
Joplin is very favoured my privacy minded users as they are able to store and manage their own database which is integrated with Google Drive or Dropbox or some other cloud services. Notes only decrypted on the device and encrypted every time before syncing to the cloud. Hence, no one will ever have access to your private data.
Furthermore there are some other interesting useful features that Evernote lacks of:
- Support of Markdown format, this is a huge bonus point for me.
- Cross platform, although the mobile version are not as good yet.
- Open source and free.
近来把用了数年的 Evernote 数据全都转上去了 Joplin，一个以隐私为主的数码笔记本。最根本的变化就是数据库不再是由别人来掌握，而是全在自己控制的范围内。不会技术的也别怕，Joplin 把设定的过程傻瓜化了。换言之就是利用既有的云服务如 Dropbox 或是 Google Drive，在上面建立一个数据库就好。其余的全部设备比如手机电脑平板等等，都会直接登陆这个数据库来存取资料。
Joplin 以下几大好处，都是 Evernote 所没有的：
- 支持笔记加密，隐秘性和安全性大增。
- 支持 Markdown，懂的人都知道这个语言格式有多好用。
- 支持无限图片上传，当然你的云端要有足够的空间。
- 最重要的来了，完全开源和免费的。
