User Reviews

Joplin is loved for local-first storage, self-hosting, cross-device syncing with end-to-end encryption, strong Markdown support, and open-source flexibility. It excels for privacy-minded users who want control and plugin extensibility. However, several reviews highlight recurring syncing issues and conflicts across devices, iOS-specific limitations (no iOS web clipper, banner UI, copy/paste quirks), a dated UI with occasional crashes, and limited cloud-service support (no iCloud sync; OneDrive/2FA caveats). A powerful, privacy-conscious note app with caveats around reliability and iOS usability.
Pros
  • Self-hosting/local-first storage (NAS) with privacy and control.
  • Cross-platform syncing across devices with end-to-end encryption.
  • Strong Markdown support and extensibility via plugins.
  • Open-source and privacy-focused design offering user control and transparency.
Cons
  • Frequent syncing issues and conflicts across devices, sometimes leading to data loss.
  • iOS-specific limitations and bugs, including no iOS web clipper, copy/paste quirks, and UI banners.
  • Dated UI and stability problems, including crashes and keyboard glitches.
  • Cloud-service integration limitations (no iCloud sync; OneDrive 2FA caveat; Dropbox not compatible on iOS).

I don’t know what happened but suddenly tables show up as tables even in edit mode. I can’t simply copy or paste a row as text. I can’t delete rows either. Only add them. It’s become a bit of a nightmare as I use tables a lot but i don’t like forcing a markdown renderer while in edit mode.

It seems to have a problem with saving new notebooks.
