A synced folder plugin would certainly also be nice for some purposes.
NOTION BOOSTNOTE MAC
I still wish that stuff like Spotlight search and Services was supported, as they would make Joplin a better Mac app citizen, without sacrificing the basic approach. I can certainly live without support for integration with all those web services out there. Finally, the choice of file sync and being open source are both essential for privacy concerns. And I like the plugin system very much, as it allows users to customize the app experience to a large degree. One can discuss the merits of Markdown as a user friendly note experience, but I think the advantages outweight the problems – I like that I can open a note with any Markdown editor if I choose so. Sadly, the new Evernote 10 is a large regression in this respect, as it basically has removed all those features moving to Electron.įor myself, I have decided that Joplin offers a very good replication of the Evernote experience, so this is what I am going to use for now. On Mac it supported Applescript, it exposed each note to the OS search function (Spotlight), and it supported system wide Services, which also allows some degree of integration with other apps and the OS. However, the old version of Evernote (before 10) was also the best of both worlds, as it allowed for a larger integration with the native OS, as well as with a host of online services. What kept me on Evernote for years was exactly its versatilty, data integrity and crossplatform nature – just like Joplin. While I am not sure about most of Sophie's arguments against file system based organization hold up on closer inspection for all these apps, I still think the database approach of Evernote and Joplin is powerful, as has already been argued very convincingly by Laurent and others. I don't think I'll EVER go to another editor again so I tend to be protective of how the core features of Joplin functionĪs an academic non-programmer, emigrating from Evernote on Mac/iOS, I have also been going through various note focused apps (Obsididan, Bear) as well as various "shoebox" file focused apps, such as Devonthink and Keepit. Joplin actually looks after all these things (attachments, deletions, etc) so that I don't have to. I have used Joplin for almost 18 months now after leaving Evernote and never, ever looked at another editor since. for me it was a huge headache before I even got properly started.Ĭompare that with Joplin. It might work for people who have nothing but text notes, but. Oh and forget about renaming your attachments outside of the app (or at all, from what I can tell), because you will lose your link and good luck trying to find out that you renamed that file from xowjdjkw.gif to smileyface.gif but it is still the same name in your note file. And your folder structure is an even bigger mess, because soon you have 200 attachments in the root, 600 attachments in root/archive, 300 attachments in /workingfolder/attachments, of which 150 actually belong in /archive/attachments because you moved the note but the attachments didn't follow. So now you have a note in your new folder "Archived notes" but the attachments are still in the folder "WIP". Moving a note (file) from one folder to another is possible, but.

If you delete a note, you have to manually delete the 30 images, pdf files or other attachments, because the app won't do it for you so before you delete your note, you need to manually check what images/attachments it contains and delete those first.

Plus the 200 original images still in the root of your folder because the app is not going to change those for you. That only shifts the issue a little, because now you have this folder "attachments" with 600 images in it. So you decide (too late) to go into the app setup and add all your NEW images to their own folder. The problem is that all those get added to the main folder, and each of those files gets added to the note list as a note. It didn't take long for me to realize why Laurent went for the database approach.įor starters, the folder based note system quickly becomes a mess especially when you have images or attachments in your notes. Unfortunately Obsidian doesn't offer web clipping, so that disqualifies it right away, but I decided to give it a try anyway because I hoped it would tick all the other boxes. The key features that I looked at were web clipping, syncing between devices, ease of use, searchability, stability, portability and a little bit of eye candy. I actually have, in my quest to find a perfect note app. Have you taken a look at ? (It was already mentioned in this thread, yes.) Has anyone tried it?
