Likewise, until recently and despite multiple complaints, Joplin used to store encryption passwords (and, I believe, cloud login credentials) in plaintext form in the unencrypted SQL database on desktop clients. The discussion on Joplin forum makes it very clear that this will not be addressed by the developer team unless someone contributes the code. There’s also no web clipping, no printing, and no sharing of notes from Joplin unless it’s a plaintext markdown format. It takes orders of magnitude longer and makes using Joplin on iOS a chore compared to most other similar software.

You have to save it first, then open Joplin, and use its “Attach” menu to browse to the saved file. You can’t take a screenshot or download a file and send it to Joplin right from your open browser or screenshot window, like you do with most iOS apps. One sore example is the sorry state of iOS app, that lacks very basic functionality like Share. Many ongoing issues with Joplin ecosystem haven’t been addressed in years, despite multiple user requests, and probably won’t be ever tackled unless someone decides to contribute this particular code. “Under active development” must be taken with a large grain of salt.ĭue to its nature of being basically a personal project of one active developer with a day job, a few part time helpers, and a lose community of plugin contributors, the “active” part only applies to the bits and pieces that the developer(s) are themselves interested in.
