    It's a text editor, not a tool to organize notes

    Joplin is a wonderful program, but it's far too cumbersome: it takes ten seconds or more to launch on a PC if cloud synchronization is active (we've all become impatient...). I now only use it to capture web pages. I use Typora for my diary, coupled with a batch bat file that automatically creates an .md file with today's date every time I run it. It's just perfect.

    For those without access to their own server, this proves to be a reliable alternative, even though it has roughly the same or even fewer features.

    Faster and lighter than all Electron based apps like Joplin and pretty much all the the others, it lacks a little with the web clipper quality compared to Joplin, but the app is updated frequently and will catch up fast, it has way more options and overall features control as well.

    QOwnNote's Nextcloud integration is useful. Most Note taking apps that sync online require a paid online account. Nextcloud can be self hosted.
