andgregorik Joplin caters to a somewhat different user base: more simplistic, quicker, requires way less IT/wiki savvy just to operate daily. It also has pitch perfect syncing which is not Zim's cup of tea. Still, the moving parts are similar, and it can work as an alternative.LordMax IT's not so similar to Zim Desktop, it's really near to evernote/nixnote It can be a good replacement too - Google Keep has several features including color coding notes, inserting images, creating lists, geo-fencing, shareable notes, and search by color.

JohnFastman Simplenote is much less functional than Zim (no rich-text, no attachment to notes) and although it does work on mobile, it syncs your data via web-facing servers on which your info is held unencrypted. In that respect your information is much more vulnerable to hackers and govt agencies than if you used Zim, stored the data locally and maybe - if you need - sync it with an end-to-end encrypted service like Spideroak, Tresorit or Seafile (Seafile encrypts file content, not metadata).Free and free of problems. Just simple. - Powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files. View 56 alternatives to Obsidian

Evernote does not provide capability to organize data for outlining/collection data. Evernote is based on tags (so it is rather "chaotic") and people looking for a more structured way to organize information, benefit from ZIM.JohnFastman Evernote is proprietary, closed source and stores user data in unencrypted format on web-facing US servers, which is terrible for privacy and security. They have been hacked in the past and are subject to US laws that force them to disclose data with authorities. They also refuse to support Linux operating systems. Their clients on Mac and Windows are very different and both lag significantly after about 500 notes are in the database. Evernote are the past.fih10golts Complicated, non-free. Zim is just OpenSource notes. - TiddlyWiki is a highly customizable notewiki for capturing, organising and sharing complex information. View 115 alternatives to TiddlyWiki
