Joplin

What it is for

Joplin is a local note editor desk: you open a named notebook page and tick a checklist, and the OSS app is $0. Joplin Cloud Basic is 2.99€/month (2.40€ yearly). Use it when the job is a notebook page you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Joplin’s official Vintage Piano Store idea note (Check this tasks Get a logo done! / Check online payment services / Setup a few ads / Schedule meeting with agency, Meeting this week Tue 8 June / Thu 10 June / MeetingNotes.pdf, Poster ideas piano + record photos, notebooks All notes 13 / Personal 8 / Work 14, list Barn conference call / Hire accountant / Friday's Meeting notes) from the home-top still on laurent22/joplin — not a pricing card. The tasks themselves are ops of the note.

Key features

• Note editor — the open note with headings, tasks, tables, and images (cover still; app). One desk. Cover Vintage Piano Store idea / Tue 8 June sit here. New note sits here as a CTA, not a sixth desk.
• Notebooks — the sidebar tree (cover All notes 13 / Work 14). A notebook, not a checklist cell.
• Note list — titles in the current notebook (cover Barn conference call / Hire accountant). A list, not the open note body.
• Tags — the Tags pane (cover car / jelly / piano / store). A tag, not a task tick.
• Search — the top search box (cover). A search, not a note heading.
• Joplin Cloud — sync, publish, and share (plans). A Cloud, not a local checklist. Cloud tiles print euro, not USD.

New note / Search on the cover are CTAs (not desks). App $0 vs Cloud Basic / Pro tiles are the meter. Joplin Cloud AI (beta) is an AI extra, not a sixth desk we fold into the note.

Who it's for

Best fit: writers who will stay on the OSS app at $0 while they open a first notebook, then Joplin Cloud Basic at 2.99€/month (2.40€ yearly / 28.69€/year) when they need hosted sync — not Pro 5.99€ unless they need share-a-notebook / Email to Note.
