Joplin for Android is almost perfect for me! Windows app changes to dark mode following system theme, but Android does not. There are night themes, but they take 3-4 clicks to switch. There have been requests over the years to make the toggle a little easier to reach but seems like not a priority. https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/easier-night-mode-switching-in-android/20874

I even tried to use Darq with Shizuku to theme the app, but doesn't seem to work for Joplin. Sigh, maybe someday Joplin for Android will follow system theme and then it will be perfect :)

I see that Joplin Server is now at v2.12.1, but still seems to be described as beta. Is it stable and ready for use?

This feature inspired me to finally transcribe my pile of handwritten notes 😳 😉

Allo

I'm wondering if there is a way in Joplin (or with another app?) to transcribe hand written text Into plain text.

Basically, I'd like to have an archive copy of my personal journal in Joplin.

I would greatly prefer something open source that runs locally. Ideally free or cheap.

Encryption was recently upgrade to use AES-256 so any app you upgrade will start using this. The problem is that apps you do not upgrade will see these encrypted notes, and will not know how to decrypt them. That will result in encryption-related errors such as a Unknown decryption method.

• First, there is no risk for your data. It cannot currently decrypted but it still there and it is not corrupted

• To ensure you can decrypt those notes, make sure you update all your apps. If you did so, and it still doesn't work double-check your version number. It should be:

  • Desktop: 2.11.11
  • Android: 2.11.1
  • iOS: 12.11.5
  • CLI: 2.11.1

• All the official releases are up-to-date however some non-official channels have not updated their releases. In that case, contact the developer for that channel, or directly install our official release.

• Once you start the upgraded version there may be some items that need to be manually processed for decryption. To do so, in the desktop app, go to Help => Sync status and click on "Retry all". In the mobile app, go to to the configuration screen, scroll down to the "Sync status" button, then press "Retry all".

Any question, feel free to ask here!

I've read people complaining on (ahem) discussion groups dedicated to other notetaking apps about how awful the mobile Joplin apps are, and how they're the reason blocking them from using the app. I don't find them awful. I find them perfectly functional and getting better with each big update. I see them as extensions to the desktop app. They don't do everything the desktop app does, but neither did Evernote when I used it. I've just finished writing an academic article using Joplin, which is my litmus test.

Keep going developers. You're doing fine, and your work is appreciated.

Hi there. I'm new to Joplin and was trying to find a way to mentally justify buying Joplin Cloud although it has Dropbox support. Is the syncing faster when using Joplin Cloud?

I think I'll end up buying it anyway because I want to support the developers but it would be nice to have an improved experience through it.

Thanks.

Hey guys I'm one of the most active mods of the Joplin reddit. I'd like to be modded here too and help build the community / roll people over

Quickly find notes, folders, and tags in a snap. Say goodbye to endless scrolling and hello to efficient note navigation! Try it today and supercharge your workflow.

Like many other subs (apparently over 5000) /r/joplinapp is going dark for the duration of the blackout.

The HN thread about it (or one of them): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36283249

One of the top comment puts it nicely:

The cheek of Reddits management is incredible. They've taken hundreds of millions in VC money hired an army of developers and yet delivered nothing to improve the user experience. All we seem to have have got out of is new reddit, a terrible, slow facebook like version of the site and an absolutely terrible mobile app. Where the hell did the money go? They use the time, labour, creativity, stories, humour, talent, wisdom, advice, skills of their users to try and make themselves billionaires whilst delivering a hopeless piece of tech in return, thats only been made useable by others people writing software to make the site bearable, Reddit Enhancement suite, Apollo, RIF. And yet here they are ready to make it rubbish again to get their filthy lucre. The more I think about it the more infuriated I get.

Thanks to Henry Heino, you may try out new Joplin feature of handwritten notes and sketches on mobile made possible with his amazing js-draw library

Adnroid releases are available at his github repo

Joplin 2.10 is here and here are some amazing improvements and bug fixes, with a focus on the mobile app.

New design for "New note" and "New to-do" buttons

If there is enough space, the button labels will be shown in full:

While for those who prefer a more narrow note list, only the button icons will be shown:

It's a small improvement, but we're confident it will make the app even more intuitive for new users.

Android app is available in the Play Store

Latest version, 2.10, is now back in the Play Store and ready for download!

Biometrics support

To make your experience even more secure, Android and iOS apps now support biometric unlock! With just a quick scan of your fingerprint or Face ID, you can unlock your app in no time. To enable this beta feature, just head over to the settings and click on "Use biometrics to secure access to the app".

Support for multiple profile

Multiple profiles are now supported in mobile app! To create a new profile, simply go to the Configuration screen and click on "Manage profiles" under the Tools section.

From there, you can easily add or remove profiles as needed.

Once multiple profiles are setup, you will see a new option in the sidebar to quickly toggle from one profile to another:

Once you've set up multiple profiles, you can easily toggle between them using the new option in the sidebar. This feature is perfect for separating your personal and work notes into independent collections.

Support for realtime search

Mobile app now has an improved search function that performs text searches in real time! No more waiting for the search results to load, they'll appear instantly as you type.

Improved filesystem sync performance

Thanks to the hard work of jd1378, the sync no longer freezes during filesystem synchronisation. We know how frustrating that can be, and we're thrilled to have solved this issue. Getting filesystem sync to work on Android is never easy due to the restrictions put in place by Google, especially since they frequently change, but we're committed to delivering the best possible experience for our Android users.
