Joplin
Compatibility, Markdown and annotations, in short, the Joplin. An open source note taking program that supports Markdown elements.
Overview
Joplin is a robust note taking program that allows the user to create content using Markdown.
The application interface is simple, compared to similar programs like Evernote or OneNote, but it does the job.
One of Joplin's strong points is the tool's privacy policy, the tool is recommended by the website privacytools.io.
Joplin implements end-to-end encryption, in addition to allowing you to synchronize your documents between different devices.
The Joplin contents are stored locally, but you can send your notes to services like Dropbox and Nextcloud.
More information about Joplin can be found on the official website https://joplinapp.org/.
