About:
Joplin CLI is a powerful command-line interface for the Joplin note-taking application. It allows users to manage notes, notebooks, and tags directly from the terminal, offering full synchronization with cloud services like Nextcloud, Dropbox, and OneDrive. This tool is ideal for developers and power users who want to integrate their note-taking workflow with shell scripts and command-line environments.
Key Features:
  • Full terminal-based note management (create, edit, delete)
  • End-to-end encryption for secure note synchronization
  • Support for Markdown, notebooks, tags, and resource attachments
  • Integration with cloud storage providers (Nextcloud, Dropbox, etc.)
Use Cases:
  • Managing notes and tasks directly from the terminal or SSH sessions
  • Automating note creation or updates via shell scripts
  • Syncing a personal knowledge base across devices with high security
Alternatives:
  • obsidian-cli – Obsidian CLI is focused on local file operations for a specific vault format, whereas Joplin CLI offers built-in multi-provider synchronization.
  • nb – nb is a simpler, pure-shell CLI notebook manager that lacks the advanced synchronization and rich ecosystem of Joplin.
