Joplin note-taking application

Joplin is a free, open-source note-taking and to-do application that was created by Laurent Cozic in 2017. As an open-source project, its code is contributed to by developers from around the world, meaning it is not 'manufactured' in a traditional physical sense but rather developed globally across multiple countries.

The brand is centered around privacy and decentralized data, allowing users to sync their notes across various cloud services. Because it is an open-source project licensed under the MIT License, there is no traditional corporate ultimate owner in the sense of a multinational conglomerate. Instead, it is managed primarily by its original creator and a community of independent contributors, often represented legally through associated open-source entities or foundations that ensure its continued development and availability to the public.
