About

Barside is a free desktop productivity app that brings together notes, tasks, reading, meetings, community spaces and AI tools. Notes support links, maps, drawings, kanban boards, tables and charts, and can be imported from Notion, Obsidian or Evernote. Checklists appear on a task board with due dates and reminders. Articles and newsletters go into a reading inbox for highlighting. Community and team spaces include chat, polls, shared notes and files. Video meetings include screen sharing and live captions; screen recordings can be added to notes and edited into captioned clips. An AI assistant and scheduled agents use accounts from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or OpenRouter, and changes can be undone. Barside connects to Claude Code and Cursor through MCP. The app also includes a password vault, clipboard history and system-wide search. Notes are stored locally and work without an account.

About

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organized into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format. Notes exported from Evernote via .enex files can be imported into Joplin, including the formatted content (which is converted to Markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). Plain Markdown files can also be imported. The notes can be synchronized with various cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV or the file system (for example with a network directory). When synchronising the notes, notebooks, tags and other metadata are saved to plain text files which can be easily inspected, backed up and moved around. The application is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.
