Notes that sync.
No server needed.
Beautiful notes without the setup headaches. Instant sync, native apps, and AI — no server configuration needed.
Which one is right for you?
Joplin users value open-source and privacy, but many are frustrated by the technical setup required for sync, Electron's slow performance, and a UI that hasn't evolved. Craft gives you instant sync, native speed, and beautiful documents without any server configuration.
Choose if you:
- Instant sync built-in — no Dropbox/WebDAV/server setup needed
- Native apps that launch instantly — not slow Electron wrappers
- Beautiful documents with covers, images, and rich formatting
- AI assistant included — no plugins to install and configure
- Real-time collaboration — Joplin is personal-only
Choose Joplin if you:
- Open-source and self-hosted privacy is non-negotiable
- You want full control over where your data is stored
- End-to-end encryption with your own keys is essential
- You enjoy configuring sync backends and plugins

用戶為何轉向 Craft
「 I've been using Craft for about 3 years. I've tried almost every software on the market, but I keep coming back to Craft. What brings me back? UI/UX, absolutely the best mobile app for notes, publishing and sharing. Other apps? Mobile apps are so slow and usually not native to the OS.」
