I started using Joplin recently and like it, but I'm not sure it quite fits what I'm looking for in this case
Does it encrypt at rest or only in transit? I haven't been able to find a clear answer (which makes me believe it's not)
That, I can’t tell you - I tend to move to pen and paper for anything too sensitive, so I haven’t looked too deeply into that feature
Fair enough - I hadn't even considered going old school, but that might be a good idea! Thanks for the comments
It has full E2EE, the files are encrypted on your own system and whatever server you use.
edit: you just have to explicitly set it up using your own chosen keyphrase.
It's encrypted during transit only (if using HTTPS), though you can look into an encrypted filesystem on the server and the clients you use.
Sorry, but you are mistaken. Joplin definitely encrypts data at rest if you enable end-to-end encryption: https://joplinapp.org/e2ee/
Nice! I didn't realize this was a feature of Joplin!
