Any distro: Flatpak from Flathub
Flathub lists it as “Joplin” (net.cozic.joplin_desktop), described as “open source note taking and to-do application”. The listing is not verified, so Laurent Cozic has not confirmed it as its own package; Flathub shows “laurent22” as the developer name. It has been installed 631,852 times, number 52 of the 94 apps in our catalog that have a Flathub install count. Flathub flags its license as free software.
Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and Zorin OS have Flathub enabled out of the box, Fedora offers it as an optional third-party repository, and on Ubuntu you install Flatpak first.
Which install method should you use for Joplin?
Start with Laurent Cozic’s own download, since the Flathub listing is not verified; on Arch-based distros the AUR is the other route.
- Laurent Cozic’s own download. Laurent Cozic publishes the Linux version itself on its website.
- Flatpak from Flathub. It is not a verified listing, so check that you trust its maintainer. No distro repository we track carries this app, so it is the route that works on any distro.
- Arch User Repository (AUR). Arch’s own repositories do not carry it, so the AUR package (3.7.22) is the Arch route. AUR packages are maintained by users, so read the build script before installing.
