About

Toplin

Features
Read full description

Toplin is a beautiful, native note-taking app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that keeps your writing your own. Write in Markdown, read beautifully typeset notes, and sync everything to your own Joplin server or to iCloud. Every feature is designed for focused, distraction-free writing. TYPOGRAPHY THAT READS Toplin ships with a hand-picked typeface stack: Marcellus for article titles, Fira Sans for interface chrome, and Noto Sans for body copy. Your writing feels like a real editorial page, not a plain text box. FEATURES β€’ Live split-view editor and preview, with linked scrolling. Scroll one pane and the other follows. β€’ Editor, Split and Preview modes for every note. β€’ Zen mode: hide the sidebar, note list and toolbar. Nothing on screen but your article. β€’ In-article search with match highlighting, next and previous navigation, and a match counter. β€’ Inline images, headings, lists, task lists and code blocks. β€’ Tag chips and folder organisation, with a live sidebar filter. β€’ A Rubbish bin with restore, so nothing is lost by accident. β€’ PDF export with the same editorial typography. β€’ Full light and dark modes, tuned for readability. SYNC YOUR WAY Choose how your notes sync when you first open the app: β€’ Joplin Only: your notes stay on your Joplin server and are kept as files on your device. β€’ iCloud Only: your notes live in your iCloud account and sync across your devices. β€’ Import once from Joplin, then keep your notes in iCloud. One writer per note means your library never duplicates itself. EVERYWHERE YOU WORK Toplin is a native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with an Apple Watch app for quick capture. Note something on your wrist and find it waiting on your phone. On Mac it respects the system appearance and the native Preferences window, and on iPhone and iPad it offers native slide-in settings. PRIVACY Your notes travel between your device and your Joplin server or your iCloud account, and nowhere else. There is no tracking and no analytics of what you write. When you sign in to Joplin, your password is stored securely in the device Keychain. REQUIREMENTS β€’ To sync with Joplin, a Joplin server, either self-hosted or hosted by your provider. Prefer to try the app first? Choose "Continue with Demo Data" during onboarding to explore Toplin with sample notes, no server needed. β€’ To sync with iCloud, an iCloud account signed in on your device. β€’ iOS 26 or later, iPadOS 26 or later, or macOS 26 or later.
