GitJournal is an Android and iOS application that allows the creation and editing of text files in Markdown format, synchronized with a Git repository.
You’ve probably already gotten used to managing your notes in Markdown format, for example with Visual Studio Code, the popular Obsidian, or the Open Source Joplin.
GitJournal is a very interesting tool and one of the best options for taking notes in Markdown from your mobile.
To use it, we simply need to install the application and configure our Git repository with authentication data.
GitJournal features a rich editor that facilitates content creation and editing.
Furthermore, it has a tree view, which in my opinion has room for improvement. It’s very large and it becomes difficult to find the folder we want if we have several nested folders.
Regarding Git synchronization, which is GitJournal’s main function, it generally works very well and transparently. Although, if we have a complicated synchronization, it has occasionally caused a mess and I’ve had to delete the repo and recreate it.
In short, GitJournal is the best option I’ve found for managing notes in Markdown format, with Git synchronization. It still has room for improvement, but
GitJournal is free for Android and costs $3.99 for iOS. Additionally, there is a paid version that adds extra features like notes or backlinks.
It is available at https://gitjournal.io/, and in the Android and Apple stores.
