What is a .JEX file?
A .JEX file is a type of file used by Joplin, which is a free program for writing notes and making to-do lists. This file is like a box that can hold many things from Joplin such as notes, to-do lists, pictures, and other files attached to the notes. People often use .JEX files to save all their Joplin notes and lists in one place, so they can keep a backup or move them to another computer or phone.
You can open a .JEX file using the Joplin app on different devices like computers (both Windows and Mac), iPhones, and Android phones. Here’s how you can work with .JEX files in Joplin: - To open a .JEX file in Joplin, go to the menu and choose File, then Import, and select "JEX - Joplin Export File." - To save your notes as a .JEX file, go to the menu and choose File, then Export, and select "JEX - Joplin Export File." Inside, a .JEX file is really a .TAR file (a kind of file that stores other files together in one place) that has been renamed. It keeps the notes in formats like Markdown, HTML, or plain text. It also saves extra details about each note, such as when it was last changed, where it was created (if location services are used), and any tags you might have added to help organize your notes.
You might come across a .JEX file if you use Joplin yourself, or if someone who uses Joplin sends you their notes or lists. This makes it easy to share a lot of information at once or to keep a safe copy of important notes.
