Programs that open and convert NOTEDB files:
- Joplin
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. NOTEDB files are often referred to as Joplin databases because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- JoplinA .NOTEDB file is a compressed archive, specifically a ZIP archive, containing a note database used by the Joplin note-taking application. It stores notes, attachments, metadata, and other data related to the user's notes, allowing for backup, portability, and synchronization across devices. The internal structure within the ZIP archive is proprietary to Joplin and conforms to its specific data organization. While the .NOTEDB extension strongly suggests an association with Joplin, it is theoretically possible for other software to utilize the same extension. However, in practice, .NOTEDB files are almost exclusively generated and used by Joplin. This file format is classified as Database File.

- 99% of all NOTEDB files use ZIP compression, i.e. a NOTEDB file contains several compressed files. 2 to 3 compressed files with names like note.db and version are common. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. The files are often between 250 KB and 4 MB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. note.db. Examples of file names are 20180601.notedb. Files like these have the following tags: notes.
