# Plugins
|
|
|
|
The **desktop app** has the ability to extend beyond its standard functionality by the way of plugins. These plugins adhere to the Joplin plugin API and can be installed & configured within the application via the `Plugins` page of the Settings menu (*Windows/Linux*: Tools > Options > Plugins; *macOS*: Joplin > Preferences). This menu allows the manual installation of the plugin using the single 'Joplin Plugin Archive' (*.jpl) file. Once the application is reloaded the plugins will appear within the plugins menu where they can be toggled on/off or removed entirely.
|
|
|
|
## Plugin Repository
|
|
|
|
Plugins are currently maintained by the community in the [Joplin Discourse 'plugins' category](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/c/plugins/18).
|
|
|
|
## Installing a plugin
|
|
|
|
To install a plugin press the Install Plugin button within the `Plugins` page of the [Configuration screen](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/config_screen.md) and select the *.jpl file. Alternatively you can copy the *.jpl to your profile's `plugins` directory directory `~/.config/joplin-desktop/plugins` (This path might be different on your device - check at the top of the `Options` page in the [Configuration screen](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/config_screen.md)). The plugin will be automatically loaded and executed when you restart the application. You may need to check Joplin is not minimising to the system tray/notification area rather than fully closing.
|
|
|
|
## Managing Plugins
|
|
|
|
Within the Joplin Plugins page you have the option to turn individual plugins on or off using the toggle control. After changing the state of a plugin Joplin must be restarted, you may need to check Joplin is not minimising to the system tray/notification area rather than fully closing.
|
|
|
|
As the plugins integrate into the application itself, each plugin may have its own configuration options within Joplin and may be executed in a number of different ways. Ensure that you read the author's documentation fully to understand how each plugin is designed to be configured and used.
|
|
|
|
## Uninstalling plugins
|
|
|
|
Within the Joplin Plugins page you can hit the 'Delete' button on a plugin and it will be removed from the list. Joplin must be restarted for this to complete. You may need to check Joplin is not minimising to the system tray/notification area rather than fully closing.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can simply remove *.jpl from the plugin directory (see Installing a plugin section). The change will be reflected on application restart.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
There is documentation of the plugin API along with documentation on plugin development. Check the [Joplin API Overview](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/api/overview.md) page for these items.
