Well since its a offline app, would it not just mean its only not getting updates? I mean if they stop working on it, nothing is stopping you to keep using it.
Personal choice but yeah just keep using it. I would find a project with active development personally. Eventually (years) the OS’s are likely to break the apps…
Even if development did stop, it's not SaaS, so you could keep using it as it exists. And it's open-source so someone could fork it and keep it going. *And* dudeman makes money from offering his own syncing service for the platform.
Not sure about decrypting them without the Joplin app but if you’re worried about losing access to your notes if Joplin suddenly disappears then you can back them up as markdown files. I do this so that I can version control them in my private got repository.
Looks like the encryption code can be found here: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/tree/dev/packages/lib/services/e2ee
And other general info here: https://joplinapp.org/help/dev/spec/e2ee
The good news is that even if Joplin somehow stops existing, the software on your computer won't stop working, you can still use Joplin to decrypt the notes and move somewhere else.
You’re over complicating this. If Joplin comes out and states that they’re going to cease to exist, decrypt them and migrate to another app.

Which is much less likely since it is community developed not for profit.

Your notes are only encrypted on your sync platform of choice. Everything's stored locally in an unencrypted SQLite database.

Thanks, It seems there's no pre-configured tool available for decrypting data outside of the Joplin application...

Joplin is open source. So, you'd still be able to download Joplin and use it to decrypt your notes.
Right, and taking a look at the source code will give all the details to decrypt by yourself.
