Some areas of your life have no or little intersection. But things can get complex, and nested folders can help a lot. I know, folders have existed for decades, but Evernote does not have them, because it’s all based on tags and notebooks. I know, several other competitors are there, OneNote and Notion probably being the most eminent actors. I quickly made another one of my trips in the wild forest of the productivity apps and this time I found a serious candidate: Nimbus Note. And double-clicking on the tray bar not open Evernote, as one expects on Windows. Still not protected notebooks (only the same ugly and obsoleted text encryption), the same poor and illogical search syntax, no improvements in navigation, poor customization, and so on. Right-click on the notebooks doesn’t work.

Tagging (a key feature) is less practical. For example, you can’t export all of the notes, now. When I finally upgraded (on Windows), I realized that Evernote had disappointed me for the last time. How bad could it be? It could only be an improvement. I heard that it pissed a crowd, but it wasn’t available in my country already. And, peeping and asking around, I was one of many. Or, better, of the total absence of the support team. On top of that, at the first problem – my developer authorization didn’t work even if it should – I hit the wall of the support team. The thing wasn’t complex, even if severely limited in many ways. I tried to develop an integration of one of my applications with Evernote.

The brand grew stronger and stronger but the long-awaited features never arrived. I (together with a lot of other users) missed password protected notebooks, a decent search syntax, and a long list of other features, but, all in all, the application has been an irreplaceable tool.Īt some point, maybe with a change in the management, I noticed that marketing took over tech. Thousands of notes meticulously stored, available everywhere. Tags and offline notebooks were my inseparable friends. I’ve been a fan of Evernote, for long years.
