    Evernote roughly doubbling the price - I see this as a HUGE damage of my trust. I feel felt hostage from Evernote. And even if it might be costly for me in terms of time and money:
    I WILL LEAVE EVERNOTE.
    I will not tolerate this kind of being held hostage, no way!

    I've been with Evernote first, then Notion (tired of lag, also poor image management), then OneNote (like how fast it is), finally I'm now with UpNote extremely well-made application. Unbelievably cheap, I encourage you to give it a serious try. I like how clean are my stuff now 👌

    1) If you are selecting a new tool, make sure you understand if you can get your data out in a manner that you are comfortable with. To me, this is where Evernote falls down. 2a) I love Bear notes. It has a built in feature to import Evernote ENEX files. Also, I have been testing Bear ver 2.0 and it is a nice update. 2b) I'm surprised that Craft was not listed in this video. Considering what you get, it is much more affordable than Evernote - only ⅓ the cost. LASTLY - both Bear & Craft allow you to get your data out in multiple data formats in order to take it anywhere!

      Hi, you got my attention there with those two apps: would you care to go in a little more detail about how Craft & Bear differ or have similarities between them? Thx for the help, i'm actually considering migrating all of my 11,000+ notes for the very first time in years so i'm actually quite nervous. Specially when it comes to security, privacy of the content & basic performance reliability... i really don't want to mess it up since it's a big data of notes to migrate all into.

    I was pretty happy when I found free evernote in 2015, and could practically write a note either from my mobile and retrieve in laptop or write on laptop and retrieve on mobile. But now it keeps bugging me with upgrade and buy subscription pop ups. It has even stopped me from making any more notes! This vlog is a boon. I will try a new free version of any of those suggested here! Thanks 🙂

    I've used Evernote since 2009, but with the price increases and features for Personal use taken away, I'm starting to consider other options. I don't need task management, calendars or project management garbage, so I guess my needs are simpler. I would like a web clipper feature, I use it a lot. I'm on Windows, so that eliminates all the Mac/IOS apps. I don't really like Notion. I'd like to be able to import my Evernote data and have a backup option as well as being able to use it on multiple devices. Seems looking for a replacement is going to be a long slog. :-/

    I transitioned from Evernote to Apple, and the switch has proven to be incredibly beneficial. By solely utilizing Apple's native applications, I have successfully resolved all the issues I previously encountered. Remarkably, even when it comes to organizing and connecting notes, I have discovered a suitable solution within Apple's suite of tools. Regrettably, many individuals tend to overlook the exceptional capabilities that Apple provides for everyday tasks on their platform.

    I needed a less expensive Evernote replacement that was:
    multiplatform (windows, linux, ios, android)
    imported evernote
    supported note sharing with my spouse
    I considered Obsidian, Joplin, Notesnook and Zoho Notebook.
    I ended up migrating to Zoho Notebook. The import was good, but not 100%. It wasn't too difficult to manually import the notes that didn't correctly migrate. I've ended up restructuring the notes because Zoho doesn't have a way to group notebooks (stacks in Evernote). I ended up using collections, which can contain notes and other collections.

    I'm always looking for alternatives. I left Evernote twice, because the grass is greener on the other side. Of course I came back. Evernote is the gold standard for a reason. The price is certainly a factor, but more important is the productivity/price ratio, which is unmatched by other note taking apps.

  • @mrdhksan
    @mrdhksan 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A critical factor in choosing an alternative for long-time Evernote users is understanding how difficult it is to migrate your current notes into the new app. Also, whether it will migrate *fully* or just *partially* (ex. notes containing text, image, video, audio, tables, file attachments, etc.). It’s one thing to start using an alternative from *scratch*, but a completely different ballgame if you need to rehouse your existing notes, and do it without a huge time investment for the transition.

    One item that Nimbus has that Evernote does not have is the ability to create sub folders. Probably not a game changer for most people but for me this is very important and it does not get mentioned much . I can't use Evernote for that reason and hence Nimbus is strong option

    This video hasn’t aged well. I must admit that I also was very wary about the acquisition of Evernote by Bending Spoons. But it turned out for the best and may have been the best thing that happened to our favorite note taking app. Evernote is now almost reaching adult age and Bending Spoons dealt with the growing pains . I am glad I stayed the course and keep having Evernote a central place in my digital life.

    Very suprised to see the Obsidian screen recording showing the source mode... live preview has been out for a long time and that seems a little misleading with what the experience looks like, especially with the aethetic update to core as well changing the look.
    The recent bookmarks plugin added much more flexible file/search/folder organization which many evernote users could use.
    Of course I am biased 😆

    Thank you for your review here of alternatives to Evernote. With their recent shift in ownership and pricing increases, I am in the market for an alternative solution but I really only use evernote as a digital filing cabinet, to store statements, documents, PDFs, web clippings etc. and much less a need for actual note taking, tasks or reminders. Might you be able to suggest an alternative that does a great job to store, organize and find documents?

  • @eddu4361
    @eddu4361 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The problem with these tools is not only the functionality you get but also and maybe more important, will the tool be around for the next 10 years or so. You don't want to switch every few years with thousands of notes in your Evernote. Especially none of these tools can export the notes to a standard format like xml or something like it and also there are no import options for an exported file in a standard format. Of course the tools want to tie you to the tool and even lock you in. But the ability to export too and import from a standard format file would be a deal breaker for me. Pity Evernote was not sold to Microsoft, Google or Apple. Than you would know for sure it would be around for a long time to come.

  • @ogdanem

    I need to understand how PKM apps are alternatives to Evernote? How do you compare an app that has a vast ecosystem, connects with everything, and is available on all platforms with excellent mobile apps. The only natural alternative to Evernote is Onenote. All the rest need to catch up. At the moment, Evernote is still the leading note app, and I have tried many of them. At first glance, all apps are promising, but they all measure when you start to collect and have massive data in the long run. Don't forget that Evernote is 10 years plus, and people have collected tons of data, which shows that this app is very reliable! So please show us real apps that work in the long run and not apps that I need to play with all day so they will work as I wish.

    Enough is enough! I'm incredibly disappointed with EN. EN continues to promise and underdeliver in fundamental areas. Now, a $15/mo subscription fee is being identified as the recovery plan. $15!?! Per month?!? This velocity in price increases is absurd! This is another version of companies moving from a purchase model to a subscription model with a increase squeeze each time they get hungry for revenue. An extreme example is similar to Tesla promising FSD and raising the price with undelivered promises. After more than 15 years with the EN, I'll take the exit ramp.

    We can't compare Evernote to anything. Each tool has its specialties. For example: I use Microsoft 365 at my company. The entire team is integrated with Planner, Teams, Onenote and Outlook. These tools give us integration in everything. There is no need for any other external. Sometimes we use Trello for specific matters. I use Evernote for personal matters, archiving information ONLY MINE. That's all!. In Evernote I can save all my passwords so that I enter the note's password and this note is hidden, without a trace. In Onenote I can't do this.
