Alternote pdf2/1/2024 ![]() This past year I have aimlessly bounced back and forth between EN, DTPO, Dropbox, iCloud, Notion, GDrive, and OneNote. I used Evernote for probably 10 years and DTPO 1 year. I'm now primarily using straight Dropbox and text files. I always found myself constantly hitting the sync button because I didn't trust that what I just added on iOS would be there when I sit down at my Mac. If I'm editing a document and I pause for any amount of time, I want a sync to kick off. "We sync when we think it is appropriate." My opinion is nozbe/Evernote blows toodledo/onenote away.ĭevonThink's approach to sync is my biggest issue with it. Toodledo- ok but really more just tasks while I was using it, integrating to onenote My current setup is the best small project setup I've had in years.īack to your post the only alternatives I've tried are:Įmacs- don't feel practical in Windows and at least as of my usage no clients The icing on the cake i added recently was subscribing to nozbe to manage my tasks (reminders) i create in Evernote. I also like that it's freeform enough to develop my own style. Evernote works reasonably consist across all. I have work windows, work iphone, and personal Android tablet. What i like most about Evernote is multiplatform. However I could survive on free if starting today. ![]() For me plus is a good set of features for reasonable price. ![]() I could see a little heartburn over dropping of plus, but I got in before the drop. It often confuses me how many people judging from this sub-reddit are jumping off Evernote. I still contribute to the team based onenote stuff, but I switched to Evernote about 1 yr ago for my non team stuff and love it. I swam upstream with that in a Windows world for years,then when switching jobs one more time I just didnt feel the motivation to set it up one more time, and since everyone else was on the onenote bandwagon i tried to make it work. Maybe there are things that actually do all of these things.įunny you mention emacs. Perhaps I am looking for something that does not exist. Ultimately, I would like a platform that:Ģ) gives me a few fields (not tags) so I can put different layers of organization into the notesĦ) allows me to create storyboards with notes without actually moving things out of a database (i.e., I should be able to use my notes on multiple storyboards) I haven't seen one that does this and handles a large database well. These are all excellent, but I need to be able to drag and drop a page from a PDF file or plug in a JPEG of a photographed document without any hassle. Onenote is also cute in its own way.Ģ) There are self-hosted markdown databases. I don't see how it is better than Evernote. You get note previews and not a list of notes, which I think is not very useful for serious work. Bear, I think, falls under this category. I have tried some of the competition and what I see are two trends, neither of which are headed my way.ġ) There are apps for web clipping and light note-taking (for people who never actually consult most of their notes). I have too much work to invest much time learning something like Emacs. Note previews, "notebook-style" apps, MD editors, etc. Although I appreciate having a mobile app, what I most need is a well-functioning and fast native Mac desktop app. I am not worried about privacy as such and don't mind paying for a platform that is better suited to my needs. Evernote is not head and shoulders above the competition on this front, but it's good enough to cause inertia. I have a little more than ten thousand notes, some of which have clipped images and PDF files. I use Evernote primarily as a filing cabinet for research notes. ![]() As a long time Evernote user, I am - and have been - ready to ditch the service because it is 1)expensive to keep 2)it is cluttered with features without giving me much by way of organizational features.
