Unless something appeared out of nowhere in the past couple years, I'm pretty sure only MS' OneNote has most of those features—specifically the variety of content including web page clipping along with your own notes, and the multitude of clients. However, I couldn't get past its ‘pinboard’ organization of stuff in a note, so never really used it.
There's also Turtl that's similar to Evernote—but it uses Markdown for formatting, so also can't say anything about it.
On my part, I came to prefer my own written notes over clipped content and media, and IMO an outliner is way better than anything else for organization of such notes, specifically when keyboard shortcuts are good. Alas the competition is thin in this space: I used Workflowy for a while, which worked great for text and shown promise, but was stuck feature-wise after a couple years. Aside from Workflowy, it's pretty much Org-mode or OmniOutliner. Gotta say I do miss page-clipping from Evernote, and would be happy to see something good in this vein for Emacs/Org.
- solarkraft 7y agoOmiOutliner looks ... okay, but it's Apple only anyway. I don't see any reason to use Workflowy over Dynalist, which is what I use daily. But I'd really like to see a comparable FOSS version (Org-mode has the features in theory, but emacs just has none of the modern UX I expect and Orgzly is at best okay for quick notes).
- romdev 7y agoI also use OneNote at work for capturing anything worth remembering in a meeting, and screen grabs from a webex. It captures the text in images and indexes it for searching later, which I do frequently. I don't mix personal notes and tasks into this notebook. For several years I've used Google Tasks for organizing my personal notes because it's cross platform and works like my brain. I have a small list of things to do today, that rotates frequently, a well-organized larger "Backlog" that I pull from after I've emptied the "Today" list. There are other topical lists like "Music" for notes and tasks that don't usually get flagged as done. Some bookmarks get into Tasks, if I'm pretty sure I'll use them again. But mainly I save stories in Newsblur if I think they're worth revisiting.

From seeing the screenshots and the description for the first time, I knew it's basically ‘MS Evernote’.
