In case if you want some Evernote alternatives, here's my shortlist:
1. Trilium Notes: https://github.com/zadam/trilium https://github.com/zadam/trilium
2. AppFlowy: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy
3. Affine: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE
4. Joplin: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin https://github.com/laurent22/joplin
5. Dendron: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron (requires VSCode)
As a programmer I liked Dendron the most but if you want it to be packed with absolute features, try Trilium Notes (but some considered it to be feature creep and bloated)
- 2rsf 3y agoWhich one is the most future proof? I recently tried Organice, even though it has a different feature set, because is is basically future proof even if the hosting company tops functioning
- shostack 3y agoObsidian is a bunch of markdown files.
- alsargent 3y agoThanks. As an Evernote user since 2007, and paying customer for several years, this sucks. I’m curious: why is Notion not on your short list?
- Charlie_26 3y agoDo any permit a transfer-in from Evernote?
- fprotthetarball 3y agoJoplin does, and it works rather well. I have been planning on migrating my notes since the acquisition, but wanted to see what their next move was. Joplin seems like the best at handling my mix of text notes, PDF files, and images at the moment. If it doesn't work out, though, at least I have my data in a more open form.
- eviks 3y agoJoplin does
- mesoman 3y agoStandard Notes claims to, with a caveat that there may be a format it can't handle due to Evernote adding features. A transfer-in from Evernote, either natively or through some third party utility, is a must. I'm not interested in writing something to parse .enex and put it into some other format (although .enex looks pretty easy to parse - it's xml with embedded BASE64 for some things like images).
- benoliver999 3y agoI like and use joplin. Waiting for it to sync sucks (even though it's pretty quick) but I like that you can edit in vim on the desktop and a dedicated app on mobile. I use it for recipes, where it's easiest to write them on a laptop but better to read them on a phone/tablet.

- cborenstein 3y agoI'm biased but I'd add-- - Obsidian: https://obsidian.md/ https://obsidian.md/ - Logseq: https://logseq.com/ https://logseq.com/ - Reflect: https://reflect.app/ https://reflect.app/ - Stashpad: https://stashpad.com/ https://stashpad.com/
- rehevkor5 3y agoI'm wondering what happy mediums might exist between the note-taking world, the wiki world, and the collaborative office document world. Office-oriented tools like Nextcloud or Collabora seem to be oriented to classic Microsoft Word / Google Docs style documents... not as simple as Markdown or as web-friendly as a wiki page. The note taking tools everyone's talking about don't seem to support collaborative editing. If they're file-based without a server, then you either have to lock the file for editing, or you have to always remember to sync first to avoid conflicts. Syncthing can't really handle that scenario very well. Also, wikis usually aren't file-based... they require a database. Plus they don't seem to be as lovingly designed as the note-taking tools... they seem to have a very retro MediaWiki style. Does anyone know of a self-hosted solution that checks all those boxes? File-based (perhaps aided by database driven indexing) with real collaborative editing, more web-oriented than Word-oriented?
- ShortCipher5 3y agoDisclaimer, I'm on AFFiNE's team. But I really think you can check us out as I think we can cover those boxes for you. We offer real-time collaborative editing which also works offline. We deal with all those conflict issues for you. And though we aren't file-based, we do offer various export options such as MD, HTML, PDF and images. We expect to have the latest Docker version and real-time collaboration available towards the end of this month. In the mean time I'd invite you to try the client to see how it feels.
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoAre there plans to make it e2ee?
- 3y ago
- coffeeling 3y agoDendron is no longer developed, and in any case is intended for a very different use case than Evernote. Amplenote might be a better drop-in replacement.
- sesota 3y agoAmplenote looks really promising.
- ComplexSystems 3y agoCan any of these record voice notes?
- RDaneel0livaw 3y agoI've been using StandardNotes for years and been happy with them. Is there a reason I should look elsewhere at these or other alternatives? It's just interested I am not seeing this product mentioned anywhere here!
- sebmellen 3y agoI am also surprised at how rarely Standard Notes is mentioned.
- RDaneel0livaw 3y agoI really like it ... the ios app is great, it syncs super fast, I love how easy it is to switch between plain text, markdown, todo list, etc... It's perfect for my workflow, I just find it odd that nobody else was mentioning it. So here I am doing so! If you don't use it, check it out.
- mesoman 3y agoIt looks really, really interesting. But when you say it syncs super fast... is syncing initiated manually, or do you mean that changes on one device appear on another device quickly?
- RDaneel0livaw 3y agothe latter. I can make note changes on my phone and a few seconds later sit down at my desktop and everything is updated.
- tlavoie 3y agoThey do some things really well. I like the speed and effectiveness of the sync across various devices and OSs, like a personal pastebin. I have a subscription, and was hoping that they'd converge towards something like a wiki, where the notes can link to each other. The suggestion seemed to be rejected out of hand, maybe it's just not their vision. It is mine, though, so I have migrated to Joplin, and expect to let the subscription expire at this point.
- acumenical 3y agoAm I the only one who just keeps a bunch of Sublime Text tabs open? Obsidian looks pretty good for the tagging functionality though
- gaia 3y agoUnfortunately Trilium, the closest option to Evernote (as opposed to Notion), doesn't have an Android client (there is one to send notes but not search/read). Looks like Joplin is the one checking all the right boxes (added plus of being able to sync via OneDrive, which is free, and with E2E I don't care which cloud it sits on)
- majani 3y agoGoogle Keep for people who just want a Notepad that syncs
- cellularmitosis 3y agoDo any of these replicate evernote's web clipping feature? That was definitely the killer app for me.
- gumami 3y agoYou might like the browser plug in SingleFile to save and markup pages. I've incorporated it into my obsidian vault workflow.
