As a PhD student, I use it to organize my research. Instead of having physical notebooks, I have virtual notebooks that I use to note and track the evolution of my ideas over time or when I need to write a report, because it syncs between my lab computer, my phone and my laptop. I also use the web clipper when I want to download and annotate a web page. I know that I could use a combination of free tools to do the same thing but I like having all of it bundled in the same package. The only big drawback is that they take my data hostage - I can't access it using a third party client (at least to my knowledge).
- rrreese 14y agoIn the windows version at least you can export your notes as html files.
- jclos 14y agoYeah I know (I'm actually on Windows and just realized the news was for the Mac version) but I'd like to have something to automatically back up all my data on a daily basis for instance. I still think Evernote is worth it though, it's purely for nitpicking.
- cing 14y agoSeconding that. I do computational research, so while I can't merge my code repositories with Evernote very cleanly, I can drag in just about everything throughout my day into Evernote to make a record. Also, the audio recordings are extremely cheap (storage-wise) so I tend to record most conversations and meetings I have. It's a vital part of my research and I don't even pay for premium.
- jclos 14y agoI never thought of that but now that you mention it importing and annotating code would be a neat feature.
