Evernote isn't a tool where I'd create new stuff. There's no tool that would OCR and index EVERYTHING and offers the send-by-mail functionality while being reliable and trustworthy enough to hold all my digital data. So I've tried every tool out there, but nothing has yet come close to replacing my Evernote. I'm a big note-taker and a productive organizer and addicted to trying out new tools. Everything is there, safely stored, indexed, and always available via any modern device or the web browser. And my EN email address is always BCC-ed on the important emails I send.

I rarely tag anything, and I always find things.Įvery important email I receive gets forwarded to Evernote. The rest are leftovers, relics of the past. Nowadays, I have the Inbox, Work folder, Learning, and Writing folder. In the past, I used to fiddle around with folders, tags, and such crap, until I realized how useless that is - especially if you have a great built-in search function. These days, I don't sign any document without immediately taking a photo of it and storing that in my Evernote. With this, all the receipts, invoices, and all kinds of written documentation ended up stored in the Green Elephant.Īs the phone cameras improved, the Fujitsu scanner was pushed aside for a much more convenient iPhone camera. Existing paper documents were scanned and then archived or trashed.Īnd I got into a habit of processing the fresh incoming paperwork weekly. Once I figured out that Evernote can OCR the PDFs, photos, and even handwritten documents, I purchased one of those fancy Fujitsu scanners and started digitizing ALL my paperwork. I've got over six thousand notes stored in Evernote, and that's a substantial digital graveyard of my past dozen-ish years. Why Evernote (from ) I’ve been an Evernote premium since 2009, so what’s my perspective? And by improve, I mean brings it back on feature parity with the legacy version. Only Evernote knows how many people have actually canceled their €6,99 Premium subscription.īut it feels like the disappointed ones are the loudest and that there is the silent majority who may or may not be upset, but they wait till EN Team improves it. Is it still worth it? So many people are disappointed by this new version, threatening to- or really quitting. Also on Notion, Roam Research, Scrivener, and Apple Notes. Evernote Premium user since 2009, this is my take on the new EN.
