Joplin is a solid alternative for me. You can also spin your own cloud or just buy a bit of space.
Thanks. Never heard of Joplin. Its OpenSource, uses E2E encryption and says that the notes are stored in an open format. Deffo need to do some research

The great advantage of having a ZDNet column was you immediately get responses to personal product issues in case you write them up for public consumption.
Is that what it means to you? That's an interesting angle I had not considered.
As a long time Evernote user I can say that the move from Evernote 6.x to the 10.x version has been a bit of a rough ride. I still use Evernote everyday because I did not find any other note taking tools that fit my workflow. And changing workflows ingrained over many years takes a lot of effort. Then again there are some very irritating things in the new Evernote 10.x versions of which I am constantly thinking: "are…
Being able to forward an email to create a new note has always been their killer feature for me. The majority of my tasks begin with an email. Does anybody know if any of the Evernote alternatives support this yet?
These days I use VSCode Notes, a pretty minimal extension that suits the way I work.
On Windows, when creating a new note with the keyboard shortcut, Evernote started to silently fail to save the note. Once I noticed, I checked its log, and saw that every time there was a database-related error. I reinstalled and that fixed it, but I had to stop using Evernote. I back up my notes, but that doesn't help when the program is silently failing to save them in the first place. I used Evernote for everythin…
Evernote missed the opportunity to be the first Google docs. It was perfectly lightweight to capture and organize information, often better than its peers on mobile. Didn’t seem to get ahead. OneNote is nice except it lacks offline support. Notion is even better with great collaboration but one fatal flaw, no real offline mode. Evernote was always instant on and with you for the most part, except where it started los…
Huh? If you mean purely local, yeah, that's impossible outside the Office app on Windows. But apart from that, OneNote can't even operate without downloading a full local copy of a notebook you open. Any changes you do get applied to the local copy first and then synced to the master copy on OneDrive separately.
Maybe this is just me getting old, but I feel like Evernote has only gotten worse since I started using it over 10 years ago. Back then it was just a list of notes with some formatting and sync capabilities - perfect. These days they have added all these extra features which I don't need, and which have made the whole app slow and terribly clunky. When I use the iPad app it takes several seconds to load notes or sear…
UpNote is my recommendation for an Evernote replacement: https://getupnote.com/ Cross-platform, and it feels like what Evernote was back in the day: a simple note-taking app with a beautiful UI. I replaced Evernote with it a few months ago, and it's been a daily driver since. It was first recommended to me on /r/evernote, a subreddit that has basically been echoing the OP's concerns about Evernote for the last two ye…

For a sales pitch, the slack team apparently used workflowy to coordinate dev before they launched.
