What happened to Evernote? Where to go next?

The app is slow as hell. Where to go next?

I’m using Evernote on my iPhone SE with software version 15.4.1. Evernote version 10.27. It’s extremely slow. I forget what I want to write by the time the app opens up, I click on new note, cancel the upgrade dialog box, click on the text area to type after accidentally clicking on the template icon and waiting for it to close. WTH Evernote!

Where to go next? I already use onenote at work and the stupid thing mixes my personal and work notes when I add my personal account.

I use a windows PC. So apple notes is out.

Google Keep is a fleeting product. The moment you feel settled in they’ll uproot it.

Have you checked out Logseq? Joplin? All good alternatives IMO.

I've been using Notion for the last 2 years. It has more complexity but it's exactly what I had been looking for for years

https://standardnotes.com/ - I use it for the past few years and am quite happy with it. Text-only, but I view this as more of a feature…

Depends on what you want:

- Obsidian - all the notes are stored offline on your computer which you can sync using GDrive or Dropbox if you want (has app for Windows)

- Notion - it's an all-in-one note-taking and project management tool, free to use and runs directly in the browser (however, if you write a lot, you might not like it)

- Logseq - if you prefer to take notes in bulleted format, free to use and cross-platform

Joplin note app works on ownCloud/nextCloud/DropBox/iCloud or Joplin cloud.

The app is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. A terminal app is also available!

E2EE and fast client app.

Using it across five different platforms using my ownCloud, I am.

Oh, yeah; front-end PIN too for mobile apps.

I use Simplenote. It is quite minimal and if all you require is to store some notes, then it will work great else you might be better off with some more feature rich product. It is owned by Automatic (owners of wordpress) so I have hope that they'll keep it working without much drastic changes or need to monetize it.
