Top 15 Best Evernote Alternatives You Can Use

1

Evernote

Evernote is one of the oldest and most feature-packed note-taking software. The app offers a ton of different ways which you can use to collect notes. You can create text-notes, voice-notes, and use Evernote’s Web Clipper tool to directly save entire articles in your notes. However, all these features have made Evernote very clunky and complex. Another big negative for Evernote is that the company doesn’t seem to be stable. Just an year back, Evernote lost its CFO, CTO, CPO, and HR head in just one month. The company is going on, but the future remains uncertain. Add that to the fact that the paid version of the app costs a hefty $4.99/month, no one can blame you for looking at Evernote alternatives. Well, if that’s the case, here are the 15 best Evernote alternatives that you can use in 2020.

Notion

If you are a person who needs more features than what Evernote offers, Notion is just for you. Notion is a note-taking app which does much more than just allowing you to take notes. Notion is an all-in-one work-space which allows you to take notes, create an internal wiki of notes, collect research material from the web in form of links, text, and images, create table and databases, manage projects and tasks, and more.

OneNote

While I’m not convinced as to which one (Evernote or OneNote) is better, I’d like to point out that: 1. There is tagging in OneNote for Windows 10 – the built in version (Version 16001.11231.20118.0) 2. You can import OneNote notes (Notebooks that are open in the OneNote 2016 Windows desktop version — that can be run parallel to the Windows 10 version) into Evernote directly from the Evernote (Windows desktop version) Import menu (it gives you 2 options: OneNote and Evernote). From there you can use all the Evernote export functions (which are not very robust).

Simplenote

If you are someone who is looking for a simple note-taking app which offers an intuitive and easy-to-navigate UI, Simplenote is the one for you. Simplenote is one of the best note-taking app which not only offers a no-nonsense interface but also brings most of the basic features that you might require from a note-taking app. You can easily create text-notes, reminders, to-do list, and more.

Google Keep

Google Keep is one of the best note-taking apps in the market right now, and it also happens to be my most favorite app on the list. I love how Google Keep displays all my notes in the form of simple cards which not only makes the notes look beautiful but also makes it easy to scan through them at a glance. I also love the ability to color code my notes which makes it easier to find the exact note that I am looking for.

Notejoy

Other features of the app include pinned notes, image galleries support, support for any kind of documents including word, PDFs, Google Doc, and more, markdown support, tags, and more. All these features make Notejoy great for people who like to work in shared spaces. If Evernote was unable to meet your note sharing needs, you should give Notejoy a chance.

DEVONthink

If you are one of those few people who has surpassed the limits of Evernote, and even it cannot fulfill all your needs, DEVONthink 3 is just for you. In fact, calling DEVONthink a note-taking app will be undermining its full potential as it’s not only a note-taking app, it’s also a full-blown document management system that can handle PDFs, links, and more. The app even has a built-in browser which lets you open the links inside the app itself.

Keep It

If you are a Mac user, Keep It can serve as a good Evernote Alternative option for you. Keep It is from the guys who previously created Together 3 which was one of the most famous note-taking apps on the Mac. Their new product brings a better and more organized user interface which not only looks good but is also very intuitive.

Zoho Notebook

It also supports the multi-window editing feature in iPad. The app also supports Google Keep like color coding of your notes, making it easier to find the notes you are looking for. Zoho Notebook is one of the most fully featured note-taking apps you can use. The fact that it also looks good also helps.

CintaNotes

CintaNotes is a very good Evernote alternative for Windows users. It is a lightweight, fast, and simple note-taking software which makes it really easy to save notes to your device. The app allows you to clip information from almost anywhere. Any information that you can copy can be clipped to CintaNotes. Just, select the information and hit Ctrl+F12.

Roam Research

Roam Research is a new player in the town, and it’s taking the note-taking industry by the storm. Normal note-taking apps depend on a system of folders and tags for organizing your notes. While Roam Research has support for tagging, the main USP of Roam is that it lets you create links between notes.

Milanote

Some people are visual thinkers, and they need a different note-taking experience. For them, I suggest Milanote. Milanote is kind of an endless whiteboard where you can add notes, columns, photos, links, and more. You can create multiple boards and even nest boards inside other boards. The app is really good and responsive, and I love the clean look and feel of it. I find it perfect for doing creative work like story-boarding and planning a novel. But you can also use it for things like managing tasks and even entire teams.

Bear-Writer

Bear is another great note-taking app for people who don’t like to confine their notes inside a folder. Instead of using folders, Bear uses tags. And since a note can have multiple tags, it can exist in multiple locations. Bear also allows you to link notes to other notes, thereby allowing you to create wiki-style notes.

So if you are you’re worried about information leaks, competitive advantage, or surveillance, this is the right app for you.
