As you may know, Evernote has been struggling in recent years. The company was sold to a Milan-based developer called Bending Spoons, which laid off 129 employees. More recently, it was announced that Bending Spoons would be abandoning its U.S. operations almost entirely, shifting Evernote development to Europe.

This news has left many Evernote users wondering what the future holds for the app. Some are concerned that Evernote may no longer be able to provide the same level of service, while others are worried about the security of their notes.

If you’re looking for an alternative to Evernote that will help you stay productive, here are 4 great options to consider:

Notion: Notion is a powerful note-taking app that allows you to create and organize your notes in a variety of ways. It also has a built-in wiki, kanban board, and calendar.

Obsidian is a more lightweight note-taking app that is focused on flexibility and customizability. It uses a graph database to store your notes, which makes it easy to find and connect related information.

Remnote: Remnote is a new note-taking app that is designed to be easy to use and efficient. It uses a spaced repetition system to help you remember your notes, and it also has a built-in collaboration feature.

Bear: Bear is a minimalist note-taking app that is known for its beautiful interface and powerful search features. It’s a great option for users who want a simple and distraction-free way to take notes.

If security is your most important need then Obsidian and Bear might be the best choice for you.

So if you’re feeling concerned about the future of Evernote, I encourage you to check out one of these alternatives.

Closing:

Let me know if you have any questions about these apps. I have used all but Remnote (thinking of exploring it so this is why I added it to the post).

TL;DR: Evernote is struggling, so here are 4 great alternatives for productivity: Notion, Obsidian, Remnote, and Bear.

I hope this helps!

    I’d add Simplenote to the list. Text only although you can add images via markdown image URLs. It’s multi device and syncs well.

    I moved from Evernote to Simplenote many years ago and use it for reference info that I may want to search for later or for daily todos and priorities whenever my moleskine is not at hand and transfer later when it is.
