![]() ![]() ![]() I have nothing against Evernote – it’s a wonderful app. And before you tell me off for not supporting third-party developers, I did pay for Evernote for a good two years – just for the device syncing. You also can’t access notes offline unless you pay that monthly fee, which is an odd piece of feature-crippling, in my book. Annotating PDFs, searching for text inside Office docs, customisable templates and a 10GB monthly upload limit doesn’t excite me. At £4.99 per month, it isn’t going to break the bank, but in the new world of low-cost software, it isn’t cheap, either. ![]() The problem with Evernote’s pricing is that the paid step-up from the free plan only includes one thing I’m interested in: syncing across unlimited devices (you can only sync two on their free tier, which isn’t enough for me). I love paying third-party developers for their apps, but they need to give me a reason to do so (ahem, Notion). It has been developed past the point of a simple note-taking platform, in my opinion, and felt more cumbersome for my needs with every release. Unless you’re particularly organised with your notes and want the ability to categorise, tag and file them to the nth degree, Evernote is absolute overkill. Thank you all again, you've been great and very helpful.Evernote is a powerhouse. Parting shot to evernote.I'm really pissed at the direction you have gone in. It will be like those floppy disks I still have around here somewhere. I'll figure out how to manage it later, if ever. I am going to recreate my top level GTD aspects in OneNote, which is not as difficult to move or recreate by hand, and just do everything new in OneNote for now and access the evernote database as a reference repository for now. What I'm going to do for now is maintain my evernote data base as a "reference" data base and access it via the legacy app when needed. Not better or worse than each other, just different. There just isn’t a clean way to transfer over the structure, form, fit, function, and approach. After spending most of the day yesterday toying with different approaches and ideas, I remain frustrated, unfortunately. I want to say thank you for all of your time, ideas, and suggestions. Inventory - manuals, receipts, service records, home projects.įinancial (has an unprotected Inbox section for quick addition of notes, and encrypted sections for Banks, Cards etc.)įamily records - scans of important documents of historic and sentimental value Pile - a pile of miscellaneous records, this is also where I keep my Quick Notes section (“inbox”) Here‘s how my personal data is organized in notebooks: Think of Evernote as a giant pile of loose records connected by tags, and OneNote as a giant outline where every record has a specific place. This makes it less unwieldy, helps to speed up the initial sync and minimize sync issues (whatever issues you may encounter will be localized), gives you better control over what data you want synced to what device.īasically, if EN is built around tags, ON is built around organizational structure. It has global search across all notebooks (CTRL+E), so it makes more sense to break notes into notebooks organized by logical categories. You can of course move sections then delete notebooks, but I’d suggest saving them as an offline backup.Īlso, keeping all of your notes in one giant notebook, while possible, is probably not the most efficient use of ON. Assuming you‘re using 2016 desktop version: Select sections in one notebook, copy them to your “master” notebook, wait for it to sync, close the first notebook. Maybe there is a way to then merge OneNote Notebooks? ![]()
