Revisiting EverNote
Thought About Going Back
I recently started a new job that requires me to use a Windows computer. Consequently, I need to find a way to transfer files from my Macintosh to my Windows 11 computer for work. This situation has also led me to reevaluate my use of Evernote.
Left Evernote in July 2020
I stopped using Evernote in July 2020, mainly because I wasn't utilizing it enough to justify the cost. However, I reconsidered it recently when they offered a 50% discount on their yearly subscription, prompting me to revisit the application.
Alternatives
I've explored several alternatives to Evernote. One is the Day One journal app, which I find excellent, but its compatibility with Windows is limited. Fortunately, they've recently introduced a web version, enhancing its usability on Windows.
Another alternative is Microsoft OneNote, especially since my current company uses Microsoft 365. This subscription grants full access to OneNote, making it a cost-effective and appealing alternative to Evernote.
Google Keep has also been useful for basic note-taking. Its accessibility across both Windows and Macintosh platforms is a significant advantage.
Upon reevaluating Evernote, I struggled to find unique benefits over these alternatives.
Final Thoughts
For now, I've decided not to return to Evernote. While it's a great application, I can't justify spending $69 now and potentially $129 next year, given that the alternatives meet my current needs. Microsoft OneNote seems like the most likely platform for my work-related notes.
