Evernote used to be the note-taking app back in the day. Just curious. Is anyone still using it regularly now? Or have you moved on to something else? What made you stay or switch?

I just go this app and it seems crazy great.
Is it your favorite.
I primarily use an iPad but want a home base on my computer for when I’m at computer. I work in construction so I need to be right here right now and then go resolve it on computer

Still rooting for EN, but ...

I’ve been a paying en customer for a long time, and I still use it because there is a lot I genuinely like about it (and honestly, also muscle memory)

At the same time, I’ll be honest: seeing so many longtime users talk about moving away from en has me a little concerned. I don’t want to pile on or turn this into another 'Evernote is doomed' post, because that’s not really where I’m coming from.

I want en to win. I just also want to feel more confident about where it’s headed.

A few things I’d love to see:

  • Full Markdown support
  • Better internal note linking
  • A backlinks view, so I can see which notes point to the one I’m on
  • A simple list of links that each note points out to
  • More themes, especially better dark mode options
  • More visual customization overall
  • Stronger offline reliability
  • Better export options that preserve folders, tags, links, and formatting
  • Better performance with large note libraries
  • Easier bulk editing for tags, notebooks, and note details
  • Split pane editing and preview for Markdown
  • A clearer roadmap for people who use Evernote heavily

Evernote still has some real strengths. The web clipper is great, OCR is useful, the app is everywhere, and a lot of us have years of notes sitting in it.

I’m not asking Evernote to become a completely different product. I’d just like to see it lean into the things that would make longtime users feel like the product is still moving forward.

Basically, I’m still here. I’d just like fewer reasons to wonder if I should be making an exit plan.

Why do I have to pay USD 2**.*** for an app that feels completely useless for my needs?

For many people, this may just be money. But for me, this amount is truly huge. The most painful part is that I barely even used the app.

I submitted a refund request, but they only told me they could refund 39% within 60 days. What about the rest of my money? 😭

I sincerely hope the team at Evernote can review my case again and offer more help. I feel so lost right now and honestly don’t know what to do next.

Please, if anyone has advice… what should I do now? 🙏

Evernote getting worse...video example

I have been an Evernote user for a long time, but recently had to try and use the web version some more instead of the native app. What a shitshow. Made a video...

Evernote just got mermaid diagrams!

I was talking to a client online and taking notes in Evernote, as I usually do. My computer has been very slow so I miss a lot when typing. Then I remembered that Evernote can record meetings, and I tried it for the first time. And tried the transcription.

I've been doing this with Zoom, so it's nothing new, but it *is* new on Evernote, where I do most of my work. I'm shocked at how well it worked. It transcribed a conversation that was part Spanish and part English. My Spanish isn't great, but it looks like it did a good job. And compared to my notes, it's extremely helpful.

We're all doom and gloom here, and I am too because of the thing that can't be mentioned, but this is a great new feature. There are many I won't be using, but this is pretty life-saving.

Suggestion: turn the Evernote AI Assistant into a “Jarvis” (My Day + voice + life areas)

Hi everyone!

I’d like to share a product suggestion for Evernote (Bending Spoons): evolve the Evernote AI Assistant into a true “Jarvis” for our second brain—with faster access, more proactive help, and more “hands-on” actions, especially on mobile.

Evernote is already where many of us keep notes, references, projects, and life context. With AI, it could also become the daily entry point to execute and organize what matters.

1) A Home screen with a “My Day” button (a 10–30s daily brief)

On the home screen, add a My Day button that generates an actionable daily briefing, for example:

  • Key reminders (and notes with reminders)
  • Today’s tasks (including priorities and urgent items)
  • Important recent notes (or “what you worked on yesterday / last 2 days”)
  • Upcoming events (if calendar is connected)
  • Top 3 assistant suggestions (based on what’s overdue, recurring, or critical)

Ideal format: short, actionable, with direct links to open tasks/notes.

2) A mobile widget to talk to the AI Assistant (with voice commands)

On mobile, what kills productivity is friction: open the app, find the note, type…

Suggestion: a widget with:

  • A “Speak” button (voice → text)
  • Quick commands (e.g., “Add task”, “Save quick note”, “Summarize my day”, “What’s pending?”)
  • Results with actions (create a task, attach to the right note, suggest a tag, etc.)

The idea is for Evernote to become a fast hub: “capture, ask, organize, and execute” in seconds.

3) AI that “manages life areas” with contexts and routines

Beyond answering questions, the assistant could help manage recurring areas with smart views and checklists, for example:

Health

  • Routines (e.g., workouts, exams, appointments)
  • Quick logging (pain, medication, symptoms, weight, habits)
  • Weekly review: “what changed / what’s still pending?”

Car maintenance

  • Checklist (oil change, inspections, insurance, registration)
  • Reminders by time/mileage
  • History (what was done, when, cost, shop)

Professional project management

  • Project brief (status, next steps, risks)
  • Meetings → decisions → tasks
  • “My Day for the project”: what needs to happen today to move forward

The key is the assistant working on what’s already in Evernote: notes + tasks + tags + templates + history.

4) A proactive mode (opt-in) for suggestions and follow-ups

With user permission, the assistant could:

  • Flag “stuck” tasks (no progress for X days)
  • Derive next actions from meeting notes
  • Suggest merging duplicates / organizing tags
  • Recommend reviews (weekly/monthly) per life area

All with user control (opt-in, explain “why”, and provide clear actions).

5) Why this would be a differentiator

  • Evernote is already many people’s second brain.
  • A real Jarvis isn’t just a chatbot: it’s fast entry + daily summary + execution.
  • On mobile, this could be a game-changer (capture and action with minimal friction).

If the Evernote/Bending Spoons team is watching: it would be amazing to see something along these lines.

Thanks for reading—I’d love to hear feedback and expand the idea with your suggestions. And, yes, AI Assistant helped me writing this post!

Transcribing videos via links inside notes

Evernote has a great tool for transcribing videos via links. Imagine if my YouTube links could be transcribed with just one button inside note, just like attached audio and video files—wouldn’t that be great?

Hi everyone,

The new Tabs feature isn’t showing up for me on the web version (Chrome). I can only see it in the Desktop app (Windows 11).

Is this expected (e.g., still rolling out / not available on the web yet), or could it be a bug with my account?
