Evernote has been with me for almost 15 years. And with recent events, there's no reason to change that.

Fully agree. The search and the webclipper and the versatility in the setup of organizing things do it for me.

I've been with Evernote since 2013. Could never imagine moving somewhere else. I liken Evernote to those comfy old slippers - it may not be the newest, or the glitziest. It may not have xyz features that some other app has... but it's always been there for me. Just like those comfy old slippers, we've grown together, moulded to each other, and now we're the perfect fit.

Great commentary. I will mention that I love Evernote for tasks. The ability to keep tasks together with the notes and documentation about the task is a huge plus for my workflow.

I really like the Evernote dashboard on the desktop. It makes all I need to see so convenient.

I was en Evernote user for over 10 years. I had a great tagging system in place and was overall happy with it. The new pricing model and system instability especially on the app made me switch to apple notes. Turns out i dont really need a tagging system and apple notes has everything i need and works perfect. The whole export/import was quite a pain in the…but it was worth the trouble for me.

Although I know that I could (and should) Evernote more (efficiently), I am still using it for almost 16 years and am never going to give it up.
Solid and reliable as you very clearly stated.

Thank you, Carl. I have been an avid Evernote user since 2009. I've tested and dabbled in the other apps that have come around, but I'm using Evernote for all "notes" and other apps for other things. Great video, and Evernote is great!

I’ve used Evernote since Oct. 2009 so the same 15 years. So much is there. Like you said it’s had it up and downs but it has always been there and saved me so many times. I can’t believe 2009 was 15 years ago. lol

I’ve been an Evernote paid user since 2014. While I use Apple Notes for quickest note taking, Evernote to me is the most versatile with the right balance of features for my PKM needs. Like Carl, I use it with ToDoist and it makes me super-productive. I may someday use Notion for more architectural-style PKM, but Evernote keeps me in flow. TEAM PULLEIN!

I too have been with Evernote since 2009 -- and I agree, such an exciting time to be part of the Evernote community. Would yo consider doing a video on how you use Evernote as your CRM?

[MrTaserface]

We have way too much choice in all aspects of our life. Love your content. Your apple apps productivity video really helped me since I got my first ever MacBook. Thank you.

[anshulkummar]

Great analysis and very candid thoughts, Carl! I have been on Evernote since 2011 and have been following you since 2019 😄🙏

[loganm]

Very true, Carl. Yes, the web clipper is super.

Long long time user of Evernote. Started with EverNote before the merger with Phil Libin and it became Evernote (2008-?). There have been some turbulent times over the years but I have stuck with it.

Great video and thanks for sharing your view on this. I have been using Evernote for about 10 years now and it did get stale for awhile, but the changes have been exciting. Personally I use tasks to keep project specific tasks out of Todoist. My Todoist has a Project task with a link to the main Evernote project note. As the project grows I may find the need for more than one note and will create a notebook for the project. Are there other apps that do more with AI and automate processing notes, yes, but I find that taking my brain out of that I don't get as much from the processing of the notes. Your point about having output apps for work is so true. I am not going to use Evernote to write a proposal for my boos, but I will use it to gather my thoughts and supporting information so, I have it all at hand when I do write the proposal in Google Docs or Word. Thanks again for keeping the process simple and reminding us it's about getting the work done, not about how we store our notes.

2:30 gives a very good lists of apps for tools for writing books etc
7:50 drafts app for sending small notes

Good video. I have been a heavy user of Evernote and largely agree with you, Carl; my only disagreement is regarding Mobile, Tasks, and Calander. I also wear glasses but have no problem reading text on my mobile phone. In fact, my mobile phone use has increased now that it has been made more responsive. I use Tasks for all my task needs, and the fact that you can create them either within a particular note or in the Default Task Notebook allows the tasks to be viewed in any way you require. The Calander widget is also prominent on my desktop, my Dashboard for the day, keeping me on top of what is happening. I also have three Pinned Note Widgets on my Home Screen for quick access to notes on Current projects.

Thank you. I really enjoyed your Evernote Course. Still using Evernote, and it continues to help me on a daily basis.

Apple Notes is now so brilliant and keeps getting better that I cancelled my Evernote account after more than 13 years. I'm also not prepared to pay that much money per month for a note-taking app, as I personally don't see the value in it.
But I can understand why people stick with one app, especially when it's almost impossible to export all your notes to another app.
