Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

Those looking for an alternative, I suggest Joplin. I exported/imported from Evernote a few years back and am really happy with it.

  • supports markdown
  • can store data on multiple services
  • Open source
  • can fully encrypt your notes

I use nextcloud notes, you get all the above mentioned benefits + Nextcloud

The Joplin client supports Netxcloud installs too.

Nextcloud is nice, but it's kinda slow. To be fair, I gave it two vCPUs (not gonna call 'em cores, because they're not full cores) and 2GB RAM, so part of it might just be weak hardware, but tbh it's not like I, the literal only user, stressed it much. Also a huge annoyance is that switching from one module to another does a full page reload.

That is one big issue with nextcloud. They keep adding features and with each release it get bloated.

I have it on shared hosting... it's borderline unusable

So do I. Works fine. Might be your service.

👍 for Joplin. It's nice to configure it with WebDAV directly with Nextcloud for replication and sync.

I switched from Evernote to Joplin several years ago and haven't looked back. I had over 8,000 notes in Evernote and now have over 11,000 notes in Joplin. I'm using free Dropbox storage for syncing (3GB out of 6GB free) and run Windows, iPad and Android clients. I haven't missed Evernote at any point.

I second Joplin. I love it, and I use it all the time.

This 100%! I switched over years ago and have been very happy using it on my desktop computer, laptop as well as my phones.
