I used Evernote for well over a decade now, and while I initially liked the note-taking client, it has been nothing but a constant source of annoyance over the last 18 months. Whether it's needlessly shoehorning AI features, stability issues, and not being able to sync reliably, using Evernote has been a burden.
In spite of all that, I continued to use Evernote because I didn't find anything else that did all the things I wanted of a note-taking client. But the 2026 price hike is the last straw; with Evernote nearly doubling the price of the subscription, I finally decided it's time to move to another note-taking utility.
