Notion is good, but its app didn't hit the mark out the gate, I was always logging in, and I realized I didn't necessarily want a web app for note-taking.I've spent the past five or so years trying and failing to find a replacement mobile-to-desktop scratchpad. My go-to notes app became an annoyance, and my budget didn't accommodate what felt like a costly premium subscription for features I did not use. Every time I logged in, I couldn't just start a fresh page without clicking through a pop-up. My freelance notes mingled with my grocery lists, and it was a pain to get everything back in order, either out of my own laziness or lack of features.Īnd then came the pop-ups.
I was looking for a more casual relationship with my notes, one that was organized and shareable.Īs with all things content, with only minimal organization, my Evernote app became unwieldy. Sharing content became difficult outside the app. They added features upon features that I simply did not need. Evernote wanted a different kind of relationship entirely, one in which I was a brand advocate who carried their tote bags and used the app to record voice notes and converted my coworkers to paying customers. All I wanted was a blank sheet of digital paper to scribble my notes on.
I had a premium subscription and even owned their stylus, back when I still used my tablet.īut Evernote's growth strategy did not fit my notes approach. For years, it was a reliable digital notebook. In its early days, bolstered by VC money, big product dreams, and mobile hype, Evernote was an easy-to-use note-taking app that synced easily between my phone and computer. Poor Evernote, an app I had such fondness for ten years ago, died a slow death of annoyance and declining functionality.
