About Evernote
Evernote defined digital note-taking, and its capture tools still shine: the web clipper, document scanning, and search that reads text inside images remain excellent. Ownership changes and price hikes pushed many users toward Notion and Obsidian, but for people whose workflow is clip, scan, search, and find it years later, Evernote endures.
