I can easily share to Evernote from most apps on my phone. It has good webclippers for most browsers (allowing choosing the destination notebook, tags, and add remarks). It’s cross device (I consult material on my phone, and store e.g. No reliable way to share with others who are not Evernote users themselves. No way to let Evernote use my own cloud / server for storage. No easy way to mine the total of notes, aside from regular search for specific notes. No easy way to get an overview or visualisation of my notes (although notes are easy to link, those links are not visible as a network). It’s not exportable in a general format. It’s on US servers, and I would like my own cloud instead. It’s a single point of failure for both private and work related material. So in order to make the first steps towards ditching Evernote, I will follow the recipe I derived from leaving Gmail, as I presented it at the Koppelting conference in August. This was already apparant when I quit Gmail, when Peter Rukavina and I exchanged some thoughts about it. 
Part of my e-mail triage process now is forwarding receipts etc to Evernote, before removing them from my mail box.Īs with leaving Gmail, there are no immediately visible alternatives to Evernote, that cater to all convenient affordances I have become accustomed to. With my move away from Gmail, my use of Evernote has actually increased as well. I have been using it since October 2010 with a premium account, and maintain some 4500 notes, about 25GB total in size. How to deal with the green elephant in the room?Īfter I quit using Gmail earlier this year, Evernote has become my biggest silo and single point of failure in my workflow.
