Evernote

Evernote is a note-taking and information management application designed to help users capture, organize, and search information across devices. Notes can contain text, images, audio, PDFs, and other attachments, and can be organized into notebooks or tagged for easier retrieval. The service supports features such as web clipping to save web pages, OCR to search text within images, and handwriting recognition on mobile devices. Reminders, checklists, and rich formatting options assist with task management and information capture. Collaboration tools enable sharing notes and working with others, while templates and robust search capabilities help users locate content quickly.

Evernote is available on multiple platforms, including Windows and macOS apps, iOS and Android mobile apps, and a web interface, with synchronization across devices for a user’s account. It operates on a freemium model: a free tier with basic features and usage limits, and paid plans that add features such as increased upload limits, offline access on mobile, advanced search, and team collaboration options.

Historically, Evernote was founded in the late 2000s and has since expanded beyond personal note-taking to business-focused offerings, including a version for teams. In addition, Evernote acquired the Skitch annotation app in 2011, integrating image capture and markup capabilities. The product has undergone several redesigns and pricing adjustments as it competes with other note-taking and productivity tools.

Privacy and data handling are described in Evernote’s privacy policy; users retain ownership of their content, and data is stored in cloud servers with standard security practices.
