You can build an arbitrarily deep hierarchy of pages within pages. Based on the idea of “blocks” rather than just text in pages, it supports a wide variety of structures including RDB-like tables, lists, kanban boards, wikis, and galleries it can embed many different types of web entities in a reasonably intelligent way.
Its interface is minimalist and clean, yet it packs a wallop in functionality. Notion is much newer (initially released in 2016) and has seen very significant growth recently (e.g., it’s Alexa ranking has gone from about 2500 to nearly 1300 in about the last six months). Though not surprising, these problems have pushed many of Evernote’s users to look for alternatives. Evernote is fundamentally a single-user app.Įvernote has the same problems most “old” apps have: a stale, clumsy user interface that’s inconsistent across platforms slow development potential privacy issues and occasional existential crises at the organizational level. It has an amazing web clipper, and it syncs across multiple platforms. It has a blindingly fast and rich search functionality individual search queries can be saved to create collections of notes orthogonal to the notebook structure. In Evernote, individual notes are arranged in a hierarchy of notebooks and stack of notebooks, and each note can have an arbitrary number of tags.
It’s been around forever (well, since 2000 anyways) and has garnered a huge global following. The ContendersĮvernote is the classic, the exemplar of all note-taking apps. Along the way, you’ll find out a little about how I take notes. I want to focus on the differences between them and how they can be, unfortunately, all necessary.
I’m certainly not going to describe each tool in detail there are many sources of information out there much better than anything I could write here. As part of that search, here’s a short comparison of three apps - Evernote, Notion, and Roam - on which I’ve come to depend. I’m a little obsessed with finding the ideal note-taking app, even though I know no such app exists.
