Evernote is your second brain — the place to keep everything that matters and find it again the moment you need it.
"…an invaluable tool for organizing a messy digital life." — The New York Times
Capture a thought, a to-do, a photo, or a whole project, then let Evernote help you organize it, make sense of it, transcribe a meeting or tidy up a rough draft, and bring it back exactly when it counts. From the first spark of an idea to the finished plan, it all lives in one calm, searchable place — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
CAPTURE ANYTHING
Jot a quick note, build a checklist, save a photo, an email or a PDF, or clip an article from the web before it disappears. Type it out, write by hand, snap a picture, or record a voice memo — whatever's fastest in the moment. Your ideas land in one place, ready when you are, so nothing gets lost on a sticky note or buried in your inbox.
STAY ORGANIZED, EFFORTLESSLY
Sort notes into notebooks and add tags, or just start writing and let structure follow. Group related notes together, pin the ones you reach for most, and keep work, school, and life neatly apart — without spending your day tidying up. Evernote keeps things in order so you can stay focused on the thinking.
FIND WHAT YOU NEED, FAST
Search across everything you've saved — including the text inside your images and PDFs. Ask in plain language and Semantic Search surfaces the right note, even when you can't remember the exact words or where you put it. The more you save, the more useful it becomes.
MEET YOUR AI ASSISTANT
Your AI Assistant clears away the busywork so you can stay in the thinking, working quietly alongside you. Record a conversation and Evernote AI transcribes and summarizes it for you; AI Transcription turns audio, images, and video into text; and AI Edit cleans up a rough draft, shortens it, or changes the tone while keeping it in your own voice.
PLAN YOUR DAY
Add due dates, reminders, and to-dos right inside your notes, so the next step is always clear and nothing slips through the cracks. Check things off as you go and keep momentum without switching apps.
WORK EVERYWHERE
Your notes sync automatically across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and the web — start on one device and pick up right where you left off on another. Evernote works offline too, so you're never locked out of your own ideas, even when you're far from a signal.
FOR WORK, SCHOOL, AND LIFE
- Plan projects, prep meetings, and keep every detail in one place.
- Take lecture notes, organize research, and study smarter for exams.
- Save recipes, plan trips, track goals, and remember the little things that matter.
- Keep a journal, draft your next big idea, and capture inspiration whenever it strikes.
"Its magic lies in its flexibility." — PCMag
However you think, and whatever you're working on, Evernote helps you remember everything and get it done. Capture today's idea — and find it the moment you need it.
Fifteen years after I began using it in 2009, Evernote is still a game-changer! I've now added over 30,000 notes of interesting items I've come across during those years, a massive digital Scrapbox that's completely searchable and organized by dozens of tags I've created. The ability to quickly email items into Evernote with preassigned tags in the subject line (using #hashtags) is the critical tool I use the most. Anything with a Share button on iOS or laptop that can be emailed, can get quickly filed away in Evernote (use Safari "reader view" to include the text and photos of webpages). I find this email adding of items to be quicker than sharing with the Evernote app. So my suggestions would be to make the multiple-tags process faster when sharing with the native app. And second, to add a much more broad, Visual Overview perspective that shows many more saved items in a single view than is currently possible-- this requires shrinking down the visual icon size in order to see 100 or more note icons on a single screen, with mouse-over pop-ups that show the text title of each note (and other "data visualization" techniques that are available). This would make it much easier to SEE broad patterns and timescales across large quantities of notes, and get a much clearer understanding of all the info stored in a personal library. It would be like a "Global View" of the data, like "zooming out" from Google Earth or other mapping apps. Thanks Evernote, just keep innovating and this will remain an essential and long-enduring app for millions of people!
It’s a bit unreliable lately.
EamonBoban
Granted, the last update fixed issues where images would not properly attach to a document, note saving would miss the last changes you made, the app would keep interrupting your writing by closing the keyboard and scrolling off the place you were typing in, and occasionally not allowing you to exit a note when these two other bugs occurred, which meant I could only close the app and sadly lose my work. The issue that still concerns me though is that you can type into a note, and quickly swipe away to see your notebook, and while that note has a little green icon that indicates there are changes to be saved, accessing it doesn’t show you them! You can exit the note again, wait for the saving to be done and see the changes only after that, and as a general experience, it makes me feel like I can only write content on Evernote’s iOS app if I’m slow and careful about how I flip between views. The green note edits icon I talk about also used to come with a spinning wheel on the top of your note list, which at least gave you a visual clue that the changes *were* being sent to save, but because it’s gone, I either let it sit there and hope it saves (it takes a lot longer than I remember, for simple text notes too, on decent Wifi!), or pull down the notes list to cause that list refresh, which makes things save quicker. Evernote, please have a look at these issues—the app used to feel simple and reliable when it came to this and now it gives me apprehension.

Fantastic update

I just don’t understand some of negative reviews of Evernote’s latest update, which is fantastic. I have been using the app for years and am thrilled to see the innovation that the new leadership team is bringing about a year in. It looks like it took about a year to stabilize, and now new features are a’comin’. Tasks is game changing, and Gmail and Google calendar sync has boosted my productivity tremendously. I have been mainly using the web app but earlier this week updated my iPhone to this version. Immediately following the update I was having all sorts of issues getting my notes to load in the app. So I sent a support ticket to Evernote, called it a day, and accidentally left the app running overnight on my iPhone. To my delight I awakened to see a notification in the app that I had been successfully upgraded to then latest personal version. All of my notes suddenly appeared, and I have had a phenomenal experience with the app ever since. IMO nothing comes close to Evernote. I love Google, but Drive is where notes go to die. Evernote is where they flourish. I cannot say enough good things about this app and what I’m seeing from the company. It is extremely difficult to satisfy all existing customers while innovating and expanding the base. As a longtime user, however, I personally feel that the team is doing a tremendous job. Kudos!
Evernote is better than ever!

I've been a paid Evernote user since 2010 and have used it personally and for business throughout the past 14 years. I've never been as excited to use Evernote as I have been in the past few months. After a lot of rumors about their history with other products and assumptions about what they would do with Evernote, Federico Simionato and the new developers at Bending Spoons have delivered feature after feature after feature in 2024. So now, as a result of it's traditional standout note features such as PDF management and web clipper/note creation I have eliminated my need for Notion due to features like collapsible sections, calendar integration, and slash commands. The recent task updates have also eliminated my need to use to Todoist to track my immediate tasks and have also allowed me to create a robust backlog of tasks that I can easily navigate. It's easily paying for itself in terms of improved functionality, efficiency, and workflow centralization.I still dream of some additional options like inline images, colored background formatting, a more robust tag management system, better searching, more intuitive and integrated AI, better home page customization, and especially block level transclusion, but overall I'm loving Evernote better than ever and can't wait for the next updates from the team.

- Fixed empty web clips on some sites (e.g. Substack).
