I didn’t mind the price increase alone, but Evernote’s service is now full of AI slop and unacceptable software development practices.\n\nFor a replacement, I considered Joplin, Notesnook, and Obsidian. \nNotesnook is user friendly, boasts the same core features as Evernote without the slop, adds additional nice-to-have features like nesting notebooks, and the syncing is flawless between my devices.\n\nI would highly recommend you skip this buggy app that won’t be able to load a simple text note because it’s trying to AI-generate something you didn’t ask for.
