It's not a perfect alternative, but it meets my needs well enough. It finally came to a head, and I've permanently switched to a different note-taking app. In my personal experience, I put up with a lot of frustration for too long, turning to legacy versions of the Evernote desk app and largely giving up on the mobile apps. Over the last few years, Evernote users have felt burned by a once high-value, reliable app after the company hiked its prices (2016) and a few years later released new versions of its apps that were painfully buggy and missing features. If you're an Evernote user, you might go through a similar adjustment period when switching to another note-taking app. So you have to rethink the purpose of the space and all your assumptions about organizing your things into it. Whoever built all these drawers and shelves designed them for you to put your belongings. That's how it feels when you get used to a productivity app and then switch to an alternative. Imagine taking all your clothes out of your closet and trying to rearrange them into your kitchen cupboards.

"We've made it easier to use OneNote no matter what platform you're on, and easier than ever to send anything into OneNote," wrote David Rasmussen, a partner group program manager with the team, on a blog today. Microsoft couched the free OS X and Windows OneNote as part of its all-along plan to push the note-taking application to as many platforms as possible. Only those copies of OneNote that are part of a commercial-class version of Office 2013 or a business-grade Office 365 plan can be used for work at work.Īlso today, Microsoft released a browser toolbar add-on for grabbing Web content and placing it in OneNote, and shipped Office Lens, a Windows Phone-only app that captures documents snapped with the smartphone's camera. The free versions are limited to home and school use, and are not licensed for business purposes.
