Great Open Source Evernote Alternative
I needed to find a replacement for Evernote, and Notesnook is even better than what I hoped for.
I’ve been using Evernote for 7 years (since 2019) as a paid professional service, and I have seen severe performance degradation over the last 2-3 years. I got a notice that they increased my yearly subscription price from $140 to $240 - on the same day I couldn’t get a note to open on my phone because of an aforementioned new performance issue. I didn’t mind the price increase alone, but Evernote’s service is now full of AI slop and unacceptable software development practices.
For a replacement, I considered Joplin, Notesnook, and Obsidian.
Notesnook 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.
I am now paying $70 a year for more features than I would have with Evernote at $240.

Good Note App
I’ve searched for an app such as this and am happy using it. I’ve used Notesnook for approx a year or more. It has a features I did find in the previous notes app I used.
Thank you for Notesnook.
Thank you for Notesnook.
Privacy friendly
Font are too tiny, need to have a toggle to increase text size
Still Testing
For starters, Mac and Linux compatible… Fantastic! I am very picky about application developments, especially those requiring subscriptions, so I will have more to say as time goes on. Great start though.
Great Note App and a replacement for EverNote
I was an 11 year user of Evernote. Stayed with them from when it was free for personal uses all the way up to this year. I had renewed last year at $129 but was notified by Evernote they were raising the annual rate to $259 for the premium tier I was in. Started searching for a replacement and found Notesnook. I’ve been using it for almost 3 months now and I’m very impressed with it. All of my many years worth of Evernote data was imported into Notesnook. The layout is very familiar to me and I had no issues adapting. I highly recommend Notesnook! Oh, and my annual rate for the top tier as of this review is $89. Much cheaper than Evernote.
