Ideal replacement for Evernote … unless

I have been a user of Evernote since 2009. Over those years, I loved it and stored all kinds of recipes, web clippings and other vital information in it. I tried to move to OneNote. But it was clunky and unintuitive. I started using Apple Notes cause it was faster to open and put in simple info. A couple years ago Evernote doubled their price. I looked for new options. But nothing was close. So I endure that first doubling of price. But then they did it again. So I tried OneNote, Apple Notes, Obsidian, NotesNook and various other options. None could import my old notes from Evernote acceptably. Almost all crashed while importing my (large note library), over 4000 notes. Apple notes crashed and performed poorly. OneNote couldn’t do the import. And even after working through the hiccups. Its import sucked and looked terrible. NotesNook crashed trying to import them. And Obsidian was just more than I bargained for. I also tried Joplin, which did import them, but constantly reported errors on syncing and importing. The last one I found was UpNote. It imported everything perfectly, and is much more responsive and user friendly than Evernote ever was. I’ve been using it now for over 6 months and can say, it has been an amazing replacement for Evernote. It loads faster, it’s easier to use and it allows you to pin notes to individual notebooks, or to the main notebook listing. I find myself using it more regularly than Evernote, because it’s faster to open. Quicker to organize and the search is better. Granted, it doesn’t have the breadth of features Evernote has. But I didn’t use most of those anyway. I find it more robust than Apple Notes, and far faster than Evernote!! I’ve been loving it and likely won’t switch again until they raise their price to the point it’s unaffordable. I would highly recommend using this app for all your note taking needs!!!

Best notes app

Keep up good work

Great app, but syncing needs improvement

The app is simple, clean, and easy to use. However, the lack of reliable syncing between the desktop and mobile versions is a major drawback. Notes made on one device don’t consistently appear on the other. Please improve the cross-device sync, it would make this app much more useful.

The most amazing app for notes 😊

I’ve tried a lot of note‑taking apps. I switched from Bear to upNote. upNote has features that are important and convenient for me that aren’t available in Bear. But I really wish upNote would include the ability to draw Mermin diagrams. Thank you for such a wonderful app! I hope more useful features will be added!

Great app except app login requirement

I’ve used this app across multiple devices for a while now after migrating from Evernote and it’s been great overall.
The only really annoying thing I wish they’d fix is having to re-log back in every time you come off or minimize the app on mobile devices, this is very frustrating as I often switch to other apps to look stuff up a copy and paste while I am using UpNote.

Ideal Evernote replacement

I couldn’t be happier with UpNote. It’s reliable, elegant, and exactly the right balance of simplicity and flexibility. Crucially, it has zero forced “AI integration” which is what finally drove me away from Evernote after many years. UpNote is the ideal replacement as well as an exceptional value for the one-time cost.

Upnote replaced my long years of Evernote

Strongly recommend to everyone. I’m wishing Upnote have portable version for windows. It is not yet support but still loving it and using every day.

Better Notes

When bending spoons took over Evernote, everything got worse and worse. Junior developers adding more and more bloat. Dumb. I believed to be stuck with them, until someone on X recommended UpNote. It is the CURE to bad not apps. Perfect.

This is the notes app you were looking for.

The Evernote Alternative I Wish I Found Sooner

I used Evernote for about 10 years, but the price got to the point where I had to look for something else. I tried a bunch of alternatives, but most of them were missing simple features I use all the time, like code blocks.
Then I found UpNote, and it has been exactly what I was looking for. It does everything I need, is easy to organize, works great, and made importing all of my Evernote notes simple. The switch was smooth, and I honestly have not looked back.
For anyone leaving Evernote because of the price, UpNote is easily the best alternative I’ve found.

Total Incompetence: 404 on Password Reset While Logged In on Mobile? Absolute Clown Software.

If you are thinking about trusting UpNote with your data or workflow, don’t. This app is an absolute joke.
I am literally logged into my account on my iPhone right now using my Gmail. Yet, the moment I try to reset my password to log in on my PC, this broken piece of garbage throws a "request failed with code 404" right in my face.
Are your developers running this backend out of a dumpster? How on earth does an active, logged-in account return a 404 Not Found error on a basic password reset request? Because of this brain-dead bug, I am completely locked out of my desktop app and cannot get any work done.
A note-taking app that fails at basic authentication is worse than useless—it is a hazard. Fix your pathetic authentication servers or stop charging people for a service you clearly don't know how to maintain. Unbelievable trash.

Simple but powerful

I was looking for an Evernote replacement since Evernote has become so bloated, slow, and expensive. I tried a few but when I tried UpNote, I know this was the one. All my Evernotes imported without a hitch. I love the simplicity and yet powerful design. The app opens super fast and syncs instantly to my other devices. I love that a note can be in multiple notebooks, a feature that Evernote does not have. The only Evernote feature that I miss is the ability to forward an email directly to the app, but there are workarounds. And I REALLY love the one price ($39.99) for lifetime premium on all platforms.

Love it

Been looking for an app to work across my android and iOS and when I found this I pretty much immediately fell in love. The design of the whole app is so straightforward and easy. It’s all very clean but not overly sharp which is something I have been praying for bc all the other apps just hurt my eyes to look at.😂 There’s so many features in the app to use for when you want to organise your notes and colour code and all sorts, but the basis is all very simple so it’s still really easy for when you just need to jot something down quick before you forget.

Only thing is tables and attachments are behind premium which are things I do use a LOT of, but I unfortunately can’t afford even though it’s still pretty cheap (£2 monthly, £35 lifetime).

Regardless, 100% definitely recommend. The layout/design is non-negotiable the best I have ever used.

Great app

I use upnote a lot for shopping lists and keeping track of things. I love its reliability and excellent syncs. The backups make it much safer than onenote where it was easy to lose a note. One day I hope it will be able to sort list items within a note.

Best note app ever!!!

This is the best note app out there non contested!!!

Overall great

Love it so far. Clean, simple, organized. I just wish there was a way to add a voice note or other attachments, that would replace some other things for me.

The Best

Best notes by far. No complaints whatsoever. Easily worth the money and the download. I’d just like more colour options with highlighting and text colour. A text reader option. Then it would be perfect. Surprisingly secure and as long as it stays secure I’ll keep using. Still wouldn’t pay a monthly subscription for it.

Excellent notes app. Fast and flexible

Impressive fast and feature rich. What took me so long to move to this solution? Very easy and fast migration from Evernote. Was at home with it in just a few hours.
Very consistent across platforms… Windows, iPad and Android. I have to try the Linux version next!
Has all I need to keep my life organized and quickly find what I am looking for.

Excellent alternative to Evernote!

After being a longtime customer to Evernote for over a decade, I’m needing to switch due to very exorbitant price hike, ChatGPT identified UpNote as the top choice for me among other apps to switch to. All of my thousands of notes transferred very easily, and I am enjoying very much the simplicity, elegance, functionality of this wonderful app! I had a question about transfer and wrote a note to the developer and received a reply within two days! After playing around with it for a couple days, I didn’t hesitate to pay the unbelievable one time lifetime fee to ensure access to all of the premium features an absolutely amazing and thrifty investment. I would highly recommend this app!
