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.

An expiry date tracker for stores with lots of products to watch — convenience stores, cafés, pharmacies and unstaffed shops. While you check stock, scan the barcode and type the date to add items one after another, see the soonest dates first, and get an alert before anything goes to waste. ■ One tap per item with continuous scanning Point the camera at a product: it reads the barcode and stops on that product. Type the date as six digits, enter a count if there are several, and tap 'Add' once — you're straight on to the next product. Want the camera to read the date? Tap 'Read'. A date it reads only fills the field; nothing is added on its own. Check it against the pack and add it. Scanned the same product again? The date you just added is already filled in, so you can add more right away. A product you haven't seen before only asks for a name and storage (fridge, freezer or room temperature). Added the wrong thing? Tap 'Undo' right away. Salva never asks for prices while you add items. The person checking stock needs to know what to pull, not what it costs. ■ What leaves first comes first (FEFO) Items are sorted by expiry date, not by when they arrived. A product that came in later still goes first if its date is sooner. The same product is tracked per batch (lot). Yesterday's milk and today's milk are separate lines. Sales, disposals, adjustments and returns are recorded per batch, and the product page shows who handled what and when. ■ Alerts that ring on the device Alerts are scheduled on the device itself, so they ring even in a stockroom with no signal. You choose how many days ahead to be alerted. ■ Saved on the device first Every addition and change is saved on the device first. Weak signal in a stockroom or basement store doesn't stop you. ■ Product names from barcodes Names are filled in from a barcode–name list built by other users. When a barcode is new, the name you type is kept for the next person. You can report a name that looks wrong, and a reported name won't show on your device again. You can withdraw names you added at any time in Settings. ■ What's free Scanning, stock, FEFO sorting, alerts and product names. No limit on items and no time limit. If you use it on your own, that's all you need. ■ Salva Pro — yearly subscription per store · Invite your team — any number of people see the same stock. · Device sync and backup — your stock follows you to a new phone, even if you lose the old one. · Waste loss report — what was thrown away and how often this month, what share of what came in, and whether it's up or down on last month. When one item tops the list for several weeks running, Salva suggests how to cut the order. Subscription terms · Name: Salva Pro (one store · any number of people) · Length: 1 year.
