Note Taking | Why Do I Use Evernote?

As a note taker, I used all kinds of note applications, including Microsoft OneNote, Notion, and Apple Notes. I have been using Evernote since 2018. J asked me recently why I use Evernote. I have given some thoughts, and here is my answer:

1. The first reason is its promise to protect personal data. The MacBook application can also allow encrypted sections of the notes. This makes me feel comfortable putting in private notes and contacts.
2. It's easy to use. It's simple, but the interface is intuitive. Notes are organized in notebooks. Tags are added for categorization. The task to schedule reminders and embedded in the notes. The template feature is used to formalize the content structure.
3.  I left Notion mainly because its search within content doesn't work.

What can change my decision? Someone nudging my mind to move to other applications.

• The cost is high, with personal expenses of $129.99 per year and a professional cost 169.00 per year.  
• The application doesn't have a Quip spreadsheet or a Notion database. Therefore, its content format needs to be revised for advanced knowledge systems.

​ Ideally, Quip is the ideal application, but it doesn't offer personal use.  The current solution could be better, so the option is open. ​
