![]() ![]() Unfortunately, a few cracks started to appear with Evernote and my usage. Evernote’s mission to “capture everything” had largely became how I used the tool. For example, I had used Evernote as my task manager, Evernote as a read-it later app like Pocket or Instapaper, and even Evernote as a sales and networking CRM. I had come to depend on Evernote as the “Swiss Army knife” of my productivity tool kit. Over the years, my personal usage of Evernote had grown to cover more than just note-taking and journaling. In their place, I now have 11,278 plaintext files and a completely new way to write, learn and organize my work. That’s the number of notes I had in Evernote.Ī few weeks later, only a few thousands notes remained in Evernote. What I'd really like to see is a PB icon in each of those applications.14,147. Right now, I have icons in Outlook, Internet Explorer and Firefox for linking to EverNote and OneNote. Nothing comes close to PB for the graphical interface and speed of finding something, but I agree that the Notes tab is quite limited. I still use OneNote as my main storage app, and like that it will automatically synch across a local network of PCs with OneNote running on the others, so that OneNote files on each of the PCs are up to date - gives also a degree of assurance about not losing years of data. I don't trust it with sensitive information, and I use it more for clipping things that I might want to use. I like EverNote's quick clip capability, and that it can sync to the desktop app on various PCs, as well as be accessed on the web. I see strengths in each, and I'd particularly like PB to be the central app which would integrate the other two. EverNote's web clipper is an excellent tool, and I wish PB had an equivalent 'clipper' style tool, preferably together with a re-worked note tab that properly renders what has been pasted into the note tab from Firefox etc.Īmen to all the above! I'm a long time PB and OneNote user, and have recently discovered EverNote, so now I'm using all three. I've already noticed that if I try to do that now, it does create an entry in PB, but it is just has meaningless numbers, since there is no XML translation currently. And as was pointed out, since Evernote now uses XML to store the notes, it shouldn't be too much to have PB recognize that for a drag and drop. It would be great to be able to use one tool for all this, but unfortunately, neither can do it all. Lastly, if I need to share information with others easily, I can just publish those notes on the web with a few clicks. Plus, since I don't have PB with me when I'm away from my PC, I know I can always look up info in a pinch with Evernote from a smartphone, or just any internet browser for information I've sync'd to the web. On the other hand with Evernote, I can capture anything I want usually with one click including pictures and voice notes with my iPhone. As you know, Evernote is great for those activities, but nothing beats the flexibility of PB when it comes to organizing related information. I look to Evernote more as a universal capture tool and Inbox, or even a scrapbook if you like. That's a valid point about using two systems, but I really don't want to so much keep track of information in two different places (although for some things it helps). PB just need to be programmed to read the EverNote structure. ![]() The above is possible because dragging and dropping an EverNote 3 note exports an XML structure similar to copying a PB note. (This requires mapping PB export XML to EN XML.) Drag/copy and drop/paste a PersonalBrain thought in EverNote 3 to create an new note. The EN title becomes the thought name, tags are copied, and if note size is small it is copied to thought note else as a link, and the source URL is also copied.ģ. Drag/copy and drop/paste an Evernote note to PB plex and it becomes a new thought. However, I believe it can be implemented programmatically.)Ģ. (This behavior existed in EN 2.2 but was removed in EN 3.0. Drag/copy and drop/paste a EverNote note into an existing thought and PB creates a hyperlink in thought note window to Evernote. I use EverNote 3 to capture web pages and clipping because I can do it very quickly with its capture button. They would make a powerful duo with features that complement each other.
