Quite simply there are 2 key issues that will keep me from moving from EN: Poor conversion of notes Truth be told, I’m not sure my attraction to the UI was due to truly novel differences or simply a change of scenery.

While I’ve enjoyed the change in UI using Apple Notes (both Mac and iOS), I’ve encountered a few insurmountable problems. My experimentation with Notes as an alternative to EN was short lived. Overall I’m happy with my decision but it’s going to take me weeks before I fully appreciate what DEVONthink can do. It also utilizes the ScanSnap scanners like Evernote. I haven’t finished that process yet because I want to read up on my options regarding DropBox vs iCloud before I commit.ĭEVONthink seems to have a very powerful association engine for creating links between notes. Note, DEVONthink isn’t going to do crossplat syncs and syncing in general requires setup and planning. So, there are utilities in both applications that make this fairly easy. I utilized the same notebook organization via tagging in DEVONthink. I used the DEVONthink utility for importing exported note files from Evernote. This step required about an hour in total but it allowed me to breakup the task into manageable note export is a built in feature on Evernote. I have a lot of different notebooks in Evernote so rather than doing one massive export from Evernote I decided to export my Evernote notes one notebook at a time.
