I originally tried writing out a play-by-play of the problems I encountered trying to move Can Apple Notes replace Evernote? So what really happened? I already migrated to the new Notes! That's how we got into this mess! Migrated a few hundred notes, iCloud Notes web app and iOS Notes both broke.Ĭalled support and they had no idea what to do. Maybe toggling this will solve it! Or maybe not. Web apps can crash just like Mac apps?!? My iPhone's Notes app made the phone really hot and then crashed after a few hundred notes & won't sync anymore. Web apps can freeze? Is this a new Jony Ive design? Black is the new white! Wait. I decided I'd take the plunge, write an AppleScript to move notes from Evernote to Apple Notes and migrate my 2000+ Evernote notes over to iCloud to help us all answer the question: Can Apple Notes replace Evernote?įollow along with my clear and descriptive vague and not very informative screenshots as I find out. I can now store my beautiful drawings in iCloud. It's also getting tiring sorting through the random features Evernote adds to its app that have nothing to do with notes. I also really like Apple's privacy policy and want to minimize the number of companies I have to trust.


I'd read that Evernote is going to be the first Unicorn to perish which made me really question whether it is a good idea to trust my important data to a business with such poor underlying fundamentals. I was looking forward to moving my digital brain to iCloud. When iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 El Capitan were announced, I, like many, was excited about their updated Notes App. I will update this post when I get a response. On October 5th, Apple support called me to let me know that they hadn't yet heard back. Update: iCloud Notes's CloudKit got corrupted after moving a few hundred notes from Evernote - I contacted Apple on September 29th & have been promised that I will hear back from their engineering team within 10 business days.
