Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

In case anyone is looking for a recommendation, I started using Obsidian for taking notes recently. It creates markdown files which keeps things nice and clean and then I use Syncthing to sync my files rather than their paid sync option. If Obsidian ever enshitifies I can either use an old version of the application or switch to any other markdown editor.

I'm considering having some sort of nightly sync to a git repo as well for version control but that might be more complexity than I need.

    I use Obsidian in the work laptop because they don't allow any cloud tool for confidentiality and I like it a lot.

    For personal stuff I've been using OneNote just because its free and has clients for almost every system I use.
