Our review
Evernote is the classic note-taking and capture app. The web clipper lets you save articles and PDFs; OCR lets you search text inside images. Organization is via notebooks and tags. Pricing changes have frustrated some long-term users; the free tier has device and upload limits. Development has been slower than Notion or Obsidian but capture remains a strength.
We recommend Evernote when you prioritize web clipping and long-term capture. For all-in-one with databases, use Notion. For local Markdown and linking, try Obsidian.
