I also like that it's not opinionated about layout. So you can just dump new stuff into the inbox for later categorization/deletion. One neat feature is the inbox system that tracks what's read and unread. Adding the feeds automatically ingests the RSS feed's items as new notes. It has some weird features I don't use, but which some people might like. So, for example, you could store important private information (things like tax forms, government forms, 2FA recovery codes, etc.) in an encrypted database on a USB drive somewhere.

Devon divides its data into "databases" which you can open and close. It's got built-in iCloud syncing as well as syncing via other options (Dropbox, WebDAV, more). You just create folders and nested folders. Its folder structure is much nicer than Evernote's. Then if you want to actually store the page/PDF, you can tell it to. You can drag URLs right into a folder and they'll come up as web pages or PDFs, depending.
TAGSPACES VS MOVIE
Drag a GIF and movie into a text note and it becomes a live player. Its rich text supports attachments, just like Evernote, but they're much nicer. Lots of markup tools right in the viewer. The viewer is built into the UI, and also lets you open in tabs and new windows. You can drag PDFs right into Devon and they get as PDFs, meaning that when you click on a note, you view the PDF.
TAGSPACES VS PDF
It also supports PDF documents as first-class objects. * TagSpaces - tried the demo briefly, but didn't like the UI, also the iOS client was abandoned at that time Some other note taking apps that I've heard of but not tried personally: This turned out not to be very ergonomic to use, had no mobile client, and no web clipper. I briefly tried zim, but found that it lacked polish, and didn't have a mobile client or a web clipper, so I never fully moved on to it.įor a long time, I used Sphinx plus several extensions and wrote everything in rst, with syncing accomplished via git. If that's not a use case you have, it's probably not worthwhile. The killer feature it has is collaboration with other uses on the same domain, a la Google Docs. OneNote is ok, but I don't run Windows (I used it at work at one point). It also had some features lacking, namely no spell check (an issue that Joplin also has, although I believe this is being worked on). I used Quiver for a while when I used to run macOS, but moved away from it because it was macOS specific. I've been using this for a while and have liked it a lot so far. It's cross-platform, has decent sync capabilities, plus a web clipper. TagSpaces is one of the software utilities that can help you search for files much faster than before while also assigning them tags and previewing their. Lots of people here mentioned they are looking for Evernote replacements.
