    Although the approach is different, it is an alternative for other platforms in regards to note-taking in which Evernote does not cover (self-hosting mostly).

    Only alternative that has: -Excellent OCR -Massive note sizes -Massive # of embedded files, graphics/images/screenshots and PDFs inside of notes -Speed It's Apple only, but Evernote was literally unusably slow on Windows for large notes anyway. It's 11% the cost of evernote lol!

    Bear is a writing app while Evernote is mainly designed around holding notes and other data.

    I chose Bear because (1). it uses iCloud instead of a 3rd party server which at least simplifies the privacy issue (Hoping it has a NO cloud option). (2). This has web data capture (hopefully full page) and EN's web clipper is no longer available with Safari 13.0 at all. (3) I don't want my every little DoIt list to be on EN's website for my "convenience"

    It's a completely different format, with notes inside stacks and then inside notebooks, but its easy to use, highly customisable, and allows for integration from evernote! It's the best alternative.

    It is basically attempting to overtake Evernote since their pricing restructure. You can import pictures, tasks are emailed to you when due. Customizable folders.
