Evernote

Evernote is a cross-platform, freemium app designed for note taking, organizing, and archiving. The app allows users to create a "note" which can be a piece of formatted text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten "ink" note. Notes can also have file attachments. Notebooks can be added to a stack while notes can be sorted into a notebook, tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, searched, and exported as part of a notebook.

• Complicated, non-free. Zim is just OpenSource notes. fih10golts • May 2018 • 8 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Evernote is proprietary, closed source and stores user data in unencrypted format on web-facing US servers, which is terrible for privacy and security. They have been hacked in the past and are subject to US laws that force them to disclose data with authorities. They also refuse to support Linux operating systems. Their clients on Mac and Windows are very different and both lag significantly after about 500 notes are in the database. Evernote are the past. JohnFastman • May 2018 • 17 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Evernote does not provide capability to organize data for outlining/collection data. Evernote is based on tags (so it is rather "chaotic") and people looking for a more structured way to organize information, benefit from ZIM. Guest • Feb 2018 • 19 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Basically these have little in common...Evernote is not really a replacement or an alternative to zim desktop. Guest • Jun 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree

Simplenote

Made by the company behind WordPress, Simplenote is an easy way to keep notes, lists, ideas, and more. Your notes stay updated across all your devices. No buttons to press. It just works. Your notes are synced across your devices when you create, add to or change them. Registration is required but the app and service are free.

• Simplenote is much less functional than Zim (no rich-text, no attachment to notes) and although it does work on mobile, it syncs your data via web-facing servers on which your info is held unencrypted. In that respect your information is much more vulnerable to hackers and govt agencies than if you used Zim, stored the data locally and maybe - if you need - sync it with an end-to-end encrypted service like Spideroak, Tresorit or Seafile (Seafile encrypts file content, not metadata). JohnFastman • Mar 2017 • 19 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Free and free of problems. Just simple. Guest • Oct 2016 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• Android Client, Markdown, Built-in trello-like board Guest • Feb 2019 Disagree   Agree
• Notion is also a wiki and also cross-platform in the sense that it is a web application. It has some features that Zim doesn't, e.g. multi-column layouts. dimaneiaglov • Oct 2018 Disagree   Agree
