Probably one can work around this with a script - I'm planning to use the Evernote API and some python to get a list of note links and titles, and then try to use the Joplin/Trilium API to get this list and "fix" the links. So these links are broken when using any export/import tool.

My biggest issue right now is that the native Evernote export format (enex) does not include the note GUID and shard info that you need to resolve inter-note links. Joplin is a more traditional "drop in" replacement for Evernote, whereas Trilium is a hierarchical note-taking app and requires some mind/workflow shifts. Trilium can run locally, but also on a server providing sync and webapp - no mobile client, but the webapp is mobile/touch-friendly. Joplin has good sync options (WebDAV, Dropbox etc.) and mobile clients, but no de facto web app - though there is at least one 3rd party option. I've accepted that if I want to avoid the issues with EN, I should move to a FOSS package which the community can fork an maintain if the main code moves in a direction the community doesn't like.įor my the two options I'm really looking into are Joplin and Trilium - both allow import of ENEX files (keep the legacy Evernote around to avoid this ridiculous 50 note limit!). For a couple of years now I've been looking to jump ship, but I need a robust way to bring my notes and meta-data with me. I'm also in this boat - also a user since 2008.

My main need is: Offline data storage with great search feature with mobile app? Roam Research: Experimental with no offline data access. Notion: good for personal wiki and note sharing but no offline storage or OCR search. Questions to this group: Should I download all the data from Evernote and move to another app (all my data is still with Evernote)? And, what is THE other app? Devonthink never seems to become mainstream and that is why I am afraid. The core advantage it has over other apps "Reliability" and "Off-Line" access seems no longer there.

With Evernote 10, I just lost confidence in Evernote and I am just worried that what happens to my almost 4000 documents that are stored with Evernote. I am a premium subscriber as this WAS the only reliable app that worked across platform when I needed to find some information.

Since 2008, I tried Devonthink, have been using Notion (for a personal wiki), and experimenting with Roam Research for personal knowledge creation (primarily using for a summary of my readings, notes). I never used the note-taking features extensively but it was the most reliable app for me when it comes to storage. And since then this has been my go to app for storing files and information. I have been using Evernote since November 2008.
