Evernote and NixNote Overview

Evernote is company which provides note synchronization tools across multiple platforms. Evernote provides clients for Windows, macOS, iOS, Chrome OS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and web based clients. Their goal is to be a “remember everything” type of service which allows you to search text, handwritten, images, and attachments regardless of where you are or what platform you are using. More information can be found at http://www.evernote.com.

Absent from their support is Linux. When asked about Linux their usual response is that the market is too small to warrant a client and Linux users can use the web interface to access their notes.

NixNote is designed to use Evernote's public API to provide a native full synchronization client for Linux users.

NixNote's feature set includes:

  • Full synchronization of all notes and attachments. This includes linked and public notebooks as well as private notebooks.

  • The ability to create, edit, and delete notes, tags, notebooks, and saved searches.

  • The ability to search notes and the ability to index some attachments.

  • The ability to use the image text recognition features that Evernote provides.

  • Support for multiple Evernote accounts.
