Evernote Not Working for You on Mac? Here’s a Better Option
· 2 min read
Founder & Developer of ConniePad
Evernote used to be the go-to note app. Then it switched to a web-based (Electron) version. Now it’s slower, it crashes more, and it costs more. Many features are gone or harder to use. If you’re frustrated, you’re not alone. People want a note app that’s fast, simple, and keeps their data private.
If you want an alternative for macOS and iOS, take a look at ConniePad.
