Over the past few years Evernote has turned from a light, convenient and beloved service to a cumbersome monster. And if before switching to other services did not make sense, now everything has changed. All these years, competitors did not sit still, but evolved, and ambitious newcomers appeared. In 2017, if you are not satisfied with Evernote, the choice is quite wide. That’s what the readers of Layfhaker advise.
Keep
- Price: is free.
- Platforms: Android, iOS, Chrome, web.
- Web Clipper: yes, through extension.
- The main minus: Some seem too simple.
Very simple and fast service from Google, available on mobile platforms and on the web. Google Keep attracts the visibility of displaying records. Each note is a sticker on a virtual board, which can contain not only text, but lists, photos, sketches, reminders, including geolocation. Also, there is shared access with real-time monitoring of changes and integration with Google Now, which will appreciate the owners of Android-devices.

A corporate tool for storing notes from Microsoft, well integrated with the company’s ecosystem, including Office support, hotkeys and more. OneNote supports sharing notes and notebooks, exporting to PDF, and has a convenient multi-level storage structure.

Nimbus Note
- Price: free up to 100 MB per month, subscription – 1 000 rubles per year.
- Platforms: Windows, Android, iOS, web.
- Web Clipper: there is.

Domestic analogue of Evernote, which allows you to save your ideas, notes and articles from the Internet and keep your to-do lists. Nimbus Note is characterized by the speed of creating new records with formatting support, a web clipper for storing entire pages and the ability to publish notes for exchange with other users. Free quotas are small, but the cost of an extended subscription, in principle, too.

Simplenote
- Price: is free.
- Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, web.
- Web Clipper: no.
- The main minus: text notes only.
Service for connoisseurs of minimalism, fully justifying its name. Despite the availability on all platforms, Simplenote is very simple and on functionality close to “Notes” in iOS 8. In fact, it is a text editor with support for Markdown, allowing you to create simple notes, share them with other users and publish on the web. There is support for tags, search and backups, thanks to which you can return to previous editions of notes.
