The downside is that although Evernote have a client for Mac and Windows, they have totally ignored the Linux community. Which is great for productivity as I can switch between devices without disturbing my flow.Įvernote is such a big part of my daily workflow. It's great because I can make a note on one device and it is automatically synced across all my devices. I have Evernote installed on most of my computing devices, my MacBook, mini mac, iPhone, iPad and my windows laptops.

Core features are present, and the addition of optional cloud syncing with a self-hosted service is a novel bonus.I use Evrernote, for all making all sorts of notes, from drafting my blog posts, quick shopping lists, to do lists, meetings notes etc. It doesn’t try to do too much, too soon, and is all the better for it. In all, a promising new native note-taking app for Linux desktops. Plus, Iotas lets you ‘favorite’ notes, segment notes by edit period, and do basic text searches, so finding notes isn’t hard. I make a lot of notes and often want to group them by topic, so categories gives me organizational control. The latest version of the app supports basic categories.

Markdown render preview (can be disabled).

Markdown syntax highlighting (can be disabled).

Offline note editing (syncs when reconnected).

As I don’t have a Nextcloud instance to test this with I can’t comment on how well performs (though I will mention this sync works via the REST API for improved responsiveness). If you have a Nextcloud setup you can sync your notes to/from the cloud. This is a big bonus as it means you don’t have to remind yourself to manually save – you can get on with writing.

Adding to that, Iotas saves notes automatically as you type.
