Evernote consists of a web service accessed through a software application that allows users to collect notes and information for upload to their account on Evernote servers. Evernote supports touch and tablet screens with handwriting recognition.
Evernote is free to use at a basic level, but requires users to create an online account to store and access their data. Unlike other notetaking applications, such as Microsoft OneNote, Evernote user data is not stored locally.
A premium service is also available which costs $5 per month or $45 per year. The premium service features faster word recognition in images, greater security, and a larger per-month upload limit to Evernote's online servers. The free service is supported by advertising, on both the web interface and in the application. The premium service allows the user to turn off this advertising.
The Evernote web service launched into open beta on June 24, 2008.[1]
Evernote's competitors include Microsoft OneNote on Windows; Barebones Software's Yojimbo; Journler; Circus Ponies NoteBook on Macintosh; and Lognoter PIM version on Windows, Macintosh and Linux. A free and open source note-taking application gnote is available for GNOME and Linux.
