Behind the scenes, Evernote has ripped up and rebuilt the technical infrastructure behind each app. Evernote’s web-based portal has been refreshed, too, and a similar overhaul is planned for the Android app. A few weeks later, the Windows and MacOS apps received a similar makeover. Last month, a new version of Evernote was released for iPhone and iPad. The "remember everything" company was no longer the king, but the grandfather of note-taking apps.įinally, after years of stagnation, it feels like the company is ready for a comeback. As Evernote tried to stabilize its business, a slew of fresh note-taking apps including Notion and Bear entered the market. The company had expanded needlessly, some felt, instead of improving and better monetizing its core product. The not-quite-a-startup then killed its merchandise business, raised prices and implemented a privacy policy that was quickly reversed following widespread user backlash. In 2015, the company shut down Evernote Food, changed CEO and fired 13 percent of its staff. It launched a food-specific app and offered a whole range of merchandise including desk tidies and socks. It partnered with Moleskine to produce paper notebooks which, through a combination of stickers and scanning, could be easily tagged and ported into Evernote. That popularity allowed the company to expand into new areas. “As a company, we had invented the personal productivity category,” Ian Small, CEO of Evernote told Engadget.
The obvious go-to, regardless of the hardware you owned and what you were trying to store. Evernote used to be the king of note-taking apps.
