Evernote
- Excellent web clipper for saving articles
- Finds text inside images, PDFs and scans
- Mature apps on phone, desktop and web
- Free plan stops at 50 notes and one notebook
- Paid plans cost more than most rivals
- Google Play lists the Android app as containing ads
Evernote is still a capable place to capture everything. The web clipper is excellent, search finds text inside images and PDFs, and notes, tasks and calendar live together. Version 11 added an AI Assistant, semantic search and meeting transcripts, and updates keep coming. The problem is value: the free plan stops at 50 notes, and paid plans cost more than most rivals. Hard to recommend unless you already rely on it.
