Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

Let me introduce you to my note-taking setup.

Create a new folder, and add a note by creating a markdown file or .txt file
Edit it using Notepad, or even better, Obsidian.md
Synchronize it using Syncthing (on Windows, you can use SyncTrazor, which is basically a UI for Syncthing), add as many devices as possible

That's it. You always own your own files, and there's no more worry about cloud services going down

Obsidian is a solid choice; it's what I use, except I use the plugin called Livesync that offers a self-hosted syncing solution that is more tightly integrated with obsidian. I could have totally just used SyncThings, since I already have that for syncing other stuff. I just like to tinker with this kind of stuff.

Edited: added context

Thanks for mentioning Livesync! I hadn't come across that before and it seems perfect for me. I appreciate it!

No problem! It took a little bit of trial and error to get it up and running smoothly, but at the same time the dev seems to be overhauling the UI to make that less necessary.
