It's not clear that the satellite service on airplanes could handle big attachments.

Notion keeps all my data in the cloud, whereas Evernote keeps my data in the cloud and can keep a local copy on a computer (Mac or PC).

If that is true Notion will be much useful for me.) (I have seen a note in this r/Notion that is ambiguous but might be implying that the database function would enable indexing that extends into attachments. (That is, searches will find notes that only have the search target in the attachment.) As best I can tell, Notion does not offer a similar capability.

Evernote indexes not only on the text in a note but also on the content of attachments.

It is clear that Notion offers way more than Evernote, but it will be hard to make the switch if Notion doesn't provide the features I currently rely on in Evernote. I am evaluating this now, pushed by recent news of limited recent business success of Evernote. And now I couldn’t take seriously any consideration to switch back. Notion has also done more in improving its function in the two years I’ve been using it than Evernote seems to have put in during the previous five. And for a fairly cheap subscription, I was able to make Notion a document repository for a large quantity of heavy PDFs without having to worry about an upload ceiling or per-upload limit. Notion has no such limitation every note is potentially a folder / dashboard / index that can house multiple notes however you choose, and you can organize it to drill down as far as you want. Evernote lets you organize Notes into Notebooks and Notebooks into Stacks… and that’s it.

My biggest two issues with Evernote was the organization structure limitations and upload limits. I spent at least 10 years as an Evernote user for personal and professional use it was functional, but I waited a long time for new features that made it easier to use. So, pick one based on use case, or do like me and incorporate both into your work flow 🙂 Many of my projects start as an Evernote note and finish as a Notion project. Notion is better for organizing content and customization. And for making a quick note to reference laster in the day and then delete. I can't live without either.Įvernote is just too powerful when it comes to dumping something that I can forget and find in seconds years later, with an easy search just by remembering a key word. Notion is for managing and organizing all my projects, things with a lot of content tied to it and which, at some point, come to an end at which point I don't need the content anymore.Įvernote is for short term note taking (like shopping lists) and forever-type second brain stuff (scanned receipts, work contracts). Notion can't compete with Evernote note taking, and Evernote can't compete with Notion project management. But it just isn't as convenient for that purpose. I took the time to organize them and really tried to make one-the-fly note taking easy in Notion. Next, I built a note taking system in Notion and imported all my notes from Evernote.

Notion is much more powerful for project management, and I create websites and wikis in Notion. I love that it has a lot of what I was missing in Evernote, specifically regarding customization. Now I use both.įirst, I learned the ins and outs of Notion and how to use it. I tried to switch, but have changed my mindset.

I've used Evernote since 2009 and Notion for over a year.
