These were features I had come to rely on when I needed to get to my data, and Evernote took them out of the product! Furthermore, there was one particularly nasty bug that had me fearing for the state of my notes: Gone was the feature that would let me export all attachments from a note. Gone was the feature that would let me export an entire note as HTML. Between the company trying unsuccessfully to launch over products, and the 2018 layoffs, Evernote is not in the best shape as a company.īut the real nail in the coffin for Evernote in my eyes was the “new” release of Evernote a few months ago.

I don’t believe Evernote has grown as much as it could have as an app. And I could even do all of those from my iPhone!īut it’s 2021, and things have changed. I started using it back in 2012 or so, and before long I got the paid version! It met a lot of needs I had at the time, such as being able to take notes using a lightweight interface, letting me search through all of my notes, and letting me attach files and images to them. In this blog post, I’m going to talk about why I moved 3,000 Evernotes from Evernote to Obsidian, and walk through the process of doing so with the help of a third-party open source tool, plus some code I wrote to drive that tool.

This post is part 1 of a multi-part series.
