Naive question: what if you’ve only ever used Evernote on iOS? Just download the Mac client and sync. It’s a cloud-based product.

It then creates our new note and tells Evernote to synchronize. This begins the process of refreshing the note's information and making the link available to AppleScript. While this is happening, AppleScript keeps checking with Evernote to see if the link is available yet. Since this post is all about Notes, I am only going to discuss how to create and link Evernote Notes here. How To Link Evernote Notes. Right click on a Note and select “Copy Note Link.” Paste that link in a Note, where you want one click access to the Note, just like the web works. The link will look green like this.

Article Link: How to Migrate Your Notes From Evernote to Apple Notes ('The whole “Evernote is going to die” flurry of articles a couple months back was a great example of Silicon Valley groupthink and did hurt the company far more than any of the departures did. It has a large paying user base and it’s doing alright (pays the bills with its income as companies should). There are other reasons for concern with Evernote but they are not the ones that have been reported. I tend to use Evernote as my reference library with Things 3 as my task manager. I have several tasks in Things that have links to a note in Evernote. I don’t see how to do this in Notes today (i.e.

Have an external link). If Evernote goes away, I will be replacing it with something that can do this. It would be great to be able to generate a 'link' to a specific note in Notes. I work in Omnifocus myself, and tend to just manually refer to Notes if I need to, but a direct link would be very cool. Yeah, that's a troubling omission. I'm always big on having an exit/migration strategy for any app before I pour my data into it and Notes seems to be missing one. I haven't tested it, but a quick search led me to this, which might be a decent option?

Plain text is really limiting, but it's something at least: Thanks for the link. AppleScript might actually be fairly easy to use to export notes. I messed around with it specifically testing note functionally a while back, maybe a year. Another option, although extremely ridiculous, would be to use Apple's new export all your data feature.

Evernote Plus user here as well. Been with Evernote for what seems like forever, got angry when they changed the device limit originally so I moved everything to OneNote. But I had so many problems with it not syncing correctly that I moved back to Evernote after 6 months and paid for the plus subscription. Seeing the news about them being in a risky spot I thought I'd try moving back to OneNote to see if its any better, but man the OneNote Importer tool is junk. Doesn't bring titles over from notes consistently and there are pages of support issues with it on the Microsoft site, and basically MS just tell people to 'import it differently':) Anyway, I'm not a power user of Evernote at all, just a brain dump and scanned docs facility for me. So I tried an export and import to Apple Notes as I use Mac and iOS at work and home. Wow, notes has come a looooong way!

Imported in litteraly 10 minutes, sure its lost my tags but everything seems to be their and I tend to search for anything i need in Evernote anyway and yep, spotlight is working perfect with this. Colour me impressed with the improvements Apple has made to notes!
