![]() I send things there I'll process later, including voice notes that may turn into tasks, notes, etc. In fact, I expect to become a paying customer it it continues to work as well as it has today.Įvernote appears on initial iPhone tests to have significant value as a transient repository. Update 7/27/08: I'm warming to Evernote as I make my painful adjustment to the iPhone. If Evernote really does deliver on their Data Freedom promises, I'll be a happy paying customer. I revised the title of my post to "fails. I'm glad you like Evernote enough to try it and I hope you take a look at our import/export capabilities once we launch them. We're doing this because data freedom is good for more than just peace of mind - it'll let us build lots of great functionality that we couldn't accomplish with a "walled garden" approach. We'll also be expanding the structured import/export capabilities on the local clients, though I don't have a specific date on that yet. We'll roll these out publicly later in the summer. We're currently testing a full set of Evernote APIs that will give people a lot of options for getting data in and out. Our current limitations on import/export capabilities are due to developer resource constraints, not any philosophical or business reasons we can't afford to do import/export poorly because that could muck with your data and flood our support lines. Part of that accessibility is making sure that users can import/export Evernote data in standard formats with no restrictions. We're serious about Evernote as an "external brain" and that means users have to have confidence that their memories will always be accessible. Quote:ĭata Freedom is vital to our plans. Update: Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote, responds in comments. So Evernote is not an option for my Palm to iPhone conversion, and I'd say it's not an option for anyone on any platform until they demonstrate Data Freedom. The minimum requirement would be a tab delimited export (this would require some data loss since Evernote attaches binary data) and a comprehensive XML export from the Evernote database. This feature may be added to the Mac version in a future release.That's a total fail, even on the better supported Windows platform. You can also export via e-mail using the Note > Send by Email. you can export one or more notes from a notebook as an HTML formatted document from within Evernote for Windows using the Note > Export. To get imported databases onto a Mac, first import the database into Evernote Beta for Windows, synchronize with the service, and then synchronize the Mac client with the service. There is also a Note Import Wizard menu for importing selected image, text, and HTML files. Yes, you can import notes into Evernote for Windows in Evernote 2.x database (.enb), Evernote 2.x XML (.enx), and (in a future release) Evernote XML (.enx3) formats using the Note Import menu in Evernote Beta for Windows.

The software as service solution means users need to examine and test export capabilities before they sign up with a service, and to retest regularly as the service evolves. (To it's credit Google has been recently resistant, but maybe being ad supported and wealthy makes virtue easier. This produces Data Lock (see also: Data Lock search), an outcome that has sustained many a software empire. On the other hand, there's a terribly powerful temptation to never quite build export capabilities. I'm cautiously supportive of this model - it means good developers can get predictable income without having to constantly obsolete existing software. If customers don't keep paying, they lose access to their data. That's a tough development challenge, but it comes with a great business benefit. Evernote follows the new model of web service, desktop app, phone support, and synchronization. ![]() On the Notes side I took a look today at Evernote. On the Task side we're waiting to see if either Apple decides to support Tasks (I guess their engineers are too young to have complicated lives), Google adds Tasks and iPhone sync, or OmniFocus supports import/export. In particular, what do we do with Tasks and Notes? ![]()
