Slashdot Asks: What's Your Preferred Note-Taking App?

Earlier this week, popular note-taking app Evernote announced major changes to its service. The company announced that free users on the app will now only be able to sync across two devices. The company also raised the prices of its paid tiers by 40%. This move, as you can imagine, has resulted in Evernote facing a backlash from many of its users. To give some perspective, Evernote paid plans ($36/ $70 a year) now costs as much as Office 365's $70 Personal yearly plan. With Office 365, obviously, you get more stuff -- including access to Microsoft productivity suite, and 1TB OneDrive storage. Microsoft was quick to release a free tool for Evernote users should they want to move their data to its note-taking service OneNote. OneNote is free to use and offers 15GB free storage to all users. Google's Keep is another good option with 15GB of free storage. Which note-taking app do you use? Anyone who still prefers taking notes on a notebook with a pen?

pen and paper

Nothing works better than the old fashioned pen and paper. Simple and straight forward. The batteries don't die, sure my pen might run out of ink, but I can always keep a second one with me.

Sometimes simple tech works the best.

Killer feature

[Troed]

Users have been asking Evernote for one single feature since its inception: Client side encryption.

It's also the one feature Evernote seems to absolutely make sure will never happen. Probably for a very good, non user friendly, reason.

I've just made the switch to the open source Turtl. Self-hosting possibilities, client side encryption. All the features from Evernote that I ever used. (And none of the features the Evernote team felt were important to add _instead_ of privacy ... )
