Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

I'll leave these here for those fleeing Evernote:

https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/migrate-from-evernote-to-apple-notes/

I haven't used either, I never really used Evernote, but a couple people have been posting them as a good way to get your notes migrated out of the app.

Better alternative: Joplin

Works much the same way as Evernote with a similar layout including a wysiwyg editor and a web clipper. However, you can host your own server or sync it to a cloud platform of your choice (or both). Doesn't cost you a thing and is open source. Has an Evernote importer too.

Apple notes can lock you in. Bear or Obsidian maybe a viable alternative but I’m not sure with migration if a seamless import is available.
