Evernote v10.x continues to evolve although not as smoothly as some would like. I do still like the app, but sometimes in getting new features added, it seems like they don’t quite work as advertised at least initially. They are getting better in enhancing the features, it’s just a little bumpy sometimes.
Here are some recent updates:
Tasks
- Promoted from Early Access to general availability, Tasks brings your to-dos and notes together so each enhances the other, creating the context you need to move forward.
- Tasks can now be assigned to other Evernote users. If the assignee doesn’t have an Evernote account, they can instantly sign up for one and their tasks will be waiting.
Calendar
- Evernote can now connect to your Google Calendar accounts, making it seamless to create and access notes for meetings and other events.
- Notes linked to events are more complete, easier to find, and give you more information you can use. Your ideas and decisions stay connected to the people, places, and activities that sparked them, without any extra effort.
Home
- Your Home dashboard now supports Tasks and Calendar, bringing your notes, to-dos, and schedule together in a single, flexible view.
- Home is now more customizable with the ability to add multiple copies of a few key widgets.
Linux
- Evernote’s commitment to cross-platform support now extends to the long-requested addition of Linux, now in beta.
More improvements
- More search options (hello, Boolean logic!) to find precisely the information you need.
- The introduction of more long-requested features such as exporting notes (and notebooks) to PDFs and the recent re-introduction of legacy features such as bulk export, import folder, and quick switcher.
These exciting introductions also shape the new Evernote product lineup. We often hear people use the phrase “my Evernote,” and indeed the ways individuals use Evernote can be quite different, spanning a wide spectrum of features and workflows. Some of us are focused on workplace productivity, others on knowledge management, and still others on school, hobbies, or more specialized pursuits.
