Many people here abandoned evernote when it went 'cloud'.
Well, I don't know how long this feature has been there, but evernote can actually work offline.
Just use 'add notebook' (or press insert on the leftmost panel), and check the box that says 'offline'.
You cannot make offline notebooks the default notebook, which is a pity.
And if you need to sync different computers, you can always put the evernote files on dropbox, wuala, etc. This removes part of the need for paying for evernote, although not all. From a review:
"I found that as a paid user the OCR process usually occurred in less than a minute or two. If I instead logged in using a non-Premium account, the OCR usually took no more than five minutes."
"Paying users also gain the ability to enable other people to both see and edit their notes on the web, making Evernote a powerful collaboration tool for groups to work together (that’s another article all by itself)."
For me this beats rightnote in features and convenience. If you add the rich ecosystem around evernote, we have a real winner. For example,
this tool lets you use it as a todo/calendar that matches MLO for my usage.
Compared to rightnote:
- tags actually are useful
- good search that highlights the matches
- keeps indentation
- android support for little things
- can geo tag notes
- encryption
- notes can be detached as windows
- does ocr (!)
- note previews
- doodle note type
bad
- ads (but can be hidden)
- clipping in opera not as good
- cannot do the virtual notes (versioning?) by exporting
- no headings, no tree, not good for outlining
