Replacing Evernote?

I thought you were a OneNote fan?

Turtl?
I like where they are going, but no iOS app is kind of a buzz kill at this point. I do more than half my note taking on my phone.

What about OneNote?

Never used it, I am not a Microsoft fan, but it is looking like it may be a good alternative. I am also looking at Apple iCloud notes, but I wish I could share and collaborate with it. Does one note offer sharing?
-
I'd like to find one that supports handwritten notes like Evernote used to.

I don't use it, but can't imagine it doesn't.

Yes. OneNote is great for sharing and collaborative editing simultaneously.

From the MS website...
"Think with ink
Ready. Set. Draw. A stylus or fingertip is the only tool you need. Take handwritten notes and convert them to typed text later. Highlight what's important and express ideas with colors or shapes." -
It's been a long time since I've tested one note, so I just installed it on my Remix tablet (Android). I could draw and what-not with my finger, and insert pictures and everything. It seems like I might try this out for a while!

I just read that collaboration is coming in next version of iCould notes. With the fact that I am using a Macbook and iPhone for work, and where most of my note taking is happening, I think this may be my best bet. I like Turtl, but I don't think they are there yet, and it is kinda a killer with out having an iOS app. iCloud also has web access for my Chromebook. I think I am going to switch over to Apple, then all my junk will be in 1 place, and I can still say I am Microsoft free.

If you don't mind something browser-based (as a Chrome browser plugin/add-on) then try Google Keep (??)

I tried it, but I don't know what it is, it just isn't for me. I don't like the feel.

Sounds like OneNote is the best option then. Has an iOS app and it integrates with Sharepoint, OneDrive and other stuff well.

I wonder how hard it is to convert from Evernote (what I use) to OneNote.

Ooooh, they have a program that does it for you. Interesting.

okay... there's another FOSS based alternative called Nixnote/nevernote, which I had come across ... It touts to be an Evernote clone ... However, I've only seen nix based clients for it .. Not too sure if they have a Windows client ..

Just an FYI at this point. You can select all notes in a Evernote Notebook, right click from the desktop client and it will dump all of the notes to an XML file. Looks like most note taking apps can read and import them. Makes switching easy.

They also have a program (MS that is) that does it all automatically for you.

Nice, did not know about that.
