This function comes with a big caveat which could lead the user to refrain from using Markdown mode for the time being. The biggest extra feature however, is the support for Markdown when writing. Other notable features include a low-contrast night-mode for writing in the dark. It does not however have the excellent 'typewrite mode' present in Byword, which means that the current line being written to always remain centered on screen. There is a fantastic distraction-free editing mode available, which serves well for long-from content, especially in full-screen mode. The second column contains a list of all notes within the selected notebook, tag or stack and is available in two variants where the normal view will show the title, and a snippet of the note text, while the compact mode will only show the title. Notes added to the shortcuts list in Evernote will however not sync over to Alternote automatically.

The main interface is divided into three columns just like regular Evernote, with a sidebar containing various views into all notes, and provides the ability to star notes for easy access. Since Alternote syncs directly to the Evernote sync service, the apps will happily and seamlessly coexist. Using Alternates does however not infer the need to abandon the normal Evernote ecosystem. The recently released app called Alternote has set out to change all that.Īlternote takes the Evernote experience to the next level with its uncluttered and visually appealing interface, making writing and organizing the main focus. There is one area where Evernote currently is lacking though - the actual note-taking and organizing notes into notebooks and the user experience to make that happen. There are apps available for virtually every platform and device imaginable, and it will sync virtually anything from photos to large files.

One of the most prominent apps when thinking about productivity is without a doubt the green note-taking app with the friendly elephant called Evernote.
