An Evernote to Obsidian guide? Would anyone be interested in one?

An Evernote to Obsidian guide? Would anyone be interested in one?

Hey

I'm still an Evernote subscriber and have been for about 14 years but I have moved to Obsidian mainly to get access to the data in my notes and to be able to write interactions to create and consume tasks etc.

I think I've created a setup that gives you the Evernote features you pay for but within Obsidian.

Anyone like me to write up a "how to" and include some AI generated scripts for conversion etc?

Stu

EDIT: Below is a link to a repo containing two python scripts; one to convert ENEX files to Markdown, and another to OCR the resulting markdown files, if required. The README.md describes the process, and two further markdown files describe the scripts in detail.

Maybe this will help someone out.

Thank you, Evernote team, for the weekly updates!

I started using Evernote around October 2025. Back then, updates came on a monthly basis — which, to be fair, was already a decent pace for an app of this scope.

But if I'm not mistaken, something shifted around February 2026. New features started arriving every week, and they're genuinely useful ones.

I think this matters more than it might seem — it's a sign of a healthy product. It means there are committed people on the other side, prioritizing well and shipping consistently. For those of us who rely on Evernote as the backbone of our productivity system, that kind of consistency builds trust.

Thank you for the commitment, team.

Open link in desktop app

I tried about everything to open a share link to an Evernote note directly in my desktop app. It keeps opening in my Chrome browser though. Anyone?

Evernote new AI memory is a game changer

I received the Evernote AI memory feature,and it's incredibly powerful—a game-changer! Here's what I did:

I have a notebook where I always analyze documents using a specific template. Now I've told Evernote to remember to apply that template whenever I request a summary of those documents in that notebook. It's fantastic!

I have another notebook where I capture information, and I always request the same things:

A summary of the note A clear and concise explanation A callout or key point Recommended tags based on the note's information.

Extraordinary!

Finally, I can ask it to be a medical expert, a lawyer, or whatever, or a productivity expert, and give me weekly tips on how to improve my workflow...

Amazing!

Megathread: Pricing & Repackaging Discussion

What belongs in this thread:

  • New pricing, tier modifications, or plan restructuring
  • Questions about what's changing and why
  • Comparisons of old vs. new plans—what's different, what you're losing/gaining
  • Concerns about cost and value
  • Your personal experience with how this affects you
  • Alternatives you're exploring or considering

**All posts about pricing changes will be removed and directed here.**Even if you have a unique take or new angle, it goes in the megathread. This isn't to silence discussion—it's to keep everything in one place so people can actually find and read the conversation.

Keep it civil:

  • Don't attack other users or make it personal
  • You're allowed to be frustrated—just keep it about the service, not people
  • Share your actual experience and reasoning, not just venting
  • If you found a deal-breaker, explain it so others understand
  • If you're staying, say why

We get it—unexpected pricing changes are annoying, especially if you've been here for years. Your concerns about what you're paying for and whether it's still worth it are totally valid and worth discussing.

This thread will stay pinned.

Evernote’s AI Assistant gets a “memory” (global preferences)

I have been playing with Evernote’s new AI Memory.

This is not the usual “it remembers what you said earlier in the conversation” thing. It is more like global instructions the assistant checks every time you prompt it.

So instead of repeatedly typing the same preferences, you can teach it once. Examples:

  • Always use British English
  • No em dashes
  • Keep replies concise
  • Cite sources when stating facts
  • Use metric units

Find it in Settings → AI features → AI memory

You can see what you have taught it in the article + screens.

Why do I have to pay USD 2**.*** for an app that feels completely useless for my needs?

For many people, this may just be money. But for me, this amount is truly huge. The most painful part is that I barely even used the app.

I submitted a refund request, but they only told me they could refund 39% within 60 days. What about the rest of my money? 😭

I sincerely hope the team at Evernote can review my case again and offer more help. I feel so lost right now and honestly don’t know what to do next.

Please, if anyone has advice… what should I do now? 🙏

New user

I just go this app and it seems crazy great.
Is it your favorite.
I primarily use an iPad but want a home base on my computer for when I’m at computer. I work in construction so I need to be right here right now and then go resolve it on computer

Tabs on Mobile?

Hi. I'm so pleased with the way Evernote is moving forward. I've been with Evernote since May 2009 - 17 years this week!

The past few weeks has seen slash commands come to mobile and the promise of AI coming soon to mobile. The slash commands are so very useful! So, will tabs be coming to mobile as well?

By the way, Transcribe from audio is brilliant! Far better than Google Recorder on my Pixel 10 pro!

Keep up the great work!

Evernote getting worse...video example

I have been an Evernote user for a long time, but recently had to try and use the web version some more instead of the native app. What a shitshow. Made a video...

EvernoteWeb Login Problems (now public)

Enjoy...

BTW this was on std Windows 11 and Edge, all at latest level, and right after I cleared all the cookies to start fresh....still had this experience

AI on mobile?

Just wondering if the AI features from Evernote desktop and web will ever be implemented in an equivalent way on mobile, particularly Android?

Still rooting for EN, but ...

I’ve been a paying en customer for a long time, and I still use it because there is a lot I genuinely like about it (and honestly, also muscle memory)

At the same time, I’ll be honest: seeing so many longtime users talk about moving away from en has me a little concerned. I don’t want to pile on or turn this into another 'Evernote is doomed' post, because that’s not really where I’m coming from.

I want en to win. I just also want to feel more confident about where it’s headed.

A few things I’d love to see:

  • Full Markdown support
  • Better internal note linking
  • A backlinks view, so I can see which notes point to the one I’m on
  • A simple list of links that each note points out to
  • More themes, especially better dark mode options
  • More visual customization overall
  • Stronger offline reliability
  • Better export options that preserve folders, tags, links, and formatting
  • Better performance with large note libraries
  • Easier bulk editing for tags, notebooks, and note details
  • Split pane editing and preview for Markdown
  • A clearer roadmap for people who use Evernote heavily

Evernote still has some real strengths. The web clipper is great, OCR is useful, the app is everywhere, and a lot of us have years of notes sitting in it.

I’m not asking Evernote to become a completely different product. I’d just like to see it lean into the things that would make longtime users feel like the product is still moving forward.

Basically, I’m still here. I’d just like fewer reasons to wonder if I should be making an exit plan.

A Way to Lock Texts?

Long time Evernote user here. Is there a way to lock texts, by line, paragraphs or blocks? I'm looking for this feature as a preventive measure against accidental touches on critical information.

Any help would be appreciate.

Deep Dive: Mermaid charts come to Evernote

Mermaid has arrived in Evernote.

Not the sea sirens - the chart text syntax that lets you write simple code and instantly get diagrams right inside your notes.

In this deep dive I walk through:

  • How to insert a Mermaid block (Insert menu or / command)
  • The different views (Code / Split / Preview)
  • Exporting your chart as a PNG
  • Using the Evernote AI Assistant to generate Mermaid code from a plain-English prompt

If you’ve ever been stuck screenshotting flowcharts from PowerPoint, this is worth a look.
