Evernote is most closely related to Macintosh tools like Hog Bay Notebook and Aquaminds Notetaker – it’s a note taking/personal organization tool. It distinguishes itself in a couple of ways. Firstly it has an attractive and well designed interface. It also supports a ton of data formats and input methods, allowing you to draw together web pages/snippets of html, handwritten text recorded with a tablet or digital pen, imagery, and data from a spreadsheet all into one collection of materials. It also has native support for Tablet PC’s ink and has handwriting recognition. It has a couple of useful tools for organizing your content – the somewhat standard categories and the timeline ‘tape’ view which lets you see your content as you added it over time. Additionally it has some built in templates for things like todos, shopping lists and other personal organizational tasks. It also features rudimentary outliner support and comes with excellent documentation. This is a really promising and well designed app that’s worth a look for windows users looking for some help organizing their digital (and analog) lives.
