Migration guide

Switching from Evernote to NoteMee

Evernote pioneered digital note-taking. But 2026 Evernote isn't 2012 Evernote — and at $14.99/mo for Personal, neither is the price.

Evernote vs NoteMee — honest comparison

Where Evernote wins

  • OCR search inside images and PDFs
  • Web clipper with 15 years of refinement
  • Offline notebooks on mobile (with paid plan)
  • Deep integrations with enterprise tools

Where NoteMee wins

  • Free forever with no device limit (Evernote Free = 1 device)
  • Real-time collaborative editing — Evernote has no live collab
  • Modern block editor with slash commands and @-mentions
  • Native task lists with subtasks and due dates
  • No 50-note limit on the free plan (NoteMee gives 100)
  • Half the price: NoteMee Pro is £8.99/mo vs Evernote Personal at $14.99

How to switch — 5 steps

  1. 1

    Export from Evernote

    In Evernote desktop, select your notebooks → File → Export → choose ENEX format. This preserves your note content, tags, and creation dates.

  2. 2

    Create your NoteMee account

    Sign up free at notemee.com. No card, no device limit, no notebook cap.

  3. 3

    Import your notes

    Use NoteMee's Markdown import — convert your ENEX files to Markdown first using a free tool like Yarle (github.com/akosbalasko/yarle), then drag the Markdown files into NoteMee.

  4. 4

    Organise with projects and tags

    NoteMee uses projects (like Evernote notebooks) and tags. Recreate the ones you actively use — don't migrate your entire 2014 tag taxonomy, just what matters now.

  5. 5

    Set up tasks

    If you used Evernote's task checkboxes, create proper task lists in NoteMee with priorities, due dates, and subtasks. It's a native feature, not an afterthought.

Your notes deserve a home that's fast, modern, and doesn't charge you per device.

Free forever. No card. Takes 10 seconds.
