I Just Published A Guide To Escaping Evernote
Because your notes deserve to be yours, forever.
Last week I published a detailed guide on migrating from Evernote to Obsidian. It covers the entire process:
How to export your notes cleanly
How to set up capture tools so you can keep forwarding articles and receipts and thoughts straight into your notes vault
How to troubleshoot what breaks
How to convert your notes to any format you want (including Word and LibreOffice)
What the actual trade-offs are.
If you’re paying for Evernote and increasingly annoyed about it, or if you’ve been meaning to leave but didn’t know where to start, this is the roadmap. It’s 5,800 words, includes screenshots, and costs just AU$10 on Gumroad.
The core idea: Your notes should live in a format you own, not in a format a company rents to you. Markdown is readable forever. It works offline. No subscription creep, no acquisition drama. I’ve been using this system now for three months. It’s genuinely changed how I think about tooling.
And my notes remain mine, not AI fodder.
