Evernote tripled prices, gutted the free tier to 1 device, and got slower every update. Enough was enough. Cimanote is the note app Evernote used to be: fast, clean, no bloat. Instant load · All devices · Rich editor · Evernote import (notes, notebooks, tags, attachments, all intact) · Real-time collaboration · Your data, always exportable. First year is completely free for our first 500 users. No card required. Then $6/mo, no surprises, ever. — Blagoja, founder
I wish this had launched four years ago, when I decided to abandon Evernote. It will be interesting to fire up Evernote again and see how the export goes!
@trixolina Ha, you and about a million others. Evernote 2021 was already a different product from the one people fell in love with.
Would love to hear how the export goes, genuinely. If anything comes across broken or missing, tell me directly. That import flow is one of the things I'm most proud of, but real migration data from real users is the only way to know it holds up.
Welcome back to clean note-taking.
It’s really refreshing to see user experience as a top priority for Cimanote.
Evernote lost its focus years ago when it decided to optimize for value extraction instead of utility.
I’ve been using (and enjoying) early versions of this app. I’m excited to see what comes next. Keep up the great work!
@dzacarias This comment means more than you know, especially on launch day. Thank you!
You nailed it with "value extraction instead of utility." That's exactly what happened. The moment a product stops asking "how do we make this more useful?" and starts asking "how do we monetize this harder?" you can feel it in every interaction. We're committed to never going down that road.
Having you as an early user has been invaluable, and your feedback has shaped more of what you see today than you probably realize. Excited for what's coming next and grateful you're along for the climb. 🏔️
I used the early beta and found it useful. It was so easy to share my note with others.
@jesse_anderson Really glad to hear that and thank you for being an early beta user. Your feedback shaped what you see today more than you know.
The public share link was one of those features that felt small on paper but turned out to be one of the most used things in beta. Sometimes the simplest things land the hardest.
What's your main use case? Would love to know how you're using it. 🏔️
@matt_knee Price gouging, that's exactly what it was. No sugarcoating it. Welcome to the other side. Hope you enjoy Cimanote.
As a former big fan of Evernote, Cimanote is a welcome sigh of relief. It has a great UX and just works. It feels like it picks up the torch of being my extended brain. I love using it now and am excited to see how it grows.
@seandcoleman "Picks up the torch of being my extended brain", I'm keeping that line forever. That's exactly what I set out to build, and hearing it from someone who's been in my corner from the start makes it hit differently. Thank you for being here from the beginning and for showing up today. The best is yet to come. 🏔️
