Evernote on MAC and DESKTOP does not Open when icon is clicked

[Excited Evernote User 26]

Hi All,

 

Evernote app on my computer, both on my Windows and Mac computer, doesn’t open the appolication when I click on the evernote icon.

Tried already to uninstall, download the latest version on the website and re-install and still doesnt work. The problem started to occur mid this week (think around Wed/Thrs 3 or 4th of July). 

Could not found any public announcement on X (twitter) or otherwise that this is an issue and looked into so I wanted to raise it here to see if this is just my issue or other users have similar issues. 

 

Pls let me know if you know anything more about it or how I can get this fixed for myself. Do not know more I can do on my end. 

 

Best,

cjm

Same here, done all the restarts and reinstalls. Filed a bug, only to get the advice to reinstall etc.

Did you use Appcleaner and Revo to uninstall?  That will do a more thorough job and tends to fix problems where a standard uninstall doesn’t.

Uninstall Evernote Then you can try and go to the ~/Library folder of your mac. If you delete all files that have evernote in their name and reinstall Evernote after that, it might work again.

Anything else we can look into? Would love to use the desktop app again but it doenst open. 
is the above solution by @s2sailor the only way this can be fixed? 

many thanks

Wipe the install using AppCleaner, restart, reinstall. If there is a way to avoid this, we have not yet discovered it.

Thanks for that. Meanwhile I used CleanMy Mac X. And it works perfectly. Evernote is back on my desktop!

THANKS A LOT!

I am having the same issue as of this morning.   Clicking on the Evernote app on my mac - the application loads, but NEVER loads any notes / windows.    I have tried:

1. Reload

2. Force Reload

3. Downloaded latest Evernote client and reinstalled.  Same symptoms.

I am running Evernote 10.95.5 on Mac Pro (M2 Chip) with Sonoma 14.4.1

>>>>> UPDATE

I used AppCleaner to remove all vestigates of Evernote, then reinstalled.    It appears this brought the app back to life again and is loading.

But still appears to be a bug in the latest update process?

Hi there,

I'm having an issue with my Evernote app on my desktop. Since last week, the app doesn't open when I double-click the Evernote icon.

I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times, but it didn't help. I also cleared the cache and deleted all data, but the issue persists.

I have the same problem. Evernote are you working on a solution?

Thanks all - is there an appcleaner version for windows as well? Do you have a link for a trusted/ safe download?

Revo Uninstaller

Both AppCleaner and Revo are free to download and use.

CleanMyMac is controversial and not recommended by most Apple experts (probably except those who make a cut promoting it).
