Carl-L-ND 58 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've been using Evernote Premium for Android for several months and have yet to find a method to insert a time stamp or separator line as per what you can do with Evernote for Windows OS. Ctrl ; to insert time stamp Ctrl Shift - to insert a separator line. Is there a way to do this on an Android phone? tablet? Link to comment

Carl-L-ND 58 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 What a shame.... looks like they could add this to the bottom of screen menu bar/slider that has other tools on it. Am I the only person who adds multiple updates to an existing note? Btw... I've also acquired or tested several blutooth keyboards hoping to add the functionality so that I can update notes in my vehicle just after leaving a client site. I have not been successful in finding a keyboard that will perform those hotkey functions. So for now I have to manually key in a date and time and then use a series of characters as a separator which I later go back to on my Windows desktop to clean up. Link to comment
Gangun 29 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 You could use an android widget like Clipper - Clipboard Manager which can store dynamic "clippings" like current date.Cheers. G Link to comment
Carl-L-ND 58 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 OK... tried Clipper for a week since your suggestion. Btw... only the paid version offers the dynamic clippings. It was not up to the task. I could not get a real time dynamic "macro" configured. What I could do was set it up to pick up the current date and time but then every paste after that was the original time, not the current time. Also, I suspect it was clashing with other software on the phone - started to get some odd behavior I had not seen before including freezing but that could easily have come from an update of something else, such as Google Maps which has just been a disaster the last two versions.

Brian Russell 2 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 You can use Tasker to put the day, date, and/or time in the clipboard when Evernote is opened, then paste it in. Using an app like Clipper would allow you to keep anything else you'd hoped to paste into a note. Link to comment
truejackk 1 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hello all. Faced same need - to insert current date and time stamp into Evernote note at my Android phone.1) So no proprietary solution from Evernote yet (like Ctrl+; for Windows app, mentioned above), right?? 2) There is no free Tasker version, or I just can't find it? Maybe someone can advise other similar Android tools, only for this simple task - inserting day+timestamp? Thanks in advance Link to comment
djemerson 1 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I would use Evernote if they put in this feature, but as it is, they seem to just ignore the many requests for this. I bought the app expecting that they would add it, but no joy. I use this in other apps all the time - don't know what their problem is. Link to comment

Can be from the top menu I agree; I often wish to add the current date and/or a horizontal line. Both of these requests have already been made in the Android Feedback forum, where feature requests are collected: (one of the 2 request there is for the current date); and: @miszuni, if you will go there and vote them up by clicking the large upward-pointing arrow at the tops of the pages, that will help!

tonyespo 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I just discovered that I also need to insert a today date when I update a note. Come on Evernote listen to your loyal customers. Link to comment
Carl-L-ND 58 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 There is now a way to insert a horizontal line. See this post... Link to comment
Rob van Vliet 44 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 C'mon guys. Of course you can insert a horizontal line. It is located in the formatting bar next to the "todo" bullet. No date/time stamps though... Link to comment
SleepyHollow 1 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 This all sounds like a work around requiring a lot of labor for a simple feature that should just be there in the first place for every platform. Cross platform capability is one of Evernote's main selling features. Logging activities needs to be done without a lot of extra labor. It is hard enough to log without making logging a task in it's own right. It is one of those repetitive tasks that benefits greatly from automation - that is one of the main objects of computer software in the first place, is it not? Besides, I don't know of anyone who enjoys logging. It is just a necessary evil. I worked in software development for 19 years - it seams to me the implementation is minimal compared to the benefit gained for the customer. So Evernote development team, just implement this simple yet fundamental feature, for every platform (android,IOS,etc.) or at least give us a reason why it cannot be done. Link to comment

Carl-L-ND 58 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 I've now paid for the Time Share app where I have its' Time Clipboard icon on my home screen where it is configured to copy a time-date stamp into the clipboard and then open Evernote. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shhh.Apps.TimeShare To create a note or update an existing note I tap the home button, tap the Time Clipboard icon, Evernote opens and more often than not the note I want to go to is in my recent notes so scroll down a bit, open the note, edit, tap where I want to insert the time stamp, press and paste. Then continue with keying in my notes. . Link to comment
Carl-L-ND 58 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Maybe this has been there a while and I have not noticed but yesterday I spotted this and it is wonderful! When I use the Time Share app I mentioned above and Evernote opens, when I start to edit the note the newly acquired contents of the clipboard (the date and time) are showing in the space just above the keyboard. I position the cursor in the note, tap the text from the clipboard and it inserts it into my note. I tested it and the same happens when you use the traditional method of highlighting text to copy into the clipboard. No more long press to bring up the Android "Paste" option. A time saver! Awesome! . Link to comment
