The Apple user market share is over 20%, and on what basis do you assume that only half of them were using tabs? After all, Apple users also know them from other programs, even in the Finder folder and Pages ... I can't imagine it without them. And other, newer note-taking programs also allow it as an extension, or even standard with Obsidian, which is why I'm still wondering why Evernote isn't, even though they actually make a lot of money with their product. But maybe precisely because profit is more important to them? I don't know it. But it should be ok for me, because luckily there are alternatives, I was just interested in them.

I also wondered how the Evernote operators want to know how much the tabs are used (so much for data protection). However, I received different answers to my inquiries from different types, the last one at the end of 2022 was the justification for poor use, and overall I had the feeling that they didn't know anything either. What excites me about current note-taking projects, especially those with open source, is that I get real answers, that you can actively help develop in a community, and that there are extensions so that it feels like nothing is left to be desired. Thanks for the contributions, I learned something from them, but it confirmed that I should finally turn my back on EN (after 12 years of use and over 1000 notes).

You can certainly try to use windows instead, because some things have actually become habitual. Yes, yesterday I tried it again intensively, alternatively working with windows or with the internal links to other notes... But it was clearly too confusing and too complicated for me, since I also work with browsers and Office documents and other programs. Split screens also work temporarily on Mac, but they only make sense if you only work with two to four documents for a long time. If you could set links as easily as e.g. B. with Obsidian (Markdown language), and could retrieve graphical views, or could build your own dashboards, such as. B. in AnyType (beta phase) or in Notion, then I would certainly find a way to quickly find the notes that belong together using links. So Evernote can't win me back like that, and even for an expensive subscription.

I am no longer sad about the loss of the multiple tab functionality and the Evernote strategy with the pricing model, as I have now found better alternatives that are free to use. Of course everyone has their own requirements... But what I can also share are my reasons why the tabs are indispensable for me: 1.) The ability to open multiple notes in different tabs at the same time lets you work efficiently on different aspects of a project without having to switch between different views. This is particularly helpful if you are preparing a presentation and want to collect and process information on several points at the same time. 2.) Using tabs makes it easy to move text or objects back and forth between different notes. This makes organizing and structuring information easier, which is especially important when combining different sources or ideas into a project. 3.) For complex topics that are divided into several facets, the ability to deal with different aspects in separate tabs offers better clarity. This not only makes editing easier, but also makes it easier to understand the connections between the different parts of a project. 4.) When interrupted or need to quickly capture a thought on another topic, opening a new tab allows for quick capture without losing the current work window. This is particularly helpful if you are regularly interrupted by concerns that require immediate attention. 5.) Keeping a tab open allows you to continually document your work while working on other tasks. This promotes structuring and tracking of your activities, which is particularly useful for reflecting on progress and planning future steps. The tabs structure not only enables projects to be processed in parallel, but also flexible handling of interruptions and the seamless recording of thoughts without losing the current work context. Since internet browsers fulfill different functions for me and I want to keep my data synchronized easily and securely with multiple devices, I use note-taking apps for everything I edit with them. And my current attempt to try it without tabs was not satisfactory for me, especially since Evernote now requires a subscription and does not offer any special data security or data protection. I haven't yet fully understood how other providers can do it cheaper, more securely, with more functionality, and still with tabs ... Compare on the website https://noteapps.info/

Oh, are there no multiple tabs in the programs under Windows? I've actually been using a Mac for many years, and not just because of the tabs in many programs...

I was just checking again to see if tab functionality had been reintroduced, as initially promised in ticket responses. But now I'm even happier with other note-taking apps than I was with Evernote after I got used to them and transferred the data. My personal recommendation: Joplin or Obsidian: Free to use, open source and more secure, many extensions can be installed (including multiple tabs)... So if you are dissatisfied with Evernote, just give it a try. I'm currently excited about AnyType, but it's still in the beta phase.

I created many tickets about the issue, most recently a year ago, to which I received the following response: "I see that you have contacted us regarding your request to bring back the multi-tab functionality so you can work on multiple notes at once "This feature has been removed because it was not a commonly used feature during previous updates. I understand how valuable this feature is to you and we appreciate your feedback." I then began to try out other note-taking apps and gradually created them. Now I don't miss Evernote at all anymore. Because the other recommended ones are free to use, open source and safer: You have more control over your own data and can synchronize it yourself. In addition, the Markdown format guarantees that you will never lose access to your data, and the note-links are brilliant. So since then I've been using: Joplin Notes Obsidian Notes Logseq Notes All are free to use and also offer multiple tabs. But you sometimes have to incorporate something new, e.g. B. set up the tab function as an extension yourself; But you also have access to many extensions, depending on your own use. So I simply recommend setting up the new notebook little by little until you see that it's worth it. Then you can export your Evernote-Notes and delete Evernote.
