Just a fun fact, you get what you pay for. UpNote is based in Vietnam (not a privacy friendly country) and doesn't even support 2FA without using a 3rd party authentication provider such as Google which also isn't privacy friendly.

I'd rather sick with Evernote where they make this very clear: https://evernote.com/privacy/3-laws-of-data-protection

I did some research on this. It might not be as clear as everyone seems to state here. Evernote''s site says, "In late 2016, we began migrating the Evernote service to the Google Cloud Platform (“GCP”). Customer data that we store in GCP will be protected using Google’s built-in encryption-at-rest features. More technically, we use Google's server-side encryption feature with Google-managed encryption keys..."  https://evernote.com/security

UpNote's says, "UpNote stores data on the Firebase server (which is a service provided by Google). The Firebase platform is certified to major privacy and security standards and fully supports the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Firebase encrypts your data in transit using HTTPS and encrypts your data at rest....Does UpNote support multi-factor authentication (MFA)? Yes, you can use the "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Apple" method when creating or signing in to your UpNote account. These methods support MFA by default."   https://getupnote.com/support.html

PC Mag article in Dec 2023, "The UpNote team is based in Vietnam, and says that all data is stored on a Firebase server in the US. Google provides Firebase service, which encrypts data in transit using HTTPS and encrypts data at rest." https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/upnote

I feel fine using UpNote for non-password information. I have loved the interface. I could not see some of my note attachments in Evernote and the syncing was unreliable, not acceptable for me and what I do. Thanks for the opinions here, as it caused me to do my own research and feel even better about my decision.

This is what I see. Maybe it's wrong.

All I can say is I’m using it on Windows. So far I have 2,000 notes imported from Evernote.
Perhaps what they mean is, you cannot pay for the premium service from your windows app. You have to pay for the premium through your phone. Also, there is no web-based access— you cannot log into your account through an Internet browser and see all your notes. You must use one of the apps.

Does UpNote exist for Windows? The website says it doesn't yet. Not one that supports the paid version to support more than 50 notes.

Yes, it does support Windows, and yes, you have to pay if you want more than 50 notes. At $.99/month, it was worth it to me. I have thousands of notes. You can also get a lifetime access for something like $30. That is cheaper than EN!

Upnote is decent note app that runs on Windows.  Their documentation mentions an import from Evernote, but I have never used it so can't speak to how good that process is.

Evernote user since 2012. Use it for work and home for so many things. The new EN app on my iPad, iPhone and Windows are clunky and slow. So, I just switched to UpNote. Have imported 8,000+ notes. UpNote is working great! The interface is clean and I am SO GLAD I made the switch. Using it on Windows and my iPhone.
