In the interests of sharing, I have actually switched over to DayOne. Now I am as surprised as you might be to hear that, because "DayOne is a journalling app and not a general note taking app." But you know what, it works really, really well. The sync is awesome and fast. I was running Evernote Legacy for a while but it lost me when it kept duplicating notes and creating conflicts all over the place. That never happened in 10 years before the re-written “improvement”. I never ever had sync issues or conflicts until the new software. DayOne actually has a lot of the features I really need. Evernote had some, but took some away, and others have never had yet. DayOne feature overview: Timeline view Images view Map view of where notes are created (remember Atlas?) Calendar view (something Evernote sorely needs) Multiple journals (journals are like notebooks) Tags Metadata Integrated with calendar and photo library, so you can see a holistic view of a day Integrations with IFTTT So I have been using it solidly since December and have not missed Evernote once. DayOne’s sync is really fast, Evernote was slow and cludgy. I have barely opened Evernote in 6 months, and it would only be to retrieve something I needed. Now the DayOne note editor is not as advanced as Evernote and it doesn’t really do tables, but it supports markdown if you use that. I can live with its deficiencies as everything else is just awesome. Now migration will be a pain. I have 19,000 notes from over 10 years in Evernote. But there are a couple of clever scripts around and worst case it will just become a multi-year migration project. Check it out. You might be surprised. I was as I didn’t originally see it as a replacement at all, but it is. And I use it everyday, which is the ultimate test of whether something is user friendly.

I had trouble with this as well. com.evernote.evernote works for Evernote Legacy on my machine. Not sure if it makes a difference but I delete the new Evernote from my system, even though I think you can run them side by side. The script I use in Hazel is: tell application id "com.evernote.evernote" activate create note from file theFile end tell This script watches a folder for files added and then activates.

Yes I got caught off-guard as well. It upgraded and I didn’t realise we would lose functionality. Like a lot of you, I’m a 10 year Evernote user and am a bit sick of all of this "UI tinkering", and no new features. Just taking old features away. So sad. (I’m still holding a torch for Atlas). Yes I know they say there is all this back-room engineering going on, but sorry Evernote, we all live in the front room. To me it is just UI tinkering for no good reason. Back to legacy I go. Thanks for the link.

Totally agree. Cannot believe this incredibly useful feature has been removed.
