    Long notes are a pain.  A notebook dedicated to the journal,  with a separate note for each day,  would give you a timeline,  and tags to indicate any content of significance would allow you to find all the notes containing "Project X" forinstance.  Actually Evernote's search is so good that a search within that notebook for all notes containing the phrase would do the same.  No scrolling involved...

    Long notes are desired and helpful for some.

    Can you identify the advantages of the "one note"

    I use one note per day for my daily journal   
    plus separate notes though out the day    
    I can quickly navigate to a specific day

    I can try: In my case, I write a few lines everyday (gratitudes), and so I'd like to be able to add or tag a date of entry within a single note, and navigate there. It's a long note, so maybe I wanna see some entries from 2020 (for example). Doing one for each day gets to be hundreds (thousands?) of individual notes each with only a few lines of text. Looking over them requires clicking in and out of different notes. This isn't ideal. Make sense?

    I'm now using Google Docs for this since they have the outline feature (so easy, enter the date, and it's an anchor link...really seems like it's not a super difficult feature), but I'm still using Evernote for other stuff. It's not ideal.

    There are other ways that utilizing a long single note that can have anchor points would be helpful (i.e. jotting down project ideas over time within a larger project notebook).

    One says "Oh, this brilliant idea was put on the table in 2014, and these morons still haven't got it".

    The "moron" says "Look, this idea didn't make it since 2014, and we are still there and thriving without it".

    Literally, nobody said moron but you.

    I'd trade away ALL my feature requests if we could do away with your brand of sarcastic, unhelpful moderation. 

    Reminder that I pay for Evernote, so I'll go ahead and ask for the things I want from it in order to get the most out of it. That's literally what this board is for. The various workaround and alternatives you and others suggest won't do the trick. That's why people continue to ask for this (and other) features. BTW, whats being asked for here isn't radical. I'm guessing you have enough knowledge and experience to be helpful, but it feels too difficult, if those of us on the board just wear you out with our input, maybe you should hang up the cleats for a while.

    Since you are mod here, ridiculing long time customers is not a good look for the brand.  It doesn't make these forums a helpful place for discussion.

    To answer your question, I was hoping Evernote would add zero knowledge encryption at some point.  I knew it wasn't there but liked other aspects of EN.  I am paying more attention than I had in the past to privacy aspects of services I pay for.  I switched to a zero knowledge encrypted backup for my PC for example,   I switched to Signal for messaging as it has better privacy.  A new note taking app is another step.

    The suggestion of using other products encryption and attach it completely defeats the purpose of using Evernote.  That's not a good solution for me, just a workaround.

    Be kind.  Rewind.

    Plus one for #pacman here. Smarmy jabs when people are expressing their concerns and needs on a forum that's...ummm...built exactly for those purposes, well it can get exhausting. The solutions you suggest (native encryption of outside apps/docs) isn't a solution that suits me (nor many others as far as I can tell), which is why we're on here requesting a different approach.

    Another vote for new note each day

     

    Right. One note per day is the current way. I get it, and I know that Evernote is built on that. I'm not trying to upend that, just hoping to have headings be anchor links so that I can ALSO use it (sometimes) in this other way.

    Hi.  Lots of disadvantages to long diary notes - slow to load / eggs in one basket (one error loses all records) / etc

    Plus.  Create a new note - comes with created date;  add data and save in "Diary" file - sort in created date order.  New day = new note. 

    Saves entering any dates at all.  Easier to find given entries,  and 'automatic toc' is just a listing of those entries.  Third-party add-in Filterize will keep that up to date for you if necessary.

    There's also a voting thread around for password protection,  though unless you're keeping medical, banking or financial detail in your notes it seems overkill for a daily record...

    Thanks for the reply. I really understand the reasoning and logic behind one new note for each entry. Still, I'd prefer to have headers act as anchor links. This is done automatically in G Docs, but instead of using Google, I'd like to use Evernote. May not happen, but that's what I'm providing feedback about.

  7. I like to keep a single note as a running kind of journal organized by date. Would love to have automatic toc/anchors for headings so when I put, e.g. a date in H2, it creates a link to it (see basic google doc for example). I still use other notes a lot, and appreciate all the features, but really want to have the option of having one long note. Also, password protection for notes, please.

    While this does not mean this is a feature that will be coming, we certainly want to relay user feedback/sentiment to our various teams.

    Ugh.

     

    This feature is a big one for me, as I'd *like* to be using evernote to record, y'know, personal thoughts, and not have to log out and log in to the app every time I use it.

  9. Basic user here. On a Mac (latest Mac OS), and trying to update the Evernote app I get an error that app not available "with this Apple ID." Not sure if the basic plan is prevented from updating, or what. Of course, I can't change the Apple ID, so I'm confused about what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Screenshot of error message is attached.
