I didn't read the whole thread ,but searched it for "Synology" and found no hits. Synology Notes is a simple replacement for Evernotes. Its not a cloud server, you have to own the NAS it runs on, with it's own pros and cons. You can import evernote, and it has all the basic features of a note app (organization, formatting, syncing, apps) Good luck.

I copied everything to Synology NAS I already had. It comes with an app. DS Notes.. You can import enx files, but it has it's own format if you ever wanted to export. Does everything I need. Pros: free (if you own NAS) and you own data. Apps seems much faster but won't have all the bells and whistles of evernote (I never used) Con: you need to make sure it's properly backed up. May need a utility if I wanted to take my data elsewhere. I was able to import dozen+ notebooks and 1000+ notes w/o too much effort.

I been a user of Evernote for about 15 years.. although maybe less. I don't remember when I converted to pay, but in 22 I paid $35, in 23 I paid $70, in 24 they want $130. That's some price inflation. The product was increasingly useless and frustrating for me over the past year+.. the notes would take forever (10-15 secs) to load, and the syncing often resulted in conflicts. Yes, I did provide this feedback to evernote (on speed) and got canned responses. I reverted to older clients to have some speed on the laptops.. Anyway, about a month ago I converted all my 1000+ notes to Synology Notes... Took me couple of hours to imp/exp, but mostly re-organize/cleanup (easier to dump to file than using API) The good news the Federal Reserve can use my case as an example of "product substitution" in their CPI calculations. Just "closed" my evernote account for good. Thumbs up to Evernote team to make that easy. Thumbs down to Product team for whatever they've been doing for past two years while product was getting away from core use.
