I'm sure by now Evernote has lost thousands of members because they weren't willing to evolve with the times. I'm done with Evernote. I'm a Notion user now. 

Bear has the perfect "Distraction-Free Writing". Check out Bear's full-screen interface vs. Evernote's. This is something obvious. Almost anything made for writing or reading has margins and a clean interface.

I feel like Evernote started years ago ahead of the curve. And now the interface seems like it's taking a backseat to innovation.

Please Evernote team! I've been waiting for this easy change for years! I hate having to use two different apps for writing. I would love for Evernote to be my main writing center!

I was wondering about that.
I use the Evernote editor for basic notes, but it certainly isn't my main writing tool.

We (office) mostly use Word/Pages, stored in Evernote as a note attachment.
I would think serious writers are using apps like Scrivner or Ulysses.

I don't need those big apps to draft articles. If I could just get the simple tools of margins and disappearing toolbar, then I'd be so happy. Evernote just isn't interested in jumping in that market because that's not where the money is. Money is in business features.

If you open the note you are working on, then open that note in a new window and switch that window to full screen, you get pretty close to what you're asking for.

I know. But it's still ugly enough to not be a distraction-free workspace. There are no margins on the document, and the writing tools don't disappear when typing.

It sure is a good start! But no, it's definitely not a perfect writing environment. I'm going to guess that you don't use Evernote primarily for writing long articles/books/etc? What other things like tasks and clippings do you use for Evernote?

I've been waiting for Evernote to add this feature for years. This is what I would love:

1. A button within the note that enables full-screen mode. This mode removes EVERYTHING except the words. Moving your mouse will make editing tools visible.

2. Full-Screen Mode also has margin and line-height functionality.

That's it!

Please Evernote! Please make this change to our desktop app!
