(Alternote is pretty good but still a little buggy on El Cap.) Fortunately my text was still there in Alternote, but I was eager to force a manual sync after that. I was worried when I was writing this review (in Alternote!) and it crashed without having finished a sync. That said, automatic sync maxes out at every 15 minutes in Alternote, which will not be automatic *enough* for some. One nice touch in Alternote is that you can selectively sync your Evernote content. On the other hand, if you’re using the Basic Evernote level, you won’t get bombarded in Alternote with a steady stream of upgrade ads! You can scroll down the sidebar list, of course, or-what may be quicker-access them via a drop-down menu.Īlternote feels lighter than Evernote, for which I appreciate it, but it’s not necessarily faster or higher-performing. This means Notebooks-especially the few you use most-are a little trickier to navigate in Alternote. You can star certain Notes for easy access-and can just drag the Notes into the sidebar to do it–but not Notebooks. You cannot create Notebook Shortcuts in the left sidebar–which is another big part of how I use Evernote. I hope a future update adds this feature, as I consider it to be somewhat basic Evernote functionality. What does not work in Alternote is dragging a PDF, for example, into the app to make it its own Note. You can successfully drag a file or image into a Note in Alternote. If you use Evernote to organize substantial amounts of text (i.e., more than just Web links), you’ll appreciate the look and feel of Alternote. This makes Alternote a much more appealing app for writing on a Mac. There are some nice font options, as well as the option to get into a visually pleasing Night Mode: You can hide the sidebar to have two panes, or go into distraction-free mode, where you simply view the note you’re writing in. I explain why in my review below.Īs with Evernote, Alternote gives you three panes: the sidebar, the Notes pane, and the editor window with Note content. It may not be a fully suitable replacement for Evernote, though. If you use Evernote and have any level of dissatisfaction, especially with its layout, you should consider Alternote. Alternote is an Evernote client–yes! an Evernote client does exist–for Mac.
