I’ve already adopted Outlook on my iPhone as a legitimate alternative to Apple’s kludgey Mail app which neither filters junk mail nor handles Gmail with any sort of efficiency so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Microsoft is quietly creeping in with alternatives that might actually be useful. Microsoft OneNote is another candidate though I cringe at the idea of utilizing another Microsoft product. There is a plug-in for Chrome to automatically add content to Keep from a web site and options to move content from Keep to Google Docs so if you are already entrenched in the Google camp, this might be a good candidate for you. It ends up looking like a tidy wall of sticky notes and has tagging.
It has a very “sticky note” aesthetic and allows for checkbox lists, image embeds and categorization labeling. I had several folks recommend Google Keep as an option which offers a web based interface as well as an iOS (and Android of course). I don’t usually use it like a paper notebook, it tends to be things that are copied and pasted from a digital source to a digital source, like URLs or in preparation to be digital content. I have collected some recipes in Evernote over the years but mostly I have various snippets, half-baked ideas, some lists and idea starters and an assortment of links stored in Evernote.

Sadly, my work computer does not allow me to install any applications so whatever options I choose need to have a web interface. I’m not exactly a “power-user” of Evernote but I like being able to access notes across multiple devices (iOS, web and home computer) so I think I’ll try to find a different solution sadly.
Now, if you want to use the service on more than two devices, you must pay for their premium service to the tune of $34.99/year for their Plus account or $69.99/year for their Premium account though their are offering the Premium account for a year at half price to entice folk over to the paid service. There have been lots of articles floating around the internet this week following the announcement that Evernote was changing its policies regarding how it was handling its accounts.
