“We understand that Microsoft will release the OneNote for Mac app for free, and the company is also planning to make the Windows desktop version available at no extra cost. We’re told part of this free approach is targeted at competitors like Evernote, but Microsoft is also adding additional features to entice people away from the competition.” This marks a significant change in the way Microsoft manages OneNote, unbundling it fully from the cost of Office. In addition, Microsoft is apparently adding a new “web clipper” feature that will allow users to “clip parts of webpages directly into a OneNote.” Browser extensions will allow the clipping feature directly in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer and it’s said to be a lot like a similar feature already available in competitor Evernote. Yesterday representatives from Microsoft confirmed that a new version of Office for Mac will arrive before the end of the year with more details coming sometime during Q2. If you’re switching to Evernote from another note-taking app, the import/export feature makes it easy to move all of your previous work without losing any data (and without the need for tedious recreations of past notes.The company also confirmed the upgrade would be free to existing Office 365 subscribers. Users can also import and export notes from other sources. For example, Mac users can create a “Facetime Camera Note” that allows them to talk directly to the camera to make memos to themselves. Anyone with a desktop app will have a local backup of all of their synced notes that they could access any time.Īnother major difference is the types of notes users can create. Should something happen and you lose Internet connection (or if Evernote’s servers were downed by a DDOS attack), web-only users would lose access to their notes. Like mentioned above, the most important difference is local storage. There are several major differences between the web version of Evernote and Evernote desktop. This higher price point can put the paid version of Evernote out of reach for the average user. Unfortunately, many of Evernote’s most powerful integrations are not available to free users-only business users. These integrations give Evernote an advantage over other note-taking programs that don’t offer the same levels of integration and utility.
