Until recently I used Evernote for my notes, web clippings and document drafts, I was a subscriber going on 14 years and had over 3000 notes.
However in recent years Evernote has gone downhill to the point it could be considered hostile to it’s users.
The native macOS app was replaced with an Electron Javascript webframe and like almost all Electron apps I’ve tried it was plagued by poor performance, memory leaks and aggressive idle CPU utilisation and above all else it now lacks the low latency feeling the native application had.

After 14 years as an Evernote subscriber with over 3000 notes, the author switched to Bear after Evernote replaced its native macOS app with an Electron-based client that suffers from poor performance, memory leaks, high CPU usage, and removed offline note functionality. Several alternatives were evaluated including Notion, Ulysses, Simplenote, and iA Writer. Bear was chosen for its native app performance, clean interface, Markdown support with code blocks, offline access, cross-device sync, web clipper, and affordable $15/year pricing.

Goodbye Evernote, Hello Bear
