3 Best Evernote Alternatives With Official Linux Clients

Evernote is a well-known note-taking application that allows you to create, edit, and delete notes from their web-based application as well as Evernote client apps for Windows, Mac, and all major mobile platforms. Unfortunately, Evernote does not have a client app for Linux. Evernote has some unofficial clients, such as Everpad. However, there are always issues with such unofficial clients. In this article, I’ve compiled a list of three Evernote alternatives that offer all note-taking features as well as a Linux client for syncing notes directly from your Linux desktop.

1. WizNote

WizNote is a free note-taking application for personal use that allows Linux users to sync notes directly from their desktop via an official WizNote Linux client application. WizNote has many useful features, including unlimited note sync, the ability to create teams and groups, a commenting system that allows members of your team to comment on your notes, private deployment, and much more.

If you want to add something to your notes, Wiznote allows you to do so. It allows you to add attachments to your notes, allowing you to create more useful notes.

wiznote create teams & groups

Wiznote allows you to create teams and groups. You can add members to your teams, and they will be able to collaborate and comment on your notes.

2. Laverna

On Linux, another Evernote alternative is Laverna. Laverna, like WizNote, offers an official Linux client for creating, editing, and deleting notes without having to visit a web-based application. Laverna, on the other hand, is a little different from the other Evernote alternatives. It does not have its own storage to store and sync notes, but it can be connected to Dropbox cloud storage and all of your notes will be saved in the cloud storage, making all of your notes available at all times.

3. Springseed

If the above two Evernote alternatives do not persuade you for some reason, there is Springseed. Springseed is a straightforward note-taking app for Linux. It’s simple, but it has the most basic features, such as simple text formatting, HTML support to make notes more attractive and easy to read, and cloud sync with Dropbox so you can access your notes from any device.
