Freebie Friday - Evernote

Freebie Friday! Today we are going to take a look at Evernote!

Evernote is a handy note-taking app that has spread its wings to nearly every platform around. There are versions for Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and an unauthorized versions for Linux.

There are a ton of uses for Evernote. Basically, if you once used a notebook to write something down, you can now use Evernote to keep track of it. Organize your day, collect and store information for a task, highlight the important matters, share with friends and family.

I use Evernote to store and organize recipes that I find online. I copy and paste the recipe into Evernote with a thumbnail picture of the dish and when I'm in the kitchen, my phone has the information! I keep the recipes in two categories - Yummers and Untried. If the Untried are horrible, they get deleted. If delicious, they go to the Yummers category! I also use it for little things like instructions for simple crafts.

The basic, free version of Evernote includes 60mb of new uploads a month and syncing on two devices. If you need more than that, you can get it for around $35 a year. I've never bumped up against the limits of the free version of Evernote though.

Give Evernote a try!
