But, unlike in 2004, users have many more choices available to them today, one of which is Google Keep. It strayed too far from its core value proposition of helping people “remember everything” and opened itself up to competition from Google, Microsoft, and other companies.Įvernote is still alive and kicking-for now. However, after a series of botched product launches and a major managerial restructure in 2015, Evernote lost its way as a product. Released in 2004, Evernote is a note-taking app that used to be the undisputed king of personal productivity tools.

If you’re looking for tools to help you keep your life organized, chances are pretty good that you’ve used or at least heard of Evernote. I wanted to know other ways to integrate and fully implement productivity workflows with Evernote and the recurring reminder function of Keep.Unless you carry a notebook around in your pocket, the chances are pretty good that you’re using your mobile device to keep track of your digital life. Now, with Keep, based on the planning I did with Evernote, I set the weekly and monthly reminders to remind me of important deadlines, tasks and events related to those projects. My basic workflow has Evernote as a main repository of tasks, with linked notes stored in separate main planning notes, for each project. I found in Google Keep a solid app to use in integration with Evernote, specially because of its robust reminder function, with a lot of possibilities to set recurring reminders. However, Todoist locks the feature for its Premium users, which is a major reason for me to look for something else, since I already pay for the Premium version of Evernote.

I tried two apps with the reminder function, Todoist and Google Keep. For me, a downside of Evernote is the lack of recurring reminders. I've been using Evernote for a few years and recently I started to deal with recurring dates for projects.
