I want to leave my mind blank, but I'm terrified of what will happen if I do

I don't trust Evernote (I think it's gonna die soon)

I've heard this sort of thing a lot lately, and it makes me worried, since I'm a big Evernote user :ohdear: I've thought about switching to Notes, but every time I get close to pulling the switch, it fails to do a sync in some big way that half the time makes me lose data, and that's just as bad.

What's a good Evernote replacement? I just want notes, sorted into folders, with some rudimentary styling.

That was from the app ratings. If that's not the case, then cool.

Definitely not the case according to their site:

quote:

Your journal data is private and we do the following to help keep it that way:

All data, including entries and photos, are stored in encrypted form on our servers.

We use encrypted connections for all server communication to and from your devices over the Internet.

Access to data is limited to key operational employees. These employees keep the sync service running, but are strictly prohibited from ever accessing encrypted data unless required for technical support or when legally required to do so.

We help guard against breaches by requiring strong passwords and two-factor authorization for all administrative accounts.

So, it's encrypted, but it's that kind of encryption where they hold the key. I can see why it sets off alarm bells for a lot of people. It certainly does for me too, but there just isn't a better option as far as I know. Journey looks good, but it's not out for iOS.

quote:

Curious why you think Evernote is going to die? It is firmly entrenched in the business world, my work licenses the Pro version for everyone who wants to use it. The only real competitor I see is One Note. I'd have moved over if One Note's custom tagging wasn't pants on head idiotic. So, Evernote it is until that's fixed.
There's just been a lot of talk about it not being able to generate enough revenue. Very few people buy Evernote Pro, and apparently it's not sustainable. I seem to remember that a bunch of people were laid off recently too.

I also love Evernote, and hope that it sticks around, but it's not looking good.

I follow this app fairly closely, and I haven't heard anything about a subscription. I don't think you have anything to worry about on that front.

It's on their twitter

https://twitter.com/dayoneapp/status/696174294607396864

And if you read the rest of the thread they even say that it's hard to say how much the subscription will cost "until they have premium features". Not "if". It's gonna happen. Just a matter of time.

I'll see if I can dig it up, but take it with a grain until then, but I thought I read that full res pics will eventually be part of a 'premium' service for a monthly or yearly fee.

Edit: yep. One post above me.

Thanks for this. I hadn't seen it. Luckily, it sounds like 1) that's not coming up anytime soon and 2) it's only going to be for a certain set of features. As I'm reading it, the product will continue to work as-is for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, my issue with it is that there was no mention of a subscription of premium features in the announcement and I upgraded because I thought I was getting all the features that were listed there. If they make some of those features "premium" I'm gonna be mad. If it's other stuff though, I don't really mind.

You mean to have it repeat the next day at the same time? The stock Clock app lets you set which days an alarm will repeat on so will leave it on for those days every time you dismiss it.

No, on Android if you say, wake up 5 minutes before an alarm, you can stop the alarm from going off without changing any of its settings or turning the alarm off.

Paprika is hands down the best cooking app I've ever used.

It's also the only cooking app I've really used.

(I also bought it for Mac so it all syncs and I can manage recipes on it which owns)

Thirding Paprika. In my opinion, it is the best - and Ive tried others.

I think Paprika is goon made. I recommended it to my mom - it is the only non-standard mac and iphone app she uses, after bouncing off of so many different apps. She's been using it for years. Good endorsement if you ask me.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

Paprika sounds great, but the application doesn't accurately predict weather in my area so the real question is what application should I use for weather. Don't say Dark Cloud because you can't store recipes in it.

While I always enjoy the person who brings it back around to weather for shits n giggles, I have to say that it'd be amazing if a cooking app pulled in your altitude and did the math on cooking times/temps to more accurately reflect your location.

I'm on board with location-based cooking. The next cooking app I buy must use Location Services to automatically convert recipes between glorious American freedom units and terrible Communist moon units as appropriate.

Tapping buttons to convert, ugh.

Procreate for everything but sketching.

Notes is awesome for basic sketching, and Adobe sketchbook pro for sketching with layers and a bit more customizability.

I know pros who use sketchbook pro for sketching and procreate for inking and coloring, with a little finish afterwards in photoshop on pc.

God damn it, you've got to be kind.
The CEO at work dunked his iPhone at the end of a three week safari in Africa and is bemoaning the loss of all the photos and videos he shot. He was under the assumption that Dropbox was autosyncing them along with iCloud's backup and photo library.

Is there a reliable method to keep his photos and videos synced that doesn't require any action on his part? He's a high level consumer of technology with low level comprehension.

Did he not turn on iCloud photos library? That has always been reliable for me.

I'm pretty sure iCloud needs wifi to sync. Dropbox can use mobile data (it's an option you need to enable).

Oh, right. For some reason I thought iCloud could be set to use mobile data. In any case, Google Photos has free unlimited photo storage and can be set up to back up both photos and videos over mobile data.

Unlimited downscaled for free, can use original size which will use whatever you have for storage shared between gmail/google drive etc

Also amazon and ms onedrive have apps that will auto backup photos/vids to their respective services. Tons of options (I use several for redundancy but I only backup via wifi)
