Today you have many cross-platform apps with official clients even for Linux. Taking notes, organizing your ideas and managing day-to-day tasks has never been easier. Whatever is an unofficial Evernote client for Linux and Ubuntu. However, a native app has a few advantages over a web app such as convenience. There’s also a web version that can be accessed using a browser, regardless of the operating system. Officially, the Evernote app is available only for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. But the open-source community always has something up their sleeve. The project author is apparently working on the UI and desktop functionality before tying the application into Evernote’s API.Evernote, like many other popular software companies, has mostly ignored Linux. It’s a work in progress and seems to not support core functionality (syncing notes) yet. Tantalus is an open-source project that aims to create a desktop Evernote replacement that looks really sharp. Tantalus is a replacement Evernote desktop application that is currently in development. NixNote 2 can be found on GitHub or over at SourceForge. If you have a large collection of notes, performing the initial sync to NixNote 2 will take a long time. Evernote’s API is rate-limited, which means you can download only a certain number of notes for a given time period (about 45 minutes).

The big drawback to NixNote 2 is the Evernote API. The UI is written with Qt, so users who aren’t using the KDE Plasma desktop will have to install the Qt libraries.

As a result, the interface feels smooth and far less buggy. The NixNote 2 interface shows dramatic improvements from the various beta releases.
