TagSpaces as an Evernote alternative

The desktop version of TagSpaces operates with locally stored files and folders, which can be synced using cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Nextcloud. This enables users to sync selected notes (files) and notebooks (folders) to the cloud and access them from multiple devices. TagSpaces can also work with files stored directly in the cloud on S3-compatible buckets (e.g., AWS, Minio, Wasabi, etc.).

With this flexibility, TagSpaces is a strong alternative to popular note-taking apps like Evernote, OneNote, Simplenote, Joplin, Bear, or even personal wiki systems like TiddlyWiki.

Own your data! Unlike most note-taking services, TagSpaces allows you to decide where your files are stored, giving you complete control over your data.
