2. Evernote
CAPTURE EVERYTHING, ACCESS ANYWHERE, FIND THINGS FAST
WHAT IS EVENOTE?
Evernote makes it easy to remember things big and small from your
notable life using your computer, phone and the web.
Chances are, if you can see it or think of it, Evernote can help you remember it. Type a text note. Clip a
web page. Snap a photo. Grab a screenshot. Evernote will keep it all safe.
Everything you capture is automatically processed, indexed, and made searchable. If you like, you can
add tags or organize notes into different notebooks.
Search for notes by keywords, titles, and tags. Evernote magically makes printed and handwritten text
inside your images searchable, too.
WHY DO I NEED IT?
With Evernote, your notes are always with you .
 Snap a photo of a business card with your phone, and have an easy way to store and access
contacts,
 Keep notes from your meetings all in one place. Take a picture of a whiteboard and you’ll be
able to find it later.
 Plan your next trip. Clip web pages, maps, and itineraries. Capture sights, sounds, tastes, and
anything else.
 Remember the things you were supposed to remember. Create to-do lists, jot down random
thoughts, leave a voice memo, and more.
