Evernote was acquired by the Italian technology company Bending Spoons in November 2022.{{cite news |last1=Wiggers |first1=Kyle |title=Bending Spoons acquires Evernote, marking the end of an era |url=https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/16/bending-spoons-acquires-evernote-marking-the-end-of-an-era/ |access-date=16 January 2025}}

Evernote is used for creating and managing textual notes, with the ability to embed photos, audio, and saved web content.

Notes are stored in virtual "notebooks" which can be arranged hierarchically, and can be tagged, annotated, edited, searched, and exported.

In addition to textual notes, Evernote supports image capture from cameras on supported devices and voice note recording. In some situations, text that appears in captured images can be recognized using OCR and annotated.

Evernote supports touch and tablet screens with handwriting recognition and the ability to e-mail notes to the service, allowing for automated note entry via email rules or filters.Westfall, Jonathan.

Users with internet access and an Evernote account will have their notes automatically synchronized with a master copy held on Evernote's servers.

This approach gives a user access to edit their data across multiple machines and operating system platforms from anywhere, but still view, input, and edit data when an internet connection is not available. Offline changes will only be saved as a draft until internet connection is established.

Evernote uses industry standard security to encrypt and protect users information.{{Cite web |last=Hyatt |first=Michael |date=2011-06-02 |title=Is Your Data Safe in Evernote? |url=https://fullfocus.co/is-your-data-safe-in-evernote/ |access-date=2023-11-20 |website=Full Focus |language=en-US}}

Where Evernote client software is not available, online account holders can access their note archives via a web interface or through a media device. The service also allows selected files to be shared for viewing and editing by other users.{{Cite web |date=2023-03-10 |title=Cannot access my notes in the web client - "oops, we encountered an error" |url=https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/145166-cannot-access-my-notes-in-the-web-client-oops-we-encountered-an-error/ |access-date=2023-12-12 |website=Evernote User Forum |language=en-US}}

Evernote has various account options, including free and paid tiers.{{Cite web |title=Compare plans and get started for free |url=https://evernote.com/compare-plans |access-date=2025-02-03 |website=Evernote |language=en-us}}

{{As of|2025|February}}, Evernote has a free plan of 50 notes (of a maximum size of 200 MB) and 1 notebook, syncing to 1 device. Paid plans include Personal, Professional and Teams offerings. Enterprise services are also available upon request.

Accounts on the Professional tier have a 20 GB upload limit per month, can export notes as PDF files, and can forward emails directly into Evernote,{{cite web |url=https://evernote.com/compare-plans|title=Which Evernote is right for me?; Evernote |website=evernote.com |access-date=March 19, 2023}} which includes a 20% discount on Adobe Acrobat Standard.{{Cite web |title=Adobe Acrobat x Evernote - Create the ultimate document workflow |url=https://evernote.com/adobe-acrobat |access-date=2025-02-03 |website=Evernote |language=en-us}}

The free service, meanwhile, does not make files available offline on iOS and Android devices; while sometimes they are available from cache, editing these files can cause conflicts when synchronizing.{{Cite web |last=JonBaker007 |title=Configure offline data for the Field Service (Dynamics 365) mobile app (contains video) |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/field-service/mobile-power-app-system-offline |access-date=2023-01-25 |website=learn.microsoft.com |language=en-us}}

Additionally, portable versions of Evernote are available for flash drives and U3 drives. There are no officially supported native clients for BSD or Linux, but the company provides an API for external Linux clients.{{Cite web|url=https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313748-Evernote-on-Linux|title=Evernote on Linux|website=Evernote Help & Learning|language=en-US|access-date=2018-09-16|archive-date=September 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916055924/https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313748-Evernote-on-Linux|url-status=live}}

There is substantial variation in supported features on different platforms. For example, it is possible to edit Rich Text Format and sketches on Windows, while on Apple Macintosh it is possible to edit rich text, but only view sketches.

Web clipping support is installed by default on the Internet Explorer and Safari browsers when the Evernote software is installed on Windows or macOS.

In late 2020, Evernote released Evernote v10, written from scratch in the Electron framework, to replace older versions on multiple platforms.{{Cite web|last=Barry|first=Geoffrey|date=2020-10-29|title=Evernote for Windows 10.2 is here|url=https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/130167-evernote-for-windows-102-is-here/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101125026/https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/130167-evernote-for-windows-102-is-here/|archive-date=2020-11-01|access-date=2020-11-05|website=Evernote User Forum}}{{Cite web|title=Can Evernote make a comeback?|url=https://www.engadget.com/evernote-cross-platform-note-taking-app-redesign-interview-130026972.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101194853/https://www.engadget.com/evernote-cross-platform-note-taking-app-redesign-interview-130026972.html|archive-date=November 1, 2020|access-date=2020-11-17|website=Engadget|date=October 20, 2020 |language=en}}

In June 2016, Evernote introduced a new limitation to just 2 devices on the free plan (previously unlimited) and increased the price of their paid plans.{{Cite web |title=Evernote Limits Device Sharing for Free Users, Bumps Up the Price of Paid Plans — June 28, 2016 |url=https://lifehacker.com/evernote-limits-device-sharing-for-free-users-bumps-up-1782744350 |access-date=2023-12-11 |website=lifehacker.com|date=28 June 2016 }}{{Cite news |date=June 28, 2016 |title=Evernote raises prices of its paid plans, limits device sharing on free tier |url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/6/28/12052056/evernote-price-changes-basic-plus-premium |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160629043043/http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/28/12052056/evernote-price-changes-basic-plus-premium |archive-date=June 29, 2016 |access-date=June 29, 2016 |work=The Verge}}

In December 2023, Evernote reduced its free plan drastically (to a maximum of 50 editable notes), taking effect the same day.{{Cite web |title=Note and notebook limits in Evernote Free — December 2023 |url=https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/23565231682323-Note-and-notebook-limits-in-Evernote-Free-December-2023 |access-date=2023-12-11 |website=help.evernote.com}} This change and the lack of transition period have been considered unfavorable to free users who have used Evernote for years.{{Cite web |last=Perez |first=Sarah |date=2023-11-27 |title=Evernote pushes users to upgrade with test of a free plan limited to only 50 notes |url=https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/27/evernote-pushes-users-to-upgrade-with-test-of-a-free-plan-limited-to-only-50-notes/ |access-date=2023-12-11 |website=TechCrunch |language=en-US}}

In August 2024, Evernote further reduced its free plan to allow only one connected device at a time, with a maximum of two "desyncs" per month. {{Cite web |title=Evernote Free Limit Changes |url=https://evernote.com/blog/free-limit-changes-august-2024 |access-date=2024-09-13 |website=Evernote |language=en-us}}{{cite web |url=https://evernote.com/blog/free-limit-changes-august-2024 |website=evernote.com |access-date=20 August 2024 |title=Update: Evernote Free accounts can connect 1 device, create larger notes, and upload more content }}
