I've been an Evernote user for well over 10 years, and it might be time to migrate to another note taking program. I use Evernote as a mass storage system that organizes saved webpages, news articles, recipes, computer tips and whatnot. It also contains some journal entries written when I've been on the road, and I want to avoid any future idiocy where Evernote decides to prevent user data export. Evernote has also doubled their subscription price. Fortunately, an open source note taking program called Joplin exists, and it purportedly easily imports Evernote's ENEX files. Joplin should allow me to securely sync from my phone to the main database on my computer. Fingers crossed!

I did the same thing last year. It worked well.

@Chriscrawfordphoto I'm still procrastinating on the switch, kind of like procrastinating on switching from Adobe Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve for video editing. Evernote holds just so much stuff that it's rather daunting, and I'm used to the interface and process. But I'll get there!
Do you sync from your phone? I'm loathe to use Google or Microsoft cloud storage and would prefer local sync such as Syncthing.

One thing that Joplin didn't work well with was syncing across devices. I was trying to use Microsoft OneDrive. I haven't tried anything else yet. I don;t use a smartphone; I dislike them and won't own one as long as I can avoid it. I have a tablet though, and right now just use Joplin on my desktop Mac.
