Metanota overview

Metanota is a beautiful OS X client and editor for creating and managing notes using well known cloud based services like SimpleNote and Evernote or simply local notes on your Mac.

Other note-taking cloud providers will be added constantly.

This version is free but supported by advertising, an In-App Purchase should be used to hide the ads forever.

  • All functions are easy to see and access
    The user interface is carefully streamlined, no unnecessary elements are left floating around. Metanota’s goal is to avoid interfering between you and your work.
  • Intelligent auto-formatting
    The note editor automatically formats the first line of a note as header and shows lists as, well, lists. Just put a dash (-) or a bullet and space in front of a paragraph and the correct indentation is added at once. Or, if you like plain and simple text, you can selectively turn off each feature.
  • 100% in sync with your SImplenote account
    All notes and tags, even deleted notes, are kept perfectly synchronized. But you can work offline as long as you want.
  • Fully manage Simplenote tags
    Tags are presented as folders, making easy to neatly organize your content. Local folders can be created, renamed or deleted, every change being promptly replicated to your SimpleNote account. And, last but not least, Metanota is maybe the only option we have to actually rename a Simplenote tag.
Just try it, it’s free!

What’s new in version 2.4

Version 2.4:
  • Multiple note selection (including drag and drop of multiple notes between sync providers)
  • Evernote sync improvements
  • Evernote's default folder is now highlighted and can be changed from Metanota
  • Evernote's "API limit reached" error is showing in the UI
  • Bug fixing

It's a nice product however the problem is it doesn't keep formatting, formatting notes (font, colour etc) doesn't seem to get across to Evernote. I mentioned the lack of sync of formatting and ability to attach files such as PDF here.... https://discussion.evernote.com/staging2/topic/63382-metanota-alternative-client-for-evernote-for-mac-osx-well-almost-but-not-entirely/ I don't know if it's just me, but formatting and adding PDFs didn't work, which is major requirement and one of the reasons for using Evernote rather than some other simple note taking application with sync.

Replaced 2.3 with 2.4 and it immediately lost all my settings! first time that's happened when updating MetaNota. Also, it pops up a dialog to upgrade to MetaNota Pro and you cannot do anything to remove the dialog, except quit the app.

This it at version 2.0.1 now. (The MacUpdate page for the non-pro version also needs to be updated.)
