Searching for an Evernote / Notion / Bear alternative?
Nevernote is a privacy-first AI note taking app built for people who want the best parts of modern note apps (capture, organization, writing flow, search) with zero-knowledge encryption.
Why people leave Evernote / Notion / Bear
🔎 Search & recall
People want faster recall: better search, semantic discovery, and summaries of long notes.

🧠 Knowledge management
Backlinks, bidirectional linking, and a knowledge graph for research and long-term thinking.

More than notes: trips and people
Unlike most note apps, Nevernote is also built for business travel. Trips keeps your itineraries in one place — import from TripIt, forward bookings to trips@nevernote.ie, follow live flight tracking, and review travel analytics. People & Places is a private, encrypted contact CRM with follow-ups and "next time I'm in..." reminders, so every meeting on the road is prepared.
