Thanks alot!

Thank you for posting this. I have been using Evernote, and it's pretty impressive. Unfortunately, much of its true power (mainly OCR or image recognition) is lost on me since I don't have a camera on my device. Also I never use the web interface, and I tend only to use it on 1 computer.
Also, the text editor on Evernote is buggy and not very user friendly. I will def. give NV a try.

I'm the author of the Simplenote/Yojimbo Sync script - thanks for the mention. I find it works pretty well, but unfortunately as an Applescript + PHP hacky thing it's never going to be quite as slick as a syncing system built into an actual desktop client itself.

I like Yojimbo a lot obviously, but when I tried it, NV impressed me hugely, and Simplenote sync is just an added extra. As has been mentioned it can easily be used with Dropbox and Writeroom too. (I might at some point have the time to puzzle out the Simpletext sync protocol for the SNYS script - can't really call it an API at the moment - but I doubt it.) I use Yojimbo pretty heavily and don't want to start moving my text notes out of that system, but if I wasn't or did, I'd be using NV now.

Could never stand Evernote really.

(Incidentally I noticed this post because three other sites which appear to have scraped the whole thing and added a small note at the bottom "this originally appeared at..." pinged the SNYS page.)

The difference between doing this and using Evernote, for the people who are wondering, is that Evernote is a clunky, ugly piece of software.

I'm honestly amazed that any Mac user can bear using it. Even without a way to view your stuff online, Yojimbo beats it hands down.

I'm using Writer Room and Notational Velocity together, as described here...

...and it great.

The lights clicked on.

There is also a Simplenote Widget that works quite well and stays out of the way.

I've recently discovered Synotes on the iPhone which syncs with a web version. It is very fast and the UI is slick. The best part is that it offers an RSS feed so I can get notes in my email inbox. Email still remains the primary inbox for everything I need to do and look at. If I have to go to a separate app on my computer (like Notational Velocity, Yojimbo or Evernote) just to review notes, then I'm only adding steps to my workflow and probably missing important things I had the best intention of remembering.

I still use Evernote for collecting information and writing some notes for long-term storage. But if I want to create notes on the go, I use Synotes for iPhone and they are already waiting for me when I get back to my computer.

And if I do want to visit somewhere else to read, edit or manage notes, the web app is very well done. It's a new product with few features but it's very good at what it does.

I considered Notational Velocity but it seemed like it would only complicate my work flow. I want notes to come to me, not for me to go searching for them.

If anyone wants the extra .25 GB storage from Dropbox's referral program, I have a couple of invites left:
