Additionally, Evernote is available on a variety of platforms so it’s always at your fingertips. The flexibility of the system is the key to its success. Any time I need to refer to anything related to the project I can pull up the notebook or use Evernote’s robust search engine to find the information. Each of these can be individual notes and all can be bundled into a notebook where all the information is available together. In this notebook, I have included the pdf estimates for certain repairs the home needs, I have also taken pictures at different home improvement stores of items I might need to purchase and clipped web pages with relevant items and review. As an example of how this can be used, I am currently working on some renovations to my home. I typed in the word “cellar” and the image came up. One example, I recently was at the grocery store and could not remember what a wine looked like but I did remember it had the word “cellar” on the label. It can search images, documents, hand written notes, wine labels and almost anything with a recognizable character.

One of the best features is the search function. Separate notes can be arranged into related “notebooks” that hold similar information together by category and each note can be individually tagged for ease of search.

Each note also gives you the option to take snapshots right into the note as well as record audio or attach files directly.
