Switching from Evernote?

Three reasons to switch
Your notes should be faster
Cimanote opens instantly. No spinners, no heavy desktop client. As a PWA it weighs under 5 MB, compared to Evernote’s 300+ MB native app.
Your notes should be smarter
Evernote’s AI helps you search. Cimanote’s Knowledge Engine builds understanding - auto-generated entity pages, cross-notebook synthesis, and gap detection.
Your notes should cost less
Evernote charges $14.99/mo for Personal. Cimanote is $6/mo, with a free year to start. No device limits on any plan.
