Typing of the Life

At Evernote, we believe that speed and stability are essential for productivity. That’s why we’ve completely rewritten Evernote for Mac. It may look familiar but it's significantly faster, more reliable and consumes less energy than ever before. We’ve also snuck in some new features!

This is a great news for Evernote users since speed has always been an issue for those who didn’t give Evernote another try. If you’re new to Evernote, here’s a few tips to help you getting started.

Speed:

Sync is more than 3x faster. Users with lots of shared notebooks and Evernote Business users will see the biggest improvements.

New notes sync instantly so they’re immediately accessible on your other devices.

Share notes without waiting for a sync to complete.

Launch and quit times have been reduced dramatically.

New keyboard shortcuts have been added to jump to the note list for easy navigation (CMD + |) and you can now tab between the search field, the note list, current note title and note body.

Energy consumption when the app is idle has been significantly reduced. Stability:

We’ve closed over 500 bugs including more than 150 types of crashes.

Our crash reporting system has been completely rebuilt.

New features:

Tables can now be resized, and have configurable background colors and border styles.

Images can be resized right in the note editor. Just click an image and drag the handle in the bottom right corner.

Search results are now ordered by relevance.

Faster notebook selector at the top of the note list remembers your recently used notebooks.

Redesigned checkboxes in the note editor are easier to click.

Evernote will now stay logged in by default.

Using Command + I to get file information is the common shortcut on Mac, but it can clutter the screen if we want to view multiple items.

Dropbox keeps the cache of your deleted files in a hidden folder under this path:

~/Dropbox/.dropbox.cache/
