Cimanote

The fast, clean note app Evernote used to be

Website cimanote.com
Overview

What it is

Evernote tripled prices, gutted the free tier to 1 device, and got slower every update. Enough was enough. Cimanote is the note app Evernote used to be: fast, clean, no bloat. Instant load · All devices · Rich editor · Evernote import (notes, notebooks, tags, attachments, all intact) · Real-time collaboration · Your data, always exportable. First year is completely free for our first 500 users. No card required. Then $6/mo, no surprises, ever. — Blagoja, founder

Intent

I need it when

Capture and organize information from multiple sources without losing context or spending time on manual organization

Cimanote's web clipper saves articles with formatting preserved, and the AI Knowledge Engine automatically builds entity pages and cross-notebook connections. Users can clip 20+ sources and the engine surfaces gaps and contradictions without manual tagging, letting researchers and consultants focus on analysis rather than filing.

Collaborate on shared documents in real time with team members across time zones without context-switching or email delays

Real-time collaboration with colored cursors lets multiple users edit the same note simultaneously. Changes sync instantly, and shared notes work on desktop and mobile. Guests can join with a link and no account required, making it easy for distributed teams to maintain a single source of truth for decisions and action items.

Access notes reliably across all devices with offline support and fast synchronization

Cimanote works as a Progressive Web App on every device with a modern browser. Pro users can create and edit notes offline with automatic sync when reconnected. All notes are encrypted in transit and at rest, and users can export data anytime as Markdown or HTML with no vendor lock-in.

Build a searchable personal knowledge base that surfaces insights and connections automatically as notes accumulate

The Knowledge Engine reads notes in the background and creates living entity pages for people, projects, and concepts. It synthesizes information across notebooks, flags contradictions, and detects gaps—turning scattered notes into a connected knowledge base without requiring manual linking or tagging.

Switch from Evernote or another note app without losing existing notes or paying for premium features immediately

Cimanote offers a full free year of Pro (including AI Knowledge Engine and collaboration) with no credit card required. Users can import notes from Evernote, and the free plan includes unlimited notes, search, and web clipper. After the free year, Pro costs $6/month or $60/year, with a 30-day refund guarantee.
