@bentossell What are the note apps you've tried? Curious about your other experiences!
@ryanjamurphy wunderlist, todoist, apple notes, paper 3.0 - I just cant get into the habit haha
@bentossell I have the same problem and have tried all of them. I still keep falling back to apple notes
@johnalxndr @bentossell It really depends on your workflow. Centrallo definitely is geared toward the super busy person who blends personal and professional life and who wants to make sure that anything important gets put somewhere - then organized and/or searched for super quick access.
@bentossell Interesting that you're combining todo apps and ubiquitous capture apps – I put them in completely different categories. Todoist works for me for the former (very well, although they could do more for power users!); Evernote and OneNote vie for my attention in the latter. If I were you I would separate out your goals: if you want to capture all things in a place, that's a different goal than a todolist/organizer. To each their own, though!
As an aside, Centrallo looks a lot like Workflowy (https://workflowy.com). Might be worth your attention.
I just downloaded it to give it a try. Can you shine some light on what the purported utility of Centrallo is?
@andym_dc Centrallo helps people catch anything and everything that life throws at them. Reminder yourself to do something. Store a photo or a video that you might need one day. Sync an appointment with a note or list. Share anything with anyone, publicly or privately. More...
@andym_dc Catch everything life throws at you. Never miss anything important/ Share things with anyone.
Everything is fine at Evernote - yes there have been some changes but it remains a solid product and I believe will continue to do so for some time.
@helencrozier Yea, no one is implying that Evernote is going anywhere. They have a solid support base, but I can tell you that many of their power users have real concerns on many fronts. We built the import wizard to help their users organize notes into structured lists that can be easily shared or posted publicly.
I don't get any sense that Evernote is going away, tried notable on Mac and iOS and was really not pleased, and went back to Evernote...this looks really promising though - but need a Mac app - to clarify: is iOS password protection a core free feature or is it premium? if it is not free, then you're leaving upgrade money on the table...
Looking at Centrallo. Is there a bookmarklet, chrome extension, etc. so I can easily create a 'note'?
@stoweboyd Stowe. Webclipper and Chrome extensions coming soon. Be sure to check out our easy weblink posting capabilities from iOS and Android apps too.
@michaeljsher That's nice. Please hurry. But how would I find that out? You have no help files, no how tos, no support page, no community site.
@michaeljsher Did you ever create the bookmarklet or Chrome extension? This seems to be the latest mention of the idea.
It looks like exists thanks to Evernote existence. They mentions Evernote in every place they can. I would try to focus on show me the magical features that makes it unique.
Been looking for something like this. Glad to see it has great utility and Apple Watch support as well.
@the_scott_davis Cool. Glad you like the direction. Much more to come including desktop versions, major iOS update adding Force Touch, Spotlight, iPad Pro split screen and more.
@peskygeek Desktop versions in development. Give us until April 1 to release it. Make sure to register for Centrallo so we can message you when it's released.
Curious to see what happens if I import my 7000+ Evernote notes into Centrallo...
@frankmeeuwsen Should work fine provided that the enex file does not exceed 500MB. That's our limit. Next week, we are increasing it to 5GB.
@frankmeeuwsen How did it go, Frank? I tried to import 2 different notebooks. One had 75 notes, the other had just over 400. The 400+ notebook had serious lag issues after Centrallo said that the import was complete, and so far the lag doesn't seem to go away. As soon as that is fixed, Centrallo seems awesome, but I need import to work without the notes lagging afterwards in order to be able to functionally use it.
