Quentier

Cross-platform desktop Evernote client

What's this

Quentier is a cross-platform desktop note taking app capable of working as Evernote client. You can also use Quentier for local notes without any connection to Evernote and synchronization.

Quentier is free software distributed under the terms of GPL v.3.

See this blog post about recent UI changes.

At the moment Quentier is in public alpha state and is not yet intended for production usage. Currently it's targeted at software enthusiasts, developers and people who like tinkering with fresh stuff.

Quentier is written in C++ using Qt framework and is built on top of libquentier library.

Read the project's blog and wiki for more details.
