DevonThink vs. Evernote vs. Yojimbo, etc.

[klook]

I'm trying to decide what to use for the following:

• Organizing random ideas and snippets of text into logical order


• Organizing and searching in files of various types that I've created or scanned


• Maintaining lists of web bookmarks that I want to revisit


• Organizing material for creative projects


• Any other uses you recommend for your tool(s) of choice

1. Evernote is really convenient for note sharing,but in more complex

Situations, I find devonThink to be a dream.
Never tried yojimbo.

2. I'm a huge Evernote fan

I love the way it syncs between my iphone, my iMac and my Touchpad.

I will say I haven't tried the other two options you mentioned. I also use Dropbox.

3. I've hesitated going with Evernote because of privacy concerns

-- as I have with every other "cloud"-based service. But it could be that a version of this doctor's method would alleviate those concerns. (Scroll down to "Until Evernote receives certification..." to see what I'm talking about.)

I'm not a doctor, so the HIPAA issue isn't my concern -- I just err on the side of paranoia when it comes to privacy.

4. After using DevonThink for years, I just went all in on Evernote.

They have made great improvements in the last few months.

Access to everything, everywhere.
