Evernote for Mac has arrived! Extra bonus: Safari 3 support.

March 11th, 2008

Evernote for Mac LogoWe teased you with the Mac client a couple of weeks ago in our overview video, and now it’s here. Trust us, it was worth the wait. Evernote for Mac has all the features you expect —advanced image search, synchronization, new note authoring, tagging, and note sharing— and some amazing extras:

  • Thumbnail view — Zoom in or out and visually scan through your notes
  • Snapshot note — Photo Booth-like interface that takes a snapshot and adds it to a notebook
  • Notebook publishing — Publish any notebook for the whole world to see right from your desktop
  • Mac clipper — Turn screenshots and copied content into new notes

Check out our new, more comprehensive Mac video:

If you have an Evernote account, go ahead and download the Mac client here. If you’re still waiting for an invitation, Download Squad and TechCrunch are giving out a whole bunch today, or you can register here.

Evernote for Mac is designed for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

In related news, Evernote Web now supports Safari 3. We have a few short tutorial videos on how to install and use the browser web clipper with Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer here.

    Is the mac client a universal binary for us G4/G5 users?

  2. Phil Libin says:

    Yes, but as we should have pointed out - it requires Leopard.

  3. Jan Ignatius says:

    While trying to launch the app on my G4 Powerbook running Leopard I only get “You can’t open the application “Evernote.app” because it is not supported on this architecture.”

  4. Eric Wolfe says:

    I get the same “not supported on this architecture” message on a Powermac G5 running 10.5.2.

  5. nomaded says:

    A Get Info of Evernote.app (build 26325) is showing that it’s an Intel binary only. That definitely explains why it’s not starting on my PowerBook G4. I’m running 10.5.2.

  6. Bryan says:

    Yeah, I can’t open on my PowerPC Leopard install either. Looks like you guys should maybe note that it’s not a UB and thus requires Leopard + Intel, or make a UB so that all of us can run it.

  7. Curt says:

    Must have been fixed because it works just fine on my Dual G5 (10.5.2) It is awesome!!

  8. Wyatt says:

    I cannot stress enough how strongly I want a beta invite.

  9. nomaded says:

    I can confirm that build 26468 is a Universal bundle and runs fine on my PowerBook G4 (10.5.2). Very nice.

  10. Ed says:

    Are there any plans to make a version for OSX 10.4 Tiger? Evernote works great on my MacBook, but I also use a G4 running Tiger.

  11. Peet McKimmie says:

    OK, now that the Mac users have something to play with, what about us Linux users?

    If you don’t have time to build us a client, how about just tweaking the existing Windows client to run under Wine? ;-)

  12. Alister Cameron // Blogologist says:

    I’m keen to use this and review it.

    I’ve been looking for this for ages.

    Other Mac note apps are good for this and that reason, but EverNote looks much closer to what I want.

    How do I get an invite?!

    Folks I’ve been playing with the Mac client and web interface for a couple of days and I just wanted to comment that the text recognition within images is the very best I’ve ever seen.

    I’ve been on a quest for several years now for the ultimate personal information management system and it seems that Evernote is on track for satisfying that.

    Thanks for letting me in the beta program and keep up the good work!

  14. Kyriacos says:

    Unbelievable. I gave up looking for a program like this a long time ago. Found some alternatives, and finally i decided i would eventually code something myself. Nothing this good ofcourse, without the picture recognition thing ofcourse.

    Anyway great work. I cant wait to get the invite.

    thanks for making it :)

  15. Graham Heyes says:

    I have been using EverNote on Windows at work for a long time. I have been hoping for years for a Mac version. Here it is and…

    It looks and behaves nothing like the EverNote that I’ve known and loved.

    Where is the big long roll of paper, stream of consciousness that is so much like the way I think? Please tell me that I’m missing something!

  16. Judi Sohn says:

    Waited for years for Evernote Mac and I can’t express how bummed I am that it’s Leopard only. Leopard has been out for a little over 6 months, some of us just aren’t ready to put all our eggs in its basket yet.

  17. Julian Hein says:

    This is really a great service. The only thing I am currently missing are Bullet Points.

  18. Joe says:

    Any chance of Evernote getting a little tie-in love with NetNewsWire - maybe as hooking up as an alternative to posting to delicious?

  19. foreverstar says:

    I am really annoyed that this doesn’t run on Tiger.

  20. randulo says:

    I vote Tiger, too. Please make a Tiger version, Tiger has a long life to go.

  21. Steve says:

    Aye. I, too, wish to see a version for Tiger. Leopard, not so much.

  22. Ernie Soffronoff says:

    @Joe:

    I just figured this out. I put a post up in the NetNewsWire forums at

  23. Jose Rivera says:

    I really like this application. It works well on a PC side however I have a Macbook with Tiger that I would like to sync also. Any plans on releasing a tiger version?

  24. Simon Pamies says:

    I also would love to see a Tiger version. Due to Leopard being bug-ridden-crash-prone I won’t switch before SnowLeopard.

  25. Pranav says:

    its a shame its not for tiger, i believe A LOT of mac users are still on tiger; and you guys are just missing a big market.

  26. Mary says:

    I am adding one more highly enthusiastic vote for a version that will run on Tiger (10.4.11). There are so many of us still wishing to stay with a more stable version of the OS, so please consider getting us all hooked on your wonderful program!

    Many of us have more than one machine, so even if a new purchase finds us having to use Leopard, our other machines will still be running Tiger.

    Thanks for seriously considering our request.

  27. Hoot says:

    Tiger. Please.

  28. Richfuel says:

    Add my vote for a Tiger version too plz.

  29. Don says:

    I am sure it won’t happen but a Tiger version would be awesome.

  30. Nate says:

    Tiger too. Don’t leave us in the dark. :(

  31. Gates says:

    Here’s another vote for a Tiger version or at least a response stating that it’s never going to happen so we can move on.

  32. Andrew Sinkov says:

    Hi folks. For those asking about a Tiger version of Evernote, here is the response which is available on our website’s Q&A section:

    Why is Evernote for Mac, OS X 10.5 (Leopard) only?

    We are using a set of programming tools and libraries from Apple that they recommend for new applications like ours. These allowed us to build things like the “thumbnail” note view in weeks instead of months. Unfortunately, Apple has not back-ported these new programming interfaces to Tiger (OS X 10.4), so our application only runs on Leopard.

    While we would like to support Tiger, it would take months of development effort to reproduce our current functionality on that platform. Since Leopard has been out for some time, we’re not currently planning to do this work to back-port to older versions of OS X.
