Evernote for Mac has arrived! Extra bonus: Safari 3 support.
March 11th, 2008
We 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?
March 11th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Yes, but as we should have pointed out - it requires Leopard.
March 11th, 2008 at 8:55 am
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.”
March 11th, 2008 at 9:00 am
I get the same “not supported on this architecture” message on a Powermac G5 running 10.5.2.
March 11th, 2008 at 10:07 am
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.
March 11th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
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.
March 11th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Must have been fixed because it works just fine on my Dual G5 (10.5.2) It is awesome!!
March 12th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I cannot stress enough how strongly I want a beta invite.
March 12th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
I can confirm that build 26468 is a Universal bundle and runs fine on my PowerBook G4 (10.5.2). Very nice.
March 12th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
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.
March 14th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
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?
March 15th, 2008 at 5:34 am
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!

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

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!
March 21st, 2008 at 10:46 am
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.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:31 am
This is really a great service. The only thing I am currently missing are Bullet Points.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:56 am
Any chance of Evernote getting a little tie-in love with NetNewsWire - maybe as hooking up as an alternative to posting to delicious?
April 9th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
I am really annoyed that this doesn’t run on Tiger.
April 17th, 2008 at 12:31 am
I vote Tiger, too. Please make a Tiger version, Tiger has a long life to go.
May 14th, 2008 at 5:38 am
Aye. I, too, wish to see a version for Tiger. Leopard, not so much.
June 26th, 2008 at 11:31 am
@Joe:
I just figured this out. I put a post up in the NetNewsWire forums at

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?
July 2nd, 2008 at 6:53 am
I also would love to see a Tiger version. Due to Leopard being bug-ridden-crash-prone I won’t switch before SnowLeopard.

July 16th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
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.
July 19th, 2008 at 5:44 am
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.
July 27th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Tiger. Please.
August 4th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Add my vote for a Tiger version too plz.
August 5th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
I am sure it won’t happen but a Tiger version would be awesome.
August 11th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Tiger too. Don’t leave us in the dark.
August 12th, 2008 at 7:00 am
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.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
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.
August 12th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Sorry to hear that… I was really looking forward to this app, especially with the iPhone integration. Unfortunately I have some apps that don’t work with Leopard so I won’t be switching any time soon.
AAAhhhhhh… I’ll have to keep looking.
August 18th, 2008 at 1:35 am
Andrew,
Would you please email us (everyone wanting 10.4 support) with contact info for whoever decided not to back-port the tools you need.
Then we can contact Apple and petition them.
Also a less functional version of Evernote would be a lot better than anything else. You would even not have to support it, just tell people if they want something better, buy a machine that can run 10.5
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I’m putting in my vote for a version of Evernote to work with Tiger.
September 22nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
TIGER wtf?!
September 26th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Please make a Tiger client for Mac!
September 28th, 2008 at 5:43 am
What happens with us who still find Leopard much to unstable and unworthy of using over Tiger? Are you really planning to lose all of us Mac OS X 10.4 users? Isn’t it an unintelligent (sub-marketing) move? I mean, who’s running your PR? Or didn’t you really research on your client base and never realised that only 23% of us all (the fore runners, I must say…) are into the highly unstable version of MAC OS 10.5.
It takes only some time in your lunch break to check Apple’s security update sessions and see what we’re talking about here. Tiger has never ever been this much upgraded as Leopard.
Snow Leopard will be grand, for certain (we’ve seen it). But give me a break… Well, unless you’re really planning on drawing in forgetfulness mud so quick you won’t even notice. Anyway… Wake up lads!
October 1st, 2008 at 8:08 pm
And by the way, I read something like this above…
I’ve got two macbook air unities and a G5 so, like MANY others, we DO have decent equipement. We just don’t like Leopard that much. Get it now?
October 1st, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I’d also like to see a Tiger version of Evernote–my Macbook has a defective DVD drive and is out of warranty, thus disabling my ability to upgrade to Leopard, even if I wanted to. Even a features-disabled version of Evernote would be better than nothing!
I like the web client but I honestly can’t use it at all times due to connectivity issues. It’s a spectacular product and I wish I could rely on it on my computer as well… Even if some of the features that the libraries are not available for do not work…
October 12th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
please 10.4.x support!!
October 15th, 2008 at 3:23 am
Really cool app, works just the way I want it too. I just wish there was a Tiger version.
November 1st, 2008 at 3:50 am
re: Tiger
Another workaround is to use a application specific browser like Mozilla Prism to create an Evernote “application” in your dock.
I’m using it right now and its great. Evernote gets its own dock icon, window and seperate process.
