It’s the one year anniversary of our launch (actually, it was Saturday, but companies aren’t allowed to have birthdays on the weekend). We’ve had a pretty precocious first year: 770,000 users and 25 million notes! It took us over two months to reach our first million notes, and now we’re adding a million notes every week.
We’re particularly excited about our API partners. Since launching our API last October, over 230 third-party developers have signed up to create Evernote-enabled apps. We’ve already seen great results from Zengobi, Eye-Fi, Tarpipe and Pelotonics, and a lot more will be launching soon. (At least one will be launching very soon!)
We created Evernote to give everyone a second brain. One year in, and so far so good. Wait till you see what we’re up to by the time we’re two!
Cake time.

Hello,
If all users do this, this would cause 150G of your storage to be used, just for this picture

Mathieu,
What kind of engineers do you think we are?
Our servers detect and optimize for storage of identical binary resources, so only one copy of that picture would be stored per server, regardless of how many people add it to their account.
At least that’s the theory… I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Great going! Evernote has been great. I have also been using it from almost a year (was in the private beta).
Hope to see more… Tip: Evernote Storage. Free 1 GB storage for your documents/files. Pay for more storage.
It would be great like Dropbox!

Evernote is almost my most favorite software now and will always be.

You guys have been brilliant in improving the usability and adding features on Evernote. Putting in technology that actually works, a web app I use everyday (for saving notes).
Happy Birthday and many great years from the team!

Happy Birthday from Germany, as a beta user I still love it, excellent work.

Thank you Evernote for saving my head.
There was too much stored up there, to much coming in and twirling about, those bloody thoughts almost gave me a blood clot they were so jam packed together – I could have died; you saved my head.
Happy Birthday, many happy returns.
Mario
Felicidades!
I wish you or someone else do a Linux Version(Ubuntu!), rigth now I’m using evernote webpage (Mozilla Prism) or Evernote App via Wine.
Artem

Happy Birthday Evernote! I can’t remember how I functioned without you. I find new ways to use Evernote everyday.

Happy Birthday and eaven New Year of your good prodacts
Rob
Happy Birthday!
By the way, a killer app for me as you guys build out your file sync capabilities would be to have a file explorer type interface into to Evernote. In other words, I’d like to map a drive to evernote to drag/drop, and open those files the way we already do. Anyway, happy birthday again!
Sascha
Oh Happy Birthday

I can’t believe Evernote has grown up so fast. Even though I am not a parent, I’ve been with you from the start and I kind of feel like I’m that crazy uncle, who makes family guests feel mildly uncomfortable at parties.
Lukas
And Happy Birthday.

С Днем Рожденья!!!

Happy Birthday! My husband uses EN daily and tells everyone (including me) about it! He was super happy when it first came out & loves all the updates! Good job because I married a very picky programmer!
barstep
Is it only a year – I can’t imagine life without Evernote. It lives on three Macs and an iPhone – and it just works – and gets better. Thanks for all the development and success because without it, it wouldn’t be here and nor would I.
Arnd
Gefeliciteerd!
(Congrats)

Happy Birthday!

Amazing app, don’t know what I’d do without you! Happy Born-Day!
