Evernote for Mac Updated With New Premium Related Notes and Usability Improvements

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov

Last week, we released a number of updates that added Evernote Business support to our apps. Those same updates also included some great non-business features. In our first Mac update since launching the beautiful Evernote 5, we added one new Premium feature and a couple of much-requested improvements.

Premium feature: Related Notes
We’re always looking for exciting ways to help you rediscover the content and memories stored inside of your Evernote account. This update adds a new Premium feature that does just that. As soon as you start creating or viewing a note, Evernote checks to see if there are any notes in your account that relate to what you’ve written and displays these Related Notes below the note area. The more you type, the more refined the Related Notes will be.

If you have a long note, you’ll see a little elephant popup appear in the lower right corner of the note area. This popup indicates that there are Related Notes waiting for you when you scroll to the bottom of the note.

For Evernote Business users, we also display notes from Business Notebooks that you have access to, making the Related Notes section a combination of your notes and those from your team.

More great updates
We also added a few much-requested features:

  • Drag-and-drop notes onto Notebooks and Tags in the sidebar
  • New option to view note counts in the left panel
  • Trash button in the Note Editor
  • Back and Forward buttons to let you return to recently-viewed notes

There’s lots more to come. Let us know what you think.

    I’d love it if ‘related notes’ was an option. Keeping the screen free of visual noise and distraction is really important to me. I’m finding they’re nearly always irrelevant, so I’d rather have them not there!

    I posted a message asking for ‘related notes’ to be an option (like another commenter below).. then found that it _is_ an option. (Preferences->General->Show related notes). Excellent.

    To disable Related Notes, click the Evernote menu then go to Preferences > General and uncheck the ‘Show Related Notes’ button

      Thank you so much, Amuramoto for letting us know about this. It honestly drove me nuts and totally distracted from writing new notes. I use Evernote ALL THE TIME and I make good usage of tags and don’t need a “related notes” feature. Thank you, this was a big help :)
