Install the Evernote Web Clipper for Chrome

Gmail Clipping

Email accounts are much more than a history of conversations. They contain photos, research, files, purchase receipts, travel itineraries, and just about everything in between. The trouble with email is that with thousands of emails in an account, it become incredibly difficult to organize things and find what you need, which is precisely where Evernote excels.

Whenever you receive an important email, simply open it and click on the Web Clipper. The email, along with any attached files, will be saved to Evernote. The Web Clipper grabs only what it can see, so if you want to clip all parts of the conversation, be sure to expand the thread.

You’ll also be able to place it into your notebook of choice, assign any relevant tags and add a note.

Easy to Find

Once in Evernote, the full email conversation appears as a nicely formatted note, that’s tagged and organized however you like. The subject line becomes the note’s title and all the email addresses of recipients show up near the top. If you’re a Premium user, then we’ll also make any attached documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs searchable. Upgrade to Evernote Premium

Great for Work

Like many companies, we use Gmail here at Evernote. Using the Chrome Web Clipper helps us spend less time sifting through our email for a specific attachment or image, and more time working efficiently. If you use Evernote at the office too, take a look at Evernote Business.

Create a Reminder by tapping on the alarm clock at the bottom of a note, then, optionally, choose a due date. Evernote will alert you about upcoming Reminder with notifications, emails and a badge on the app tile.

Once a Reminder is set, that note will appear at the top of you note list. You can long tap on a Reminder to change its order in the list. When you complete the task, check it off and move on to the next one.

Reminders

Adding a Reminder is as simple as tapping on the alarm clock icon in a note. Once you’ve created a Reminder, you can optionally add a due date using our beautifully-designed date selector. By adding a due date, you will receive notifications both on your device and via email (if you like) to keep your work on track. You can disable the email digests from the Reminders section in Settings.

Pinning and To-Dos
All Reminders are pinned to the top of the note list, tag list and search results. If you want to move a Reminder up or down in the list, just long-press on it. When you’ve completed your task, check it off and get started on the next one.

Like everything we do, Reminders sync across several versions of Evernote, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Evernote Web.

Shared and Business Notebook Support
Reminders are not only great for staying on top of what’s important in your account, they also keep you updated on projects that you’re working on with others. Whenever you view a Shared Notebook or Business Notebook, you can choose to subscribe to that notebook’s Reminders. You’ll be notified about due dates for those notes just as you would for your own.

To quickly subscribe to multiple shared notebooks, you can tap on the more dots at the bottom of the notebook list.

And More…

For this update, we also made a number of other nice enhancements to the app:

• Improved copy and paste in note view
• Corrected photo order in multi-shot camera
• Improved shortcuts functionality
• Improved Japanese support

We’re really excited to bring this great new capability to Evernote. Try Reminders for project planning, travel, gift giving, and more. It’s dramatically expanded the way we use Evernote and we hope it does the same for you. Let us know what you think.

• In-app and email Alarms
• Quick note based to-do lists
• Pinning notes to the top of your note list

The Reminders feature is currently available on Evernote for Mac, iOS and Evernote Web.

How Reminders Work

Reminders are incredibly easy to use. You can add a Reminder to a note by simply tapping on the alarm clock icon located at the top of the note on Mac and Web, and at the bottom of the note on iPhone and iPad. If you like, set a date and time for when this note must be completed.

You’ll get an in-app alarm and, optionally, an email the day that a Reminder is due. Once set, you’ll see the note title appear in the new Reminder section at the top of the note list. You can change the order of Reminders simply by dragging them around. When you complete your task, tap on the check or, on iOS, swipe to remove the Reminder from the list.

Like most things in Evernote, Reminders sync across all versions of the app that support the new feature.

Reminders and Notebooks

To keep your Reminders nicely organized, we’ve made them notebook-based. Whenever you add a Reminder to a note, it will appear in the Reminder section within that notebook. This is a perfect way to keep various projects separated. Of course, if you want to see them all in one place, simply go to the All Notes view.

Shared Reminders
By associating Reminders with notebooks, we’re able to do some really cool stuff. First, since Reminders show up at the top of a given notebook, they can be used as a handy way to highlight the most important notes in that notebook—it’s like creating a quick table of contents for your visitors. In addition, anyone who has access to your notebook is able to subscribe to be notified when notes come due. This way the entire team will stay informed about group projects and tasks.

Great for Business
All of these features are also available to our Evernote Business users, so that you’re not just sharing your team’s knowledge, but also moving your projects forward.

4 Ways to Use Reminders Right Now

We’ve been testing Reminders for a few weeks now. Here are some of the great things to try.

Birthday gifts
Evernote has always been a great way to clip gift ideas. Create a notebook called Gift ideas, and add notes containing gifts for your friends and family. Add a Reminder to each note set to a week before the person’s birthday. Now you’ll know what to get and when to get it.

Project planning
At Evernote, we use Reminders to plan all of our video projects. We’ve set up a shared notebook with the team called Video Projects. In it, we have a running list of all ongoing projects and their completion dates. If something needs to be reprioritized, we drag it to the top of the list. Once a project is completed, it’s marked as done and we’re on to the next one.

Packing right
You’ll never forget your toothbrush again. Create your packing list note and set a Reminder to go off a few hours before the trip. Because Reminders are associated with notes, you’ll not only be notified to check your packing list, but you’ll also see the entire thing. If you have everything you need, mark the note as done.

Doctors orders
Before heading off to the doctor’s office for a checkup, create a note with questions that you want to be sure to cover. Set a Reminder for the time of the appointment and you won’t miss a thing. Repeat this the next time you have an appointment so that you have a running history of past questions and answers.

Only The Beginning

It’s not often that we get to unveil such a highly-requested, powerful feature, which is why we’re so excited to hear your reaction. We’re far from finished. We have big plans to expand the functionality, and to bring it to more platforms in the very (very) near future. Go on, create some reminders and let us know what you think.

Our current implementation focuses on two actions. First, you’ll be able to quickly capture a photo or short video and send it to your Evernote account from the Google Glass sharing menu. Second, you can choose a note from Evernote Web and send it directly into the Glass Timeline so that you have it available right in your field of view when you need it.

The Future

We believe that wearables are the next frontier in consumer technology and we’re hard at work building the Evernote for our wearable technology future. Today, you’re getting a glimpse of simple and useful ways that Evernote can be used with Google Glass. This is only the beginning.

Smarter Notebook Titles

With this update, Penultimate gets smarter. We’ve added notebook title suggestions based on your location and calendar events. In most cases, these titles will be exactly what you need in order to find the notes later. To change a title, simply tap on it and start typing. We’ve also made notebook covers more helpful. They now display the name of the location where you last made edits, which gives you useful context about the notebook at a glance.

The first time you create a new notebook in Penultimate, you’ll be asked to give the app access to your iPad’s calendar and location information. It’s important to note that this information is only used to title the notebooks.

Sync When You Need It

Penultimate users asked for more control over Evernote sync and now they have it. Go to the app’s account section, then tap on your user name to view Sync option. One of the options you’ll see is Pause Syncing. When you pause, the app will stop syncing with Evernote until you un-pause. This is a great option if you’re traveling or want to conserve your mobile data usage.

For additional control, this update includes the option to sync your notes only when your iPad is on a wifi network.

New Premium features!

An Evernote Premium subscription unlocks great features across the entire collection of Evernote apps. With this update, Penultimate gets in on the action. We’ve added two Penultimate-specific Premium features:

Unlimited Access to the Paper Shop
Penultimate comes with three paper styles: lined, graph and plain. If you want more, they’re in the Paper Shop. For Free users, these styles are available for individual purchase ranging from $.99 to $2.99, but if you’re a Premium subscriber, you’ll get unlimited access to all seven collections. To find the Paper Shop, open a notebook and tap on the graph paper icon at the top of the page, then select the Paper Shop.

Passcode Lock
If you share your iPad with others, you can now lock the Penultimate app with a passcode. Once you upgrade to Premium, you’ll see this option show up in the account section of the app. The passcode will be required every time you open the app.

More Premium features
In addition to these two features, Premium users can create more and larger notebooks, have access to faster support, and get quicker processing of their handwritten notes for search. Go Premium today »

We’ve also made the app more stable and reliable than ever and we added the ability to sign out to switch between users. Try it and let us know what you think.

Hello Connect

Evernote Hello for Android now comes with an innovative way to instantly meet a group of people. It’s called Hello Connect and it uses audio tones to identify other nearby Hello users and join everyone together. Have everyone in your group tap the main screen plus button, then choose Use Hello Connect. Once connected, you’ll have everyone’s photos, contact info and any other information that they have in their Hello profiles.

If you’re in a loud environment or would prefer not to use the audio tones, you can always switch to manual mode and tell everyone around you the four digit Hello Connect code. Everyone punches in the code on their phones, and you’re connected.

Hello Connect is available on both Android and iPhone, and will work across devices.

Facebook

Evernote Hello lets you sign into your LinkedIn and (now) Facebook accounts. We recommend that you do this. It’ll make completing your profile faster and also pull in information about the people you meet as soon as you enter their email address.

To connect to Facebook and LinkedIn, tap the Hello icon in the top left corner of the app, then select Social Networks.

Sync with Google Contacts

To make it easier to keep your contacts up-to-date, Evernote Hello now lets you choose to save all the people you meet to your Google Contacts. This will ensure that you’ll be able to easily connect with everyone at any time.

And more

In addition to everything above, this update also adds a redesigned layout for Hello Notes in Evernote and lots of stability improvements. Let us know what you think.

PDF Annotation

Starting to use the new PDF features is as simple as you’d expect. Open a single or multi-page PDF in Skitch or drag it right onto the app. Then, annotate it with shapes, arrows and text. Point out items that need a change, use the Highlighter to draw attention to important sections and add text to give your recipient instructions on next steps. Navigate to any part of the PDF using the new drawer along the edge of the app. Once you’re done, share the document back. This is where the real magic begins.

The Skitch Summary

There’s a real sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing that the people you’re working with fully understand your thoughts. When you share an annotated multi-page PDF, Skitch lets you add a new first page to that document. This page is made up of previews of each piece of feedback contained in the PDF. Click on one and you’re taken to the annotation. This summary makes it a snap for your recipient to scan over all of your feedback, understand it, and take action without needing to go beyond the first page.

As anyone that’s found themselves on the receiving end of feedback knows, it’s always incredibly helpful to get a sense of your reader’s thought and how many changes they’re looking for before diving in. That’s the second part of the Skitch Summary. When you email an annotated PDF to someone or create a public link, the viewer will first see a display of the quantity and type of annotations in the document.

Sharing the PDF

Sharing a Skitch Summary couldn’t be easier. You can include a summary when you choose to email your PDF with the share button. In addition, on Skitch for Mac you can attach a summary when exporting or by selecting PDF with Summary in the Drag Me bar, then dragging it straight onto your desktop or into other apps. It’s that easy to share rich, detailed feedback on PDF documents.

Evernote Premium

Anyone with an Evernote account gets complimentary access to a 30-day preview of PDF annotation and the Skitch Summary. It’s easy to create an Evernote account and get started using PDF annotation. Evernote Premium users get full access to these features. Upgrade to Evernote Premium »

Fast Feedback with new Stamps

Stamps are an all-new annotation tool in Skitch 2.5 that lets you communicate your ideas incredibly quickly with simple shapes that stand out. Place a stamp to quickly indicate that you like something, hate it, or need a deeper explanation. When it’s perfect, stamp it with a Skitch heart.

After you place each stamp, you can also add a little more detail to your feedback with a pointer and a label. To add a pointer to any stamp, just click or tap on the (+). The pointer will display, and you can now move the blue dot to position it anywhere around the Stamp. Adding labels to stamps is as simple as clicking the “a” symbol. Each stamp comes with a standard label, but if you’d like to change it, just start typing your own text (only a few words).

Plain text options

Skitch’s text annotations have always boldly stood out from the background. Now, in addition to our annotation text, Skitch has a Plain Text styling so you can keep it simple while filling out forms and other online documents.

To switch to Plain Text, compose your annotation as you normally would by clicking or tapping on the “a” icon in the sidebar and typing. Then, when you select the text box a second time, a toggle will appear that allows you to switch to Plain Text. You can also switch to Plain Text in the style menu at any time.

One thing to note is that we don’t include a Skitch Summary by default when you use Plain Text -this is because we expect that you will most often use the feature to fill out forms. If you would still like to include a summary, be sure to choose this option when you are sharing the PDF.

Handy Resources

The first time you open the app, you’ll notice new Tool Tips popping into your Skitch window, providing more information about new features in this version. The tips also contain links to our Product Guide in case you would like to learn more about these features, or any other feature in Skitch.

Business Card Scanning

The business card scanning feature in Evernote Hello is really great. It’s a Premium feature, but we’ve decided to extend our preview for Free users. It makes adding people to Hello as simple as snapping a photo. Plus, if you connect the app to LinkedIn and Facebook, we’ll build rich profiles automatically. Learn more about business scanning with Evernote Hello.

Flash controls
In our tests, we’ve found that enabling the flash is the best option for consistent business card photos. There are cases, especially with glossy cards, where the flash ends up interfering with our ability to recognize the text. That’s why we added the iPhone’s familiar flash controls to the camera. If you’re snapping a glossy card, you can turn the flash off—just try to be under good lighting conditions.

Better support for iPhone 4
We’ve made a number of improvements and adjustments to the app to make sure that our iPhone 4 users have a great business card scanning experience. Give it shot.

New Premium Feature: Passcode Lock

For an extra level of security, Premium users can enable a passcode lock, which will display whenever the you launch the app. To set the lock, go to My Profile and swipe to the bottom of the screen.

Redesigned Home Screen

When you launch Evernote, you often have a purpose in mind: you’re either looking to create a note or find an existing one. That’s why we’re excited about the redesigned Home Screen, which gives you quick access to everything you need, including note creation, search and shortcuts (more on shortcuts later). Plus, you can now get to your account information by tapping on your username at the top of the screen. With this new design, everything just feels faster and more accessible.

Shortcuts

Shortcuts let you jump to any note, notebook or tag that you access frequently. To create a shortcut, simply long tap on any of those items. The shortcut will then appear on the Home Screen. One very cool aspect of shortcuts is that they sync across platforms. Today, shortcuts are available on Mac, Android and Windows Phone. Any shortcuts that you create on one platform will also appear on the others.

Better Tags

In addition to the Home Screen, we also redesigned the Tag List. It’s now significantly more compact, allowing you to see more tags per screen. But that’s not all. For avid taggers, Evernote for Windows Phone now also has a quick way for you to jump to tags by letter. Rather than having to scroll, simply tap on a green letter header to display an alphabetical grid.

Premium Feature: Document Search

We’re excited to bring a new Premium feature to our Windows Phone users: Document Search. Document Search indexes any attached Microsoft Office and iWork files so that documents, spreadsheets and presentations show up in your search results giving you more ways to find exactly what you need.

Notebook Stacks

Notebook Stacks are a way to visually group similar notebooks. In your notebook list, you can now open and close stacks by tapping on them, and view all the notes in a given stack with a long tap on the stack name.

Checkboxes!

Evernote for Windows Phone now supports creating and editing checkboxes. To create a list containing checkboxes, tap on checkbox icon at the bottom of the note editor. In addition to creating checkboxes, you can also check and uncheck existing checkboxes when you’re in a note.

And more

This is a major update to our Windows Phone version. We’ve added lots of features, redesigned various parts of the app and made everything smoother, faster and more responsive. Take a look and let us know what you think.
