Battle of the Note Taking Apps – Google Keep vs. Evernote: The best is …

If you’re in the market for a note-taking app and are trying to decide between Google Keep and Evernote, defining exactly what you plan to do with the app is an important first step. Each app is designed for very different purposes:

  • Google Keep functions like a digital bulletin board covered in sticky notes. Its lightweight interface and minimal features make it perfect for capturing ideas and to-dos quickly and easily.
  • Evernote is more like a multi-subject notebook or digital filing cabinet. It’s better for writing detailed notes, saving a variety of types of multimedia, and building an archive of information you can reference well into the future.

Forget the new iPhones: Apple’s best product is now privacy

Apple makes its hundreds of billions every year by selling physical products that have a high markup. Facebook and Google, on the other hand, have a business model built around advertisers who want as much data about users as possible so they can better target them. This is why, for example, Google would never build the types of anti-tracking and privacy protections into the Android OS that Apple has done with MacOS and iOS. Google–and Facebook–aren’t going to cut off their access to all that black gold.
