Evernote
note-taking and task-management application developed by the Evernote Corporation
Evernote is a note-taking and task-management application developed by the Evernote Corporation. Evernote was founded in 2007 by Russian entrepreneur Stepan Pachikov. The company released the first public version of the Evernote web application on June 24, 2008. The service gained popularity for its ability to synchronize notes across multiple devices and platforms, allowing users to capture and organize information such as text, images, and web content.
History
In October 2010, Evernote raised $20 million in funding led by Sequoia Capital, DoCoMo Capital, Troika Dialog and Morgenthaler Ventures as the service continued to expand its user base. The funding round came as the company saw a large amount of growth since its launch in 2008.
In 2012, Evernote launched Evernote Business, a version of the service for teams that enabled users to share notes and collaborate within an organization.
Also in 2012, Evernote had launched its China based service under the name, Yinxiang Biji (Chinese: 印象笔记) which in June 2018 transitioned into a company with its own full autonomy.
Evernote was acquired by the Italian technology company Bending Spoons in November 2022.
Usage
Evernote is used for creating and managing textual notes, with the ability to embed photos, audio, and saved web content.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Evernote” as note-taking and task-management application developed by the Evernote Corporation. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as note-taking and task-management application developed by the Evernote Corporation. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q430526. VIAF identifies the subject as 232040209. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
