# An Evernote alternative that imports your notes

Export each notebook from the Evernote app on a Mac or Windows computer and drop the files in. Notebooks become folders, and text, tables, images, tags and dates come across.

## At a glance

- **Try it:** Import one notebook in your browser, with no account.
- **Arrives as:** Each note as its own thread in a folder, with its date, tags and files.
- **Your export:** Read in your browser. With Sync on, the imported notes then sync to your account.
- **Leaving:** Export every note as Markdown or Evernote files, on every plan.
- **Plan:** Free · Plus adds Sync. Pro adds AI, sharing and full connections.

## Which one fits you

### Stay with Evernote if

- you save web pages all day with the Web Clipper;
- you search inside PDFs and images;
- you keep more than 20,000 notes, or browse thousands of them as one library;
- you want tasks, a calendar and AI inside your notes app.

### Try ThreadPage if

- you hit the Free plan’s limit of 50 notes and one notebook;
- you keep a few long projects and want each one’s notes in date order;
- you want your notes in files you can take with you on any plan;
- you’d rather open a browser and write than install an app.

## What comes across from Evernote

| | In ThreadPage |
|---|---|
| A notebook | A folder |
| A note | A thread with one note, on the note’s own date |
| Text, formatting, checklists, tables | Come across in the note |
| Images and files | Come across in the note |
| Tags | #tags at the end of the note |
| A note’s source address | Comes across |
| Encrypted text | Marked where it was |
| Stacks, reminders, note history | Not imported |

When the import finishes, **What changed** lists every change and every note or file it left out, with the reason. [Import from Evernote](https://thread.page/help/import/evernote.md)

## Each note becomes its own thread in a folder

A notebook of 200 notes arrives as a folder of 200 threads, each holding the note you wrote. The notes stay as you wrote them, and you find them with search and folders.

The change comes afterwards: when you work on a project again, add a dated note to its thread instead of editing the old one. Its last note then tells you where you stopped.

## A thread, over time

Your workspace starts empty.

## Where your notes live

On Free, imported notes and files stay in the browser you import them into, and that browser decides how much space they get. Text always comes across. A file that doesn’t fit isn’t imported, and the import names it.

With Plus or Pro and Sync on, your notes and files reach your account and your other devices. Plus includes 1 GB for files; Pro includes 10 GB. [Storage & backups](https://thread.page/help/storage.md)

## Try one notebook first

You don’t need an account. Export one notebook as ENEX, open Settings → Import & export → Import notes in ThreadPage and choose the file. It goes into a new folder, and Undo import moves all of it to Trash.

## Questions

### Can I export from Evernote on my phone or in a browser?

No. Evernote Web and the phone apps can’t export, so you need the Evernote app on a Mac or Windows computer.

### Do my notes keep their dates?

Yes. Each note keeps its real date and sits in date order in ThreadPage.

### Can I import the same notebook again?

Yes. ThreadPage skips the notes that haven’t changed, and a changed note comes as a new copy in a new folder. Nothing you edited is overwritten.

### Can I go back to Evernote?

Yes. ThreadPage exports your notes as Evernote files (.enex) or Markdown on every plan. [Export your notes](https://thread.page/help/export.md)

### Does ThreadPage have a web clipper?

No. Paste what you want to keep into a note, with its link.

## Limits

- One browser holds up to 20,000 notes, or 5,000 on an iPhone or iPad, on every plan. An import that would pass that doesn’t start.
- Search finds a file by its name, not by the text inside it.
- On Free, your notes stay in one browser, and clearing its site data removes them, so export a backup now and then.
- ThreadPage has no end-to-end encryption, and it can’t read text you encrypted in Evernote.

Evernote, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android, Apple, and Google are the names of their owners. ThreadPage is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

## Start with one thread.
