Evernotify.Me is Your Ultimate Evernote Notification App

3 min read,

I don’t know about you, but personally, I can get really addicted to apps. If the application or a service is smart, helps me manage my time, workflow or is helping me in any other way, and if that service is a startup – I’ll gladly pay for it because I’ll use it every day and I know that the team behind it will work their best to get it even better.

That’s why I prefer startups over large corporate applications. Take Evernote and one of its rival, Microsoft’s OneNote. They might be similar, however, do you feel they’re listening to your suggestion over at Redmond? Would they accept and encourage small developers to build third-party applications on top of their service? Not likely. But Evernote would and Evernotify.Me is one such addition.

Evernote Meets Notifications

Evernote is a great organizing tool and I use it to remember everything – I even write my blogposts in it. It’s a great way to keep your stuff organized, however, it has a weak point – notifications. You can’t set a to-do in it and get Evernote to notify you about that. That’s where Evernotify.Me steps in.

Evernotify.Me is a free web service which will scan your Evernote notes (not all of them) and send you an e-mail for your to-do’s and IOU’s. It’s really simple; you’ll have to connect your Evernote account with your Evernotify.Me profile and create a note. Tag the note with “Evernotify” and write down several to-do tasks. Evernotify.Me will automatically upload those tasks and you’ll be able to see them in a nice web interface. Check out how it works:

Of course, you can filter your items by to-do’s, loans or borrows and Evernotify.Me will highlight each item with its co-responding color.

You Forgot Something?

However, the purpose of Evernotify.Me isn’t just to sort your to-do’s. It will send those to-do’s to your email inbox – so you won’t forget them! When the task is complete, head over to your Evernote note and add the word “done” to the task you’ve just finished, sync it and that’s it.

That’s probably one of the downsides of Evernotify.Me – it has some learning curve, you’ll have to get used to checking the tasks by adding words, which isn’t very intuitive. However, maybe Evernotify.Me and Evernote make a deal and, in some future version, Evernote implements Evernotify.Me into its own client application. Until then, head over to Evernotify.Me and try it out!
