TinyNote vs Evernote

Evernote (and Yinxiang in China) is a cloud notebook: web clipper, attachments, account sync. It is good at collecting articles into one library.

TinyNote does not clip the web and does not require an account. Notes live in a folder you choose, as Markdown. It optimizes “find this command and copy it,” not “archive the whole page.”

When to use which

Evernote TinyNote
Data Cloud account Local files
Content Long notes, clippings, attachments Short blocks, one-click copy
Size Heavier client About 5–10 MB
Sync Vendor cloud Git (including hosts in China and official Git)
Typical use A research / clipping library Commands you paste every day

Keep long articles in Evernote if you already have them. Put the commands you paste daily in TinyNote.
