Evernote has made it imposible to export, hopefully you guys fixed that and i can export evernote content to yours
Hi Product Hunt. I'm Spicer, founder of Cloudmanic Labs. We've been building and running software for a little over twenty years, and Harbor is built to run for the next twenty.The short story: I used Evernote for more than a decade. Scanned mail, the kids' report cards, recordings of meetings, fifteen years of notes. Then it was sold, the price roughly doubled, the free plan shrank to fifty notes, and getting my own data out got harder.To be fair to them, the app is fine. We counted Evernote's 500 most recent US App Store reviews and published the full breakdown. Of the negative ones, 9% mention a bug, crash or sync problem. 54% are about price. The product got better while the deal got worse. That's the thing Harbor is built to fix.What it is: a private second brain. Notes, plus scanned documents, PDFs, photos and recordings, all in one place and all searchable. Search reads the words inside photos and scanned PDFs, including handwriting. Recordings become transcripts.What's different:• Native everywhere. Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, Android, the web, and a CLI. No Electron. Works offline.• One-step Evernote import. Notebooks, tags, checklists, attachments, web clips.• You can leave with everything. Full export on every plan (HTML, Markdown, ENEX), plus an open API, a CLI and an MCP server.• Bring your own AI. There's no built-in assistant. Connect the ChatGPT or Claude you already pay for and let it search and organize your notes.• Optional encryption, per note or per notebook. Your keys, not ours.• The price is in writing. One plan, $9.99/mo or $99/yr, free to start. No increase for three years after you subscribe, then capped at 10% a year. Stop paying and your account goes read-only, never deleted. That promise is written into every new account as a note, dated the day you joined.What it isn't: for teams. No shared workspaces, no admin console, no enterprise tier coming. It's personal, on purpose.The trade-off people ask about most: when you encrypt a note we genuinely can't read it, which means we can't search inside it or OCR it either. So you encrypt the tax returns and the medical records and leave the rest fully searchable. It's a choice, not a default.I'll be here all day. Ask the hard ones.
