I've actually had a note (in Evernote) for a while now to "find replacement for Evernote or write my own."

Every time they release a new version I see item after item that's of no interest to me. I really just want a simple place to store to-do lists, notes, etc. and have it available on every machine and phone I use.

They do a lot more than that now, but yet you still can't edit a to-do list with checkboxes on the iPhone!



I'm working on a (hopefully) potential solution to this right now. It may take me months upon months to complete, but if I ever finish it, I think you'll be somewhat impressed.


Doesn't Remember the Milk do exactly what you want? (not a user myself, but a friend is and he likes it a lot)


Check out SimpleNote.


Especially with Notational Velocity which is a joy to use and OSS.

At the moment, I think you'll probably have to use two different programs for that. I've yet to find a program that does a good job for todo lists, notes, and has a good mobile apps. So far the best combo I've found is Evernote for notes, RTM for lists.


Can't you just use Google Task for it? I do. And I don't need any evernote or whatever. I can edit from web or phone.
