EverFree - Open Source Note Taking

A free, open-source alternative to Evernote that lets users take notes, sync across devices, and search notes without paying $100/year. Targets users frustrated with Evernote's pricing who want to own their data.

Evernote's decline is well-documented — they've raised prices, cut features from free tiers, and lost significant user trust, which has driven real migration activity toward Obsidian, Notion, and Logseq over the past few years. The open-source note-taking space already has serious incumbents: Joplin and Standard Notes both offer free, self-hostable alternatives with active communities, meaning the "frustrated Evernote user" segment is already being served. Revenue band is listed as unknown for good reason — open-source productivity tools monetize poorly; the typical paths (hosted plans, premium features, donations) rarely exceed low five figures annually unless there's a strong brand or enterprise angle. The most likely failure mode is building something technically sound that nobody discovers, because SEO and distribution for yet another note-taking app are brutally competitive and "open source" alone doesn't drive acquisition.
