As long as I remembered to sync Evernote on my iPhone before leaving the house each morning, I had a constantly up-to-date guidebook tailored to our plans for that day. If I used my computer to find a new activity or a fresh set of restaurant options, I added that to my notebook too if I looked up a bus route, I took a screen shot of the results using Skitch, then dragged it into Evernote, too.

I used Evernote’s web clipper to save the results of my research into an Evernote notebook called Paris, and I used Evernote’s settings on my iPhone to select the “Paris” notebook for offline use. Research: When I wrote about compiling a guidebook for our trip to Paris, here’s how I described using Evernote and Skitch together:īefore leaving home, I did lots of research on topics like the best kids’ attractions in Paris, the best places to eat with kids, and the best restaurants in the neighborhood where we were staying.And I also use Skitch in just about every blog post that includes an illustration: uploading images to Skitch is the single fastest way for me to get an image onto a server, so even if I’m using a stock photo from my hard drive, I copy it into Skitch so I can quickly resize it and get it online, with an URL I can drop into my post. Blogging: I draft all my blog posts in Evernote, and while I usually cut and paste my text from Evernote into a blog post, I’ve been experimenting with the EverPress plugin, which lets me designate a blog drafts folder in Evernote, and automatically uploads any note in the that folder directly to my WordPress blog, where it’s held for further revisions and publication.I already use Skitch and Evernote together in a whole bunch of ways, including: They have been shacked up together in my “favourites” launcher for ages, but I’m so glad that they’ve decided to make their relationship official. (If you’re unfamiliar with these two awesome tools, check out my intro to Evernote or my case for Skitch. You know how happy you feel when you find out that two of your good friends have hooked up and are now a couple? That’s how I felt yesterday when I heard that note-taking and information management powerhouse Evernote had acquired screen capture and image uploader Skitch.
