Evernote 

"Remember Everything"

Summary

Evernote is an application designed for note-taking and documenting. Its primary focus is to collect, organize and retrieve information. The types of notes Evernote captures are formatted text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, a handwritten note or even a file attachment. Organization is one of Evernote's main benefits as you can sort all your files in folders, then tag, annotate, edit, export, search and comment on them. The data that you have currently saved will be secure on your account as long as you want to make use of it, thus retrieving important data is more relaxing. Evernote is an effective clipping and organizing tool.
