Evernote has grown from a simple note-taking application to a reliable tool that connects with many other productivity apps. It almost becomes hard to keep up with the new integrations. When you mix the features of Evernote with the compatibility of apps you use every day, you can easily create a complete system of productivity.

We'll show you what the various Evernote tools, apps, and browser extensions can do for you.

1. Connect to the Tools

Email

Connecting your email application to Evernote can save you time, hassle, and energy easily. Some email apps like CloudMagic Email and Boxer provide simple connections for mobile devices that can keep you productive on the go.

By connecting your email to Evernote, you can turn messages into notes with just a tap. With CloudMagic Email, for example, you can choose a notebook, add tags, and change the name of the note. With Boxer, you can just hit the Evernote button, choose the notebook, and the email will be saved immediately, with no further action required.

Whether you are saving emails for an important follow-up later or for a crucial reference, the integration of Evernote and email applications can save you.

Tasks

Another wonderful way to use Evernote is with your to-do lists. Even though the application offers reminders and notifications, connecting it with apps like Nozbe and Swipes can give you even more power to get things done.

You can take advantage of features such as creating Evernote notes and reminders with Nozbe. If you like Swipes, you can tag notes, sync steps from lists, and attach notes to tasks, all with simple swipes.

For those who take advantage of apps like Nozbe and Swipes, the integration with Evernote is a definite plus to keep you in tune with your tasks.

Automation

Automation can be essential to productivity for those tasks you do repeatedly. Save yourself time and the risk of forgetting by automating tasks with Zapier or IF by IFTTT. They both integrate nicely with Evernote to provide you features for making your life and your work easier.

With Zapier, you can automate workflows between apps easily by choosing a trigger and action. If you are an IF by IFTTT user, you can use several "recipes" to automate anything from simple to complicated tasks. Share documents that automate notes, sync your content, and even archive data. Choose from the many pre-made recipes or create your own in a few simple steps.

When it comes to automating tasks, these integrations can be key. From posting your company's biggest news to important social media outlets, to saving order confirmation emails for office supplies, rescue yourself from manual work using these handy connections.

Paperless

Going paperless is more and more popular as technology grows and connecting useful tools to Evernote takes that a step further. Scanner Pro and Docady are very handy apps for scanning, saving, and securing your important documents.

When you put one or both of these together with Evernote, you can easily save your scanned documents to your chosen notebook. From a basic business card or receipt, to your driver's license or passport, your documents are safe and easily accessed.

2. Use the Mobile and Desktop Apps

Evernote is available on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and via the Web. If you are using Evernote, there is no better way to access important notes on the go than by using one of the mobile Evernote apps. In addition, Evernote has desktop applications that make staying up to date painless and simple.

For mobile devices, including Android phones and tablets, along with iPhone and iPad, Evernote is available for free. Just download, sign in, and access all of your notebooks, notes, reminders, and notifications, no matter where you go.

The desktop applications available for Evernote are also very useful. Whether you have a Mac or Windows machine, the application can be downloaded easily for free and offers the same convenient features without ever having to open your browser.

If you combine the mobile apps with the desktop applications, your Evernote is never further away than a tap or click.

3. Take Advantage of Browser Extensions

While you can certainly access Evernote via the Web, browser extensions allow you to perform actions without opening a window or page. For Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera the Evernote Web Clipper add-on works almost identically across the board. (For Internet Explorer or the Edge browser, Evernote recommends its desktop application.)

EvernoteWebClipperClipSimple

Clip a web page or article, capture an image, and save it to your chosen notebook in a few clicks. The convenient browser extension also allows you to create a bookmark, take a screenshot, or save a simplified version of the article without images.

You can pick your notebook, add a tag, and include a note. Keyboard shortcuts and default actions can also be configured in the settings of the extension, so that you can create the exact actions you need.

There is no better way to capture words or images from a website and save to your Evernote account than with the Evernote Web Clipper extension.

4. Connect or Disconnect Evernote

If you are not sure how to connect one of these applications to your Evernote account, the best place to start is in the app settings. If you know that the app integrates with Evernote, there will be a spot for you to sign into your Evernote account to connect the apps.

In addition, you can revoke access to other applications at any time. Just visit your Evernote account on the Web for a nice list of those apps you gave access to and make your adjustments. You will also see other devices that you gave access to your Evernote account, such as computers, cell phones, and tablets. These can be adjusted if needed.
