How to Migrate Your Notes From Evernote to Apple Notes on Mac

Gone were the times when the Apple Notes app looked nothing less than bloatware designed just to make numbers. Thanks largely to a series of notable improvements and the addition of handy features including “Quick Notes”, password protection, document scanning, and annotation, the stock note-taking app has become one of the best in the business and a strong alternative to popular note-taking apps such as Evernote.

Recently, Evernote has restricted new and existing free users to one notebook and a maximum of 50 notes. While this blockade might not seem to be a dealbreaker for folks who take notes only once in a blue moon, it’s going to disappoint a large of Evernote users. If you are one of them, you would be pleased to know that there is a neat way to migrate all your notes from Evernote to Apple Notes on Mac. Read on to make the switch without breaking any sweat…
