Evernote Introduces Relative Dates

Relative dates have landed in Evernote and they’re a lot more useful than they sound. Type @today and watch it stay human as time moves on.

Something new in this weeks short mid-week video.

Evernote now lets you add relative dates to notes using the @ command.

Type something in natural language such as @today, @tomorrow, @last Wednesday or even @Christmas Day and Evernote turns it into an interactive date.

The clever bit is that the wording changes as time moves on. Today becomes yesterday, then last Wednesday.

In this video, I show you how to add and edit relative dates, change the date format and switch the feature off if you prefer the old behaviour.

Relative dates work inside your note content, note titles and notes created from calendar events.

You will need version 11.26.4 or later of the Evernote desktop apps.

Do relative dates make more sense to you than fixed dates? Prefer the old school method? Let me know in the comments.

Have a great rest of the week

All the best
