Evernote has been around a while. The software we know today started around 2008 but there was an app before that with no cloud support. You synced using a USB stick!
Here’s a brief history of Evernote from 2005 until 2023 in screenshots. If I remember, I’ll update this post as things change.

I recommend checking out dribbble's section from Evernote Design. Lots of cool what-if's and walks down memory lane for me:

Loved this post! It's always great to look back and see what things "used to look like." How modern it all looked back then!
