I used to use Evernote connected to a Galaxy Note tablet that I could use to write handwritten things down. One day I reviewed some of these and decided they were way too personal to entrust to a 3rd party who didn&#x27;t even have an encryption scheme. Also, when you sync Evernote to a new computer, it can download notes you would rather not have on every computer you want to use Evernote on.<p>I deleted my Evernote account. I now carry these tools everywhere I go:<p>* Fisher 400B Space Bullet Space Pen - Matte Black[1]<p>* Field Notes Pitch Black Edition[2]<p>The pen was a spectacular find. It is only a few inches long, which allows you to carry it in your front jeans pocket without discomfort. It is also heavy and a joy to write with. The notepad is a sweet goth black and slides easily into your back pocket.<p>DS Note [3] by Synology is a spectacular replacement for Evernote. It is an app that runs on their Diskstation NAS servers, so all the data is stored on your home server. You can import your Evernote account to it. I rarely use it, but it is incredibly full-featured. You just have to buy a Synology Diskstation NAS.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B000WGD13U" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B000WGD13U</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B00GC5QTR0" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B00GC5QTR0</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.synology.dsnote&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.synology.d...</a>
