Notewire, the notes vault that searches scans

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A local-first Evernote replacement that imports notes, attachments, tags, scans, and PDFs, then makes their text searchable.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

Notewire is organized around importing an existing Evernote archive rather than starting from an empty notes app. Its stated workflow keeps note text on the machine, downloads large files on demand, and searches recognition text across scans and PDFs; imports are resumable and report items the source format could not carry across. The page lists HTML or Markdown export, a 250 MB free file tier, and a $59 one-time desktop licence.
