Evernote has announced a completely redesigned version of its application for Mac OS

What's New In Evernote 5
● Shortcuts: Drag your favorite notes, notebooks and tags into the Shortcuts area for quick access.

● Recent Notes: Quickly jump back to what you were working on using Recent Notes, which displays your 5 most recently-edited notes.


● Notes, notebooks and tags: Dedicated buttons let you access and organize notes however you choose.

● Expanding notebook and tag lists: Advanced users can right-click on the Notebook or Tags buttons and select “Show List” to show the expanded list.

● Browsing and creating notes: A better Notes list and an improved Snippets view.

● Better notes list: Your Notes List now displays one list of all notes from your personal as well as Joined Notebooks. The menus on the top of the Note List make it easy to sort notes, change your note layout, or filter notes using notebook or tag selectors.


● Snippets view: Snippets view now shows that note’s notebook and whether that notebook is shared with others.

● Cards view: Browse notes with the new Cards view, which displays your notes as a list of informative, easy to scan, and visually appealing Cards. You can show a huge collection of notes full-screen with Expanded Cards view.

● Note editor: The note editor now frames your content beautifully and expands as needed to fit your content. For distraction-free composition and editing, you can use the full-screen single note view.

● Change a note’s location: We made it easy to add or change the geographic location of a note. Just pull up the note info menu, then type any location or address in the Location field or click the compass arrow to use your current location.



● Keyboard shortcuts: We've added lots of timesaving new keyboard shortcuts, such as:
CMD-J: Jump to a notebook from anywhere in the application
CMD-Shift-A: Jump to All Notes
CMD-Option-(1-5): Switch to main sidebar sections (Notes, Notebooks, etc)
CMD-(1-9): Jump to Shortcuts
CMD-L: Edit current note title
CMD-': Edit current note tags
CMD-]: Indent text

● Notebooks and tags: A screenshot of the new Grid View, showing every stack and notebook in one place.

● Grid view: Grid view shows every stack and notebook in one place, including your own notebooks as well as any Joined Notebooks. You can now sort notebooks or tags by Name, Note Count, and Owner (for Joined Notebooks).

● List view: List view notebooks show the same information as Grid view, but in a more compact format.

● Tags: Tags are presented in a comprehensive list. Select any tag (in blue) to see other tags (highlighted in white) also used on notes with that tag.

● Timesaving new features:
-- Quickly filter out notebooks or tags by clicking the left navigation button, then immediately typing the filter word.
-- Drag all your most frequently-used notes, notebooks or tags to the Shortcuts menu. Click on any Shortcut to browse those notes, or drag notes onto a Shortcut to change the notebooks or apply tags.
-- Share a notebook by clicking the “share” button on any notebook icon.

● Atlas: Atlas is a brand new way to visually explore your notes in Evernote. Evernote helps you remember where you were when you took notes to help you have richer, more vibrant memories. Evernote Atlas reads the location where your notes were created and intelligently presents them to you on Place Cards based upon their proximity to each other.

● Map view: Click on any card to see flags with numbers representing all the notes in that location. Pan and zoom to see more or fewer notes then click on a flag to see the associated notes. To see notes created near your current location, click the compass icon.

● TypeAhead search suggestions: With TypeAhead suggestions, Evernote’s Search is more powerful than ever. It completes your thoughts based on the words and phrases you personally use frequently in Evernote.

● Search Joined Notebooks: Search results now show notes both from all personal as well as Joined Notebooks at the same time.

● Saved Searches can be Shortcuts: You can drag Saved Searches from the search menu into your Shortcuts for easier access.

● More search options: Click into the Search field for a variety of search options. You can search all your notes or click the Notebook capsule to search just those in the Notebook you were last viewing. If a notebook or tag matches your search, selecting a match adds search tokens that you can click on and modify later if desired. Below those, your five most recent searches are stored and shown in a selectable list.

● Collaboration: The rethought sharing experience for notebooks, notes, and collaborators

● Content all in one place: For Evernote 5 we rethought the sharing experience. All notebooks are in a single, sortable view and all personal and Shared Notes can be viewed and searched in a single Note List. Everything is together. Icons clearly tell you whether a notebook is shared, and who the owner is. Share any notebook simply by clicking the Share button.

● Activity Feed: It’s now easier to stay up-to-date with who made what changes in Shared Notebooks. The Activity Feed still shows all activity, but now collapses redundant information. If you are running the latest version of Mac OS X, you’ll see alerts in Notification Center as well.

● Share banner: A share banner along the top of the note indicates if a note is in a Shared Notebook and how many people have access to it

A beta of the new Evernote for Mac will be available next week.
