Move from Evernote to Dovli
It takes a few minutes, and your pages stay in Evernote too, so you can try both.
- In Evernote, select a notebook (or some notes), choose Export, and pick ENEX (.enex).
- In Dovli, open Settings, then Import & export, and drop one or more .enex files in.
- Each notebook becomes a page holding its notes. Pictures come along, and links between notes still work.
