After Donovan reminded us about Nimbus Notes in the recent Evernote thread, I thought I’d start a new thread to discuss the app.
I’ve dabbled with Nimbus Notes a few times; most recently last November (well, and this morning). I like a lot of what I see, but what keeps me from committing to Nimbus Notes is that I don’t see any method of exporting my notes. I hope I am just missing it.
Other reactions to Nimbus Notes would be appreciated.

The Windows desktop version allows exporting to JSON and HTML, under the file menu. I’m not savvy enough to know if that’s adequate. I seem to recall that my past efforts to import via JSON were messy at best.

Sorry, let’s try this again.

Hi Steve,
I mostly use the web app, iOS, and the Windows program.
I have used the Windows program to export all files — JSON and HTML and they both worked flawlessly. It was important to me as well. I found the following on their site and #3 addresses export.

Another interesting page are side-by-side comparisons with Nimbus Note vs all major competitors.

OCR was also a big factor for me. It searches jpg and many other image formats for text and also searches contents of PDF.
The web clipper is really nice, too.

Hope this helps some, Steve.
Thank you for your many contributions to this forum!

In installed the app from the App Store, and registered an account. (Apps that require registration before use are somewhat annoying.)
In the app, I clicked on the icon for information about Nimbus Clipper. It took me to this site which (today at least) was half English and half Russian.

Big stop sign for me until I research more about where this company is actually located and where my data are stored. The apps appear to be front ends for web storage, so I think I’ll pause with getting to know Nimbus for now.
