I’ve got a very large collection of recipes in Evernote, also many journal entries going back years. I’m about to add a LOT more notes on other subjects for professional purposes but I’m already experiencing some serious problems with syncing. So I don’t feel entirely secure with Evernote. I don’t believe I’ve hit the limit on the number of notes in my account. But still, this makes me wary of losing important data when it so often completely refuses to sync. I’ve already emptied the trash and tried other suggestions.
Wondering if it’s time to start migrating my recipes to other software.
This is what I don’t need:
Shopping lists, suggested recipes from famous cookbooks, sharing lists with other users, task management checklists. I’ve seen one (Recipe Sage) that has a webclipper that automatically moves the ingredients, cooking instructions, portions, etc into appropriate fields. That’s cool, but I don’t really need that. I’m happy to keep the recipe as nothing but simple text. I like being able to choose whether I want to keep a picture or leave it out.
This is what I do need:
Software that works on Windows computer and iOS mobile devices.
A webclipper feature. Quickly importing text from a website without having to manually copy and paste it.
Tags in a tree-structure. Not sure I’m using the correct terminology here. I mean tags that can include sub-tags and sub-sub-tags. I’ve been using that in Evernote and I depend on that for keeping the tags in order. Putting all tags into one bucket and sorting them alphabetically wouldn’t work for me because there are just so many.
Come to think of it, this software really doesn’t have to be designed specifically as a recipe organizer. Looking for an alternative to Evernote that can let me tag in a hierarchical structure, and do webclipping. Ideally it would let me choose how much content I get from that webclipping. Evernote lets you choose a simplified article or chosen excerpt, which strips out extraneous webpage content and reduces the size of the document.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

A note I created in Evernote on iPhone about an hour and a half ago STILL has not successfully sync’d. I keep swiping down to get it to sync and nothing happens. Evernote suggests rebooting or reinstalling, but that wouldn’t save me in a situation where I’m about to lose some recent edits. Just closing the app on my phone results in losing recent edits.

there is this site https://www.noteapps.info/ that lists a bunch of note taking apps, that can be browsed by features….
I’ve been playing with nimbus notes, but never testes it with 1000 of notes, and it doesnt do nested tags, NoteJoy is another option that does allow nested tags….
Amplenote is an option too

I might try OneNote. It has a pretty good Evernote import process.
