I have been passionate about technology since very young. It all started with an Apple II, but it looks like life had other plans for me. I became an economist with a project management specialization, and a postgraduate degree in international relations.
For a long time, I couldn’t see it, but my education, the books I enjoy reading, and my passion for technology were the perfect combination to start a new career. As a Workflow Consultant, I help entrepreneurs create mindful workflows with a system based on Agile, Kanban, and Kaizen, which I have perfected for more than a decade.
Then, in 2016, something unexpected happened. I began experimenting with educational videos and now also consider myself a Creator. Here on the Channel, you can learn more about the tools, methods, and processes I use to learn new things and help my clients.

This looks slick, but once I see subscription I move along. I recently went with PDF-Xchange. A big factor was perpetual license, which gets harder to find all the time. I tried out the free version for a while and was happy enough to pay for Editor Plus.
You didn't really explain here how the format was YYYY-MM-DD but in the note it rendered as DD/MM/YYYY.
Where is any of this documented in the "Help and LEarning" page?
This is in reality for developers. So, it's part of the developers' documentation below. But as it is not that friendly to the end users, I'm constantly trying to “translate” best I can. dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php
Looks great, but unless you're a heavy user the subscription plan is just another cost to stack on the rest you're already paying. These costs can creep up, it's a shame they don't allow you to just purchase the software and pay for upgrades if and when you need them.
Good point! A major factor in my decision to use Final Cut instead of Premiere as a video editor was the fact that Apple does not require a subscription. However, the recently released Final Cut app for the iPad is subscription-based. I hope they don't bring that to the Mac app in the future.
@@vladcampos Indeed, in the world of subscription... an app has to earn its keep and so within those rules developers risk cutting ties with the masses who might have otherwise purchased their app and been life long customers. Maybe at some point that truth might dawn on some, but as we know... greed has a blinding effect.
PDFgear is free and the same.
People with programming experience may be more familiar with Advanced Search with operators, than AI-Powered Search.
The terms are not that hard to understand, but some are pretty difficult to memorize. So, I agree with you. They are not practical for daily use. However, I see them as super useful to create Saved Search or Widgets to automatically filter information I constantly use.

Nicely done. Very helpful.
I'm glad it was helpful. And thank you so much for the kind words 💚
Your instructional videos on Obsidian were truly fantastic! I found them incredibly helpful and informative. Please keep them coming - don't leave us hanging!
Thank you so much for the super kind words. I'm still an Obsidian user, and do plan to keep posting about it. But my style when using apps is less is more. For example, I have 6 installed plugins, which I have already discussed on the channel, and, at least for now, I don't see any need for new ones.
I had no idea we could encrpyt in Evernote. Has this been recently released? It solves my problem of not being able to lock a note. I mean it is not same as locking the whole note but still does the half of the job. You cannot encrypt tables or images.
I'm glad this was helpful. And no, it's not new. It was introduced many, many, many years ago ☺️
Good video but can you add some lighting to your videos. They are so dark.
Oops that's on me, the editor. I make the videos darker when editing. I enjoy the darker vibe and, to be honest, I never thought people would care about it since I keep the shared screens untouched.
@@vladcampos I always thought you don't have sufficient natural light in your room with limited or no windows.
I have plenty of artificial light that I could use, but I always keep them all off. Even when I'm working, the only light I keep on the entire day is a desk lamp. I always prefer less light. Even at home 🫣
@errolrobateau4891 and @colinpowda I had a video to publish today, but I decided to hold it until tomorrow (Monday) to redo the color grading. Because of the way it was filmed, I won't be able to do magic, but I'll do my best to make it look a little more lit. Maybe other people also prefer more light. So, next time I record, I'll do it with more light. I confess that I'm not into the studio vibe when it is all lit, but let's see what people say. Shaking things up, is leaving the comfort zone and embracing the unexpected. Which is always an opportunity to discover something new. So, let's try this! 😉
And for Apple Notes, as these are on iCloud you get the same AES256 encryption as other cloud services, but you can also turn on Advanced Data Protection and have End to End encryption on your whole iCloud account (excludes Mail, Calendar, Contacts etc).
Interesting. So what we have in iCloud is only "in transit" and "at rest"? I always thought it was end-to-end encrypted by default.
Whats the emoji picker app?
It's not an app. It's a Mac feature.
Nice video! I think it is very helpful to explain the different l levels and areas of encryption. I love the encrypted text feature and use it a lot. If I HAD to choose between encrypted blocks of text OR password protected notes (like Apple notes) I, personally, would choose the encrypted blocks. The reason is searching. You can't search for content in a password encrypted note so it is hard to find things. With Evernote's current approach I can have note with a lot of (searchable) context and only encrypt the actual sensitive bits like account passwords or investment balances. That said I think I have use cases for password protected notes if they were also available. I would be more interested in password protected notes vs. notebooks (if Evernote are asking). But maybe being able to encrypt a whole notebook would be a good half way solution between what we have now and E2E for some people. One thing that bothers me about encrypted blocks is the fact that it won't encrypt bullet or number lists. I use bullets everywhere and if I decide I want to encrypt it later, I have to manually reformat to remove the bullets before I can. The building 'simplify formatting' or 'remove formatting' features won't do anything, you have to do it manually (Evernote are you listening?). Also a caveat about check lists you 'can' encrypt a single check box line and you can add checkboxes to an encrypted block after the fact but you can't select a list of checkboxes and encrypt those. It is an annoying distinction.
Great points there. I also like the fact that encrypted blocks will list the note if I filter by tags. But like you, I think users should have choices. In some cases it would be better if we could encrypt a note or notebook. As for formatting text inside the box, in the past it was only possible to encrypt simple text. When they added formatting, it came with the limitations we have until now. I never understood why some options are not allowed.
I always use APP link. This is a problem. Offline app-link can work, but if it always go to the web, offline use is impossible. Evernote is going the wrong way.
Don't lose hope just yet 😉. I'm bringing all the comments similar to yours to Evernote's attention.
Evernote has gotten so good. I think I might have to renew my sub
Dear Vlad, thank you for such an amazing and clear solution for Obs/Scr! I noticed the hierarchy of folders (tree structure) created in Scrivener is not supported in Obsidian - is it only my bug? Or theres a solution for this? Thanks again! You made our workflow more efficient and happy!
Today my Evernote (free) does not let me sync on 2 devices, I am being asked on the second device to disconnect one of them. Has there been a change ? They had reduced in Nov 23 sync to 2 devices. Is it just 1 now ??
I just checked and the website still says 2 devices. I suggest you contact support.
I definitely need both the app link and the web link. Actually, I use the app link to a note more than the web link. From other apps that is, inside Evernote and between notes I only use the @-linking option. Example: From todoist projects I use the app link to open a project’s note in Evernote quick and easy. From Notion on the other hand I have to use the web link, as Notion doesn't recognize local app links and doesn’t make them clickable, so I have to use the web link there. Opening a note in the desktop app via a web link takes forever before it opens in the desktop app, and also leaves an ”orphaned” browser window/tab behind. Confusing that the app link copy feature is gone from the three-dot menu, while still available in the top menu and the right-click option in the notes list. (That it shows the keyboard shortcut as being the same for both the app link and the web link is annoying, but I guess should be corrected soon.)
I sent your comment to the Evernote team.
Still annoyed that they require "paid" for more than three devices. Now that work has gone with Office 365 ... this really doesn't matter. I haven't used Ever Note since my blackberry and my first Samsung smart phone.
Not more than 3. It's more than 2.
The old internal links start with "obsidian:" and the web links start with "https:". Your computer knows that any link that starts "obsidian:" should open up the Obsidian Desktop application, and anything that starts "https:" should open up your default web browser. Bending Spoons are migrating toward just having web links. These will open up in the browser first and log into your Evernote account. After checking your preferences it will notice that you prefer to see these in your desktop application. It will then redirect by changing the address from "https:" to "obsidian:". This will instruct your broswer to ask your operating system to start the Obsidian desktop app and pass the link. However a webpage is not allowed to arbitrarily launch programs on your desktop. So the first time you try this it will ask you to allow it (these is a checkbox to say "remember my choice" so that you can avoid it asking everytime. Published notes always open in the browser. As it just displays the public version and doesn't log it, it never redirects to your desktop app. Hopefully, Bending spoons will figure out a way of automatically closing the browser tab if it succesfully launches the desktop app.
Hey Vlad!, What is that green keyboard? Thank you
It is the Android default keyboard. There's a setting to change its color. Here everything is usually green, so I change it. 😊💚
It's pathetic that decades after Evernote was initially developed, thought leaders and users alike still struggle to organize their notes! Come on, Evernote… give us unlimited notebook (folder) nesting! And develop a way to mirror notebooks into other stacks, as is available in Workflowy.
Thanks for the explanations, which correspond exactly to my tests. Using the Web-Link in other applications (instead of the App-Link) and defining the choice so that the note opens in the application is a real disaster, it takes a long time and is really frustrating. Once again, I notice that Bending Spoons doesn't use Evernote intensively, otherwise it wouldn't make this kind of change.
Helpful, thankyou. Unfortunately I can't get it to work on Windows (Chrome + Windows desktop app). If I leave it on "ask every time" I can manually go from Evernote on the the web to my desktop app. If I change the setting to "Desktop app" it just stays on the web version and dosn't automatically go the desktop version. I've linked to this video from an ongoing discussion thread about the topic on the Evernote forum.
Not sure if this is the case there, but here's something you can try. The first choice setting has to always be done on the browser. And that setting is shown on a pop-up box. Meaning that if you have Chrome set to block pop-ups, you'll never see it.
It is a big kooky but I get it now. Thx
You are right. This is the result of new features on top of old ones for years In a row. It's so hard to explain, but I'm so glad Bending Spoons is dealing with all these legacy inconsistencies.
@@vladcamposagreed-they are really improving the product and getting more streamlined and useful. I am enjoying the direction it is going. As of now, I keep my todo list and calendar separate but I can see myself moving to Evernote as my all-in-one application someday. Just not yet!
🚨 Please also watch the other videos below on this topic for additional information and, I hope, a better explanation. 👇 kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5urxambZ6vXgMo.html
Thanks for working so hard to clarify such a complicated topic. I understand what they are trying to do. Having two kinds of links has been a pain and source of confusion since the beginning. They are choosing to standardize on Web links. If the goal is to standardize on a single type of link, then if you consider all the possible scenarios web links are probably the right choice. I just think that understanding the impact this will have on external apps is important, and you covered that well. There is one thing that is still missing from this conversation, and it is the reason I freaked out when I noticed this change. Ever since they introduced note links when you clicked on a WEB link INSIDE the Evernote App it would open up the Browser and go to the web version of the note. This was what I was worried about way more than the external app issue. That would mean that every time I clicked on a note link in Evernote Desktop it would open a browser window, check the link and then redirect it back to the desktop app. That would be frustrating beyond belief. Not acceptable. But what slipped through the cracks is that fact that in 10.97.x they are intercepting those web links in the Desktop app and taking you directly to the note without the browser re-direct. This is new behavior and addresses that concern. If you go back to 10.96 you'll find that web links behave as I described. So this is an important detail. I wish Evernote would communicate a bit better sometimes.
Yes, MUCH more clearer 😊
I'm so glad to hear that. I was having such a hard time trying to find the best way to communicate this.
You tube suggestion
Thank you 💚
They need to sort out the keyboard shortcut for copying the link. When you right click it says it is for the app link but in the three dots menu it says it is for the web link. It is actually still for the app link but if the future is the web style link then I guess they will change it.
Good point. I missed that. I just reported it to the team responsible for it.
When I noticed the menu change to the remove app link I freaked out. I use the keyboard short cut to paste APP links throughout my day and the menu told me it was pasting web links. I headed straight for the bug report page. At least right now it turns out that the shortcut is still pasting app links. Note links are probably the most important feature for me and I really don't want them to break it. Many years back when linking was new I got my links all mixed up between web and app links. (They still don't give you the option for an app link on iOS or iPad os). I would try and open some links on the desktop app and it would send me to the web. It took me weeks to go through all my notes and sort it out - and to learn to never try and past a link on my mobile devices. I think I see where they are going with this feature, but I'm worried about it. If they remove the app links then my browser will be involved everytime I try and open a link. That means evernote on the web will open and log in so that it can turn around and send the link back to the app. That is going to slow things down. Some times I have trouble getting the web version to load, in those cases I just wouldn't be able to open a link I guess. I think this is going to make things more fragile.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation. I brought your concern to the team at Evernote responsible for the “note links”. However, to be honest, I am now quite curious. What's the reason you rely so heavily on external links?
@@vladcampos As much as I try to get everything I do in Evernote I still have to use other tools. I don't rely on external links as much as I used to though. I used to be a heavy Trello user and every card had a link to an Evernote note. Today I still have to use other tools and apps, but want to keep my 'single source of truth' in Evernote. So I end up with Evernote links in Google docs, RTF files, Apple Notes, Smartsheet and even Obsidian.
@@vladcampos don't depend on external links as options I used to since I stopped using Trello (every card had a link back to an Evernote note). I do, however, still have a lot of external apps in my workflow that have to use that link back to notes in Evernote (my source of truth). I have Evernote Links in Google docs, Smartsheet, Apple notes, Rich Text Files and even Obsidian.
If they’re going to stick with “copy web link” in place of “copy note link” or something similar, that’ll be horrible.
Agree. That name makes no sense at all.
Evernote tasks can be found based on description from task search box in desktop app But NOT on mobile app !!! dont know why ?since i am on the latest version on android as well
It has nothing to do with the version. It's a business decision. You can learn more about it watching the video below. It's the first topic I cover at the 13s mark. 👇 kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4RszLeAh82bY7A.html

Thnak you!
Hi, it was on my KZread home page
Nice. This video was set to *not* be shown on subscribers' timelines or send any notifications. I was trying to understand how good the algorithm is on finding people interested in a video. It found you and more than 100 other views so far.
My home page
Mee too.
The views just crossed 400. And everyone came from the work done by the algorithm. Now it makes sense to me the recent KZread talk about how subscribing to a channel is not seen by the algorithm as a strong signal of interest anymore.
👋 Hi there! I'd appreciate your help with an experiment I'm doing. How did you end up watching this video? Did you see it on your KZread home page and clicked? Was it suggested at the end of another video? Something else? Anyway, please reply to this comment telling me how you ended up watching this video.
KZread, first suggestion!
Thank you 💚
It was on my KZread home page
@@vladcampos The video on Evernote showed up in my feed (and I subscribed) and then clicked on the thumbnail at the end of the video.
Awesome! Very useful. I guess I wont be using notin so much anymore.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been following you for a couple of weeks now. Thank you for this channel. If I may make a request . . . . Can you PLEASE create a series of videos on best searching practices. The thing about Evernote is that EVERYONE will organize it differently. It is intentionally designed this way. One thing that all of your subscribers do have in common is that they would be well served to know the best practices for searching for what they are looking for, especially when using the AI component, (like what search terms, etc.), but also just the best way to find their content the fastest way possible. I really do hope you consider doing some videos on this.
Hi, I think all apps end up being incomplete at some point, unfortunately. So why not try other newer solutions to these problems? such as other apps like capacities or heptabase, for example? (It doesn't just have to be the Notion). oi, boa tarde. Eu acho que todos apps acabam sendo incompletos, em algum ponto, infelizmente. Então porque não tentar outras soluções mais novas para esses problemas? tais como outros apps como capacities ou heptabase, por exemplo? (Não precisa ser apenas o Notion).
Indeed, there are several other great apps out there. I'm constantly testing them and many times I share tutorials and my opinions here on the channel. However, for what I need, none ever checked as many boxes as Evernote. One good example is the Web Clipper. I never found one as complete and as good as Evernote's. And the list goes on and on. So, when I weigh the pros and cons, Evernote is always the winner if I had to choose a single app. But there are other apps in my toolbox. For example, I use Obsidian every day for many things I do. And I have already published many videos about it.
I experience the same situation as Vlad. Tried virtually everything outta there, but always ended up coming back to the green elephant. I'm never 100% satisfied with it too, but that's life 🤷@@vladcampos
A full two weeks has gone by and still no word on when this will be available for normal subscribers. What's the point of posting about features we common users can't use? I guess I'm supposed to be excited? I'm just frustrated. Campos, you're wasting my time with clickbait. How is this helpful?
I'm sorry for that. I can assure you it has nothing to do with making people excited about it. Publishing was my decision because I believed people would be happy to know about it. And it was never meant to be clickbaity. I just wanted to share some good news. I was allowed to publicly share it because they were about to release it. That's it. Probably they fund a bug that they are working on. Every so often it happens with these beta features. After all, that is the point of releasing a beta version of a feature. Anyway, because of this video (this situation), I'll most likely stop publishing this kind of video.
4:35 how to do that ...
Do you mean the Frontmatter fields? The dropdown boxes? Please watch this other video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWmnzrCwetKnfaQ.html
Evernote should Implement the following points in tasks on priority :- 1)Drag and droppable tasks in calender view (must have) 2)week view 3)shortcuts to create tasks Then only it would be an enjoyable and Truly useful tasks section .
Vlad, I've been a loyal user of EN since its starting days. I started creating too many notebooks -(wrong idea), then I relied on tags. Now with AI I don't think that is neccesary. We are wrong (I think) that we need to organize our notes as the old shelves in cabinets. For me what it works is a good Title and AI will take of that. Our main objective of EN is to storage and to retrieve the info as quick as possible. AI is the solution.
I am not using either pins or reminders.. All my notebooks are titles with 1 to 9 .. Because I like to see my notes in "chronological order" ... So obviously the note I want pinned will be number 1 . In case I have more than 9 notes I use 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 and so on.. Where all the notes starting with 2 is the same topic
Pinning a note to a notebook is great. I missed it a lot before they brought the feature.
👍 Plain text now in code blocks: I’ve also been using the code block for other things than code, and was a bit annoyed that when they introduced code formatting for different code languages, they didn’t include plain text as an option. But just now when I tried out the code block again while watching your video - there it was; plain text formatting in all its glory! :-) So I can keep using the code block for non-code use (even though I have to manually chose Plain text as ”language”, as English text is interpreted as Visual Basic .NET when set to Auto).
💚 Thank you for sharing this with the community! I'm not complaining at all, but Evernote has been moving so fast that it's been difficult to keep up with everything that's new.
@@vladcampos Indeed, always new improvements (for the most part) coming all the time time now, and I ❤ it.
As I understand, Table of Contents uses Link to Headings. Assuming my understanding is correct, that is how I'm using Link to Headings. It's easy to define the headings I want, then use Table of Contents to create links to each of them, all at once.
I guess I didn't phrase it the right way. You are 100% right. That's a Link to Headings. What I was trying to say was doing it manual. Clicking the chain and using it somewhere else, like I did in the video 😉
