Evernote alternative: reminders in WhatsApp

Updated October 2026. Prices and features checked against each product's own website.

If you're looking for an Evernote alternative because you only ever used it for quick notes and reminders, Mindie does that from a WhatsApp chat. Text a note, ask for it later in your own words, and get reminders as messages.

If you have years of notebooks, clipped articles and scanned documents in Evernote, Mindie isn't where they should go.

The short answer

• Stay with Evernote, or move to another full notes app, if you keep an archive: notebooks, web clips, PDFs and scans.
• Try Mindie if your notes are mostly short things to remember and the reminders attached to them.

At a glance

Where Evernote is better

Evernote stores almost anything: long notes, web pages, PDFs, scans and attachments, organised into notebooks and searchable. Mindie stores short text you send it and reads screenshots. For an archive, Evernote or a similar full notes app is the right tool.

Where Mindie fits

Mindie is a contact in your WhatsApp. You text it the way you'd text a friend ("pay rent on the 5th at 10am"), or send a voice note or a screenshot, and it replies with the time it understood. If you leave out a time, it asks. At the right moment it messages you in the same chat, and you reply to move or cancel the reminder.

Most of what people save is small: a parking spot, a recipe tweak, a gift idea, a number to call. Mindie keeps those in one chat and finds them when you ask. Screenshots of bills and bookings become reminders, after Mindie checks the details with you. If you want longer notes in a proper workspace, connect Notion and send them with a hashtag.
