While in the Quick Note, URLs will be visualized as plain text, but once saved in the app Evernote will correctly display them as hyperlinks. Because dropping items onto the menubar icon doesn’t automatically save a note, you can, for instance, drop URLs, bits of text, and images as you browse around the Internet, and only later save them as a single note. You can type or drag plain text into the Quick Note, drop images, and start new audio recordings inline.

The nice thing about Quick Note is that it accepts three kinds of inputs and doesn’t save a note until you tell Evernote to do so. Aside from a large content area, the popover features buttons to clip the entire screen or a portion of it, a microphone button, a shortcut to save a note in the app (which can also be done with Command + Enter), and a settings icon to quit the app and access other preferences. The big new feature of Evernote 5.0.6 is the redesigned menubar helper: called Quick Note, it is a new popover that accepts input to quickly create new notes in the application the popover can be invoked by clicking the Evernote icon in the menubar, or by hitting the CMD + Control + N shortcut. It’s unclear how Evernote for Mac may have affected the security of passwords of the service, but Evernote says more details will be posted on their blog.

For now, the update is only available for versions of Evernote downloaded outside of the Mac App Store.Īccording to the changelog, the update “addresses a security issue that requires you to reset your password”.

Alongside a notice to warn their users of a security breach, Evernote released today an update to their Mac app, which reaches version 5.0.6.
