Quentier
Quentier is a cross-platform note taking app capable of working as Evernote client. It can also be used for local note taking as well, without the necessity to even have the Evernote account. Quentier supports the following features: * Synchronization of user data (notebooks, notes, tags, saved searches) with Evernote servers * Evernote search syntax can be used for data searching within the local database * Printing of notes and converting them to pdf files * Ability to open several notes simultaneously in either tabbed or windowed interface * Ability to switch between accounts - both local and Evernote ones

Usage
Quentier is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
Running Quentier on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Behold! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the Quentier AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
chmod +x ./*.AppImageThen double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing Quentier
If you want to restrict what Quentier can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating Quentier
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Quentier AppImage.
The Quentier AppImage also can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Using this tool, Quentier can be updated by downloading only the portions of the AppImage that have actually changed since the last version.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Quentier and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing Quentier in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
