Install Evernote Client ‘NixNote 2’ in Ubuntu 16.04

Nixnote is open-source desktop app for Evernote. It was written in Java until NixNote 2, which is a rewrite in C++ and Qt, with better performance and a reduced memory usage, though it still uses Java for encrypting and decrypting text which is optional.

Nixnote Features:

• Synchronizes with Evernote servers
• Local data caching
• Cross platform
• Local-only and synchronized notebooks supported
• Database may be encrypted locally

How to install Nixnote in Ubuntu:

Nixnote 2 is still in Beta stage. So far the beta 8 release is available for Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and their derivatives.

Download Nixnote 2 (i386.deb for 32bit, or amd64.deb for 64bit):
