The finalists of the Evernote Devcup 2012 Developer Championship are determined.

Exactly one year ago, at this very time, we presented six applications that became finalists of the first developer competition held by Evernote. And today we are pleased to name the six finalists of the Devcup of this year.

The goal of Devcup is to find applications that will appeal to users, open for them new ways to use Evernote, will be perfectly implemented and easy to use. Three weeks ago we finished accepting applications from the participants of Devcup, and our jury took up a difficult job: it was necessary to review hundreds of applications and select five star finalists. Given the abundance of applications sent to us from very high-quality programs and services, the task turned out to be difficult. The long evenings spent in the office, liters of coffee and heated debate eventually led the jury to an agreed opinion, and they presented five final appendices.

Web pages fragments copied from the world wide web are the most popular type of notes in Evernote. Millions of people use our web clippers daily for Chrome, IE, Firefox and Safari to save articles found on the Internet and any other information. At the same time, the majority of mobile users until today did not have the opportunity to copy web pages. EverClip is an iPhone application that has access to the clipboard and allows you to send everything you copy in the browser directly to your Evernote account. You can copy any selected information to the iPhone, including images, no matter what application you have open.



KustomNote (USA) - watch the video

The lack of a clear storage structure in Evernote is one of those features that turn a service into a powerful and convenient tool. We do not tell you how to use and organize information in Evernote, offering to arrange your digital memory in accordance with your preferences. But sometimes it becomes necessary to perform a series of similar tasks or to place information in a new note in a special way. KustomNote is a web service created for just such cases. With it, you can use typical note templates or come up with your own, and then create structured notes in Evernote using a simple input form.



LiveMinutes (USA) - watch video

Despite the fact that Evernote is your personal and confidential assistant, quite often there is a need to share information in your account with a small group of people, for example, colleagues or relatives. LiveMinutes is a powerful web-based collaboration service that allows you to share notes during online meetings, edit notes in real time together, and then save everything to Evernote.



PlaceMe (USA) - Watch Video

Starting to use PlaceMe with Evernote, you will never forget about the places you visited. PlaceMe is an iPhone app that records your travels and saves the total of the day with routes to Evernote. Information is recorded automatically and completely confidential - the application is created so that you remember where you have been, and will not notify you of your whereabouts. It doesn't matter if you want to find a restaurant where you had dinner during your last trip to San Francisco, or a hotel where you spent your holiday last year, PlaceMe will give you this information.
