The first Evernote beta for Mac 5.6 is available for installation.

For six months, our team worked on the complete processing of Evernote for Mac in all aspects of the application. We set ourselves the task of creating a faster and more stable version of Evernote for Mac. The new version also turned out to be more economical in terms of energy consumption.

The work is not finished yet, but we are already ready to offer you to try out our beta version and help with the detection of errors in the operation of the application. Those interested can install the application at the link at the end of the post.
