# Carryover

> A notes app built around migration and ownership — lossless import from Evernote and Notion including attachments and internal links, local-first plain files, and a price committed to in writing. Currently in development; waitlist open. The research behind it is published in full.

## Key findings (July 2026 study)

- Corpus: 6,214 one-to-three-star reviews across notes and personal-knowledge apps.
- 236 reviews explicitly mention exporting, migrating or switching away — the highest migration intent measured in the study.
- Low-star share by app: Evernote 50%, Notion 42%, Obsidian 33%, Todoist 27%, Bear 27%, Things 3 25%.
- Missing features 14.9%, reliability 16.3%, ads and upsell pressure 7.6%, price 4.0%.
- The dominant complaint is not note-taking quality but repricing of existing subscribers on top of data that is hard to move.

## Stated limitations

- 41% of substantive reviews were not matched by the complaint taxonomy; all percentages are floors, not true rates.
- App store reviews over-represent the daily user; buyer voice on G2 and Capterra is not represented.
- No recency weighting; some cited failures may already be fixed.
