Evernote Tip: a quick way to open frequently accessed individual Evernote notes using Alfred → Features → Custom WebSearch

[rob213]

I have 12,000 + Evernote notes, a few of which I access multiple times a day.

 

I was looking for a quick way to access those notes in Evernote desktop and configure Alfred to do so.

 

In Evernote, I right click on the note in the notes list → in the context menu you see Copy Note Link - do NOT choose that option. Instead press the option key and a new menu item will appear called Copy Classic Note Link → click on  Copy Classic Note Link → go to Alfred → Features → Web Search → new custom search → paste the link as the URL, assign title and keyword, etc.

 

If you want the evernote note to open in the web version of evernote, use copy note link above instead of copy classic note link.

 

I find this method much faster than going through Evernote search workflows

Smart!

 

I have some notes I keep in Shortcuts on the EN sidebar for the same reason, but your idea is super low overhead. Thanks!

Meanwhile, the note links were renamed. 

So there are two methods:

1. Copy internal link | Copy web link

Use this link as suggested by @rob123 in Web Search → new custom search 

 

2. Copy internal link | Copy app link

We can use this link in an Alfred workflow with in an Open URL box.

Use you can see, the URL is an internal link ("evernote:///").

Importantly, you also see the "Open With" box shows: Evernote.

 

This opens Evernote and selects this particular note.
