Evernote
Long-running notes app built around clipping and searching everything
Holds typed notes, clipped web pages, photographs, PDFs and forwarded email in one searchable store that syncs across devices. It was the default second-brain app through most of the 2010s and still has the strongest clipper of the older tools. Pricing rose sharply under new ownership, which pushed many long-time users elsewhere.

Evernote is the notes app he says he uses and recommends, picked for simplicity and for the range of sources it will take. Everything he captures across a week, about 15 to 30 notes, gets filed into notebooks in one batch when he sits down for his weekly review.
