One of the tools to capture my notes on a PC and Android mobile device is Evernote. Searching online today, it is clear that Evernote is not available on Linux (Mint), however it has been implied that their API is sufficient for anyone to develop a version of Evernote (Evernote on Linux). This means no Evernote application on Linux. Good news for the Linux community as the API documentations are available at https://dev.evernote.com/
Nixnote by baumgarr provides you access to Evernote on Linux Mint along with a user manual in PDF. Download the version suitable for you at https://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files
