Requires Ruby and Evernote API credentials, plus comfort reading the source code since the README lacks step-by-step setup instructions.
evernote-import is a small collection of scripts that helps you move personal data, specifically old diary entries, into Evernote. If you have years of writing stored in CSV or XML files and want it all living in one searchable place inside Evernote, this tool does the heavy lifting for you. The scripts are written in Ruby. To use them, you install a few helper packages (called gems) that handle things like decoding special characters, talking to Evernote's API, and parsing feed data. Once those are in place, the scripts read your source files and push the contents into your Evernote account. The README doesn't go into much detail beyond that, there's no step-by-step guide or configuration walkthrough, so you'd need to be comfortable poking around the code yourself. This would appeal to someone who has archived personal writing in older formats, think exported blog posts, old journal apps, or spreadsheets of dated entries, and wants to consolidate everything into Evernote. It's a niche utility built for a specific need rather than a general-purpose tool. The project is clearly a personal, scratch-your-own-itch kind of thing. The README is minimal and tongue-in-cheek, so don't expect polish or support. If you're comfortable with Ruby and have similar import needs, it could be a useful starting point, but beginners might find it tough to get running without additional documentation.
