Offer a streamlined personal archive with cross-device notes, attachments, scanning, email capture, search, and a strong Evernote importer. Sell it through a one-time license that includes a guided migration and validation report, with an optional low-cost synchronization and backup plan. The first version can combine an existing local-first notes engine with a paid migration concierge before investing in a complete standalone product.

Sharp subscription increases are prompting decade-long users with large archives to switch, while the volume and complexity of their stored material creates migration anxiety. Subscription fatigue across multiple note and journal products strengthens demand for predictable ownership-oriented pricing.
