I will need to find a new personal document manager, I’ve experimented with self hosted paperless ngx but I don’t recant to spend time setting up my containers, I’m happy to pay for something that works

Damn. That was a good app...
I see a lot of alternatives being discussed here so I’ll just throw one more on the pile for Mac users: Devonthink.
It organizes and centralizes a bunch of stuff for me. Has tagging, folders, a bunch of handy metadata and even tries to automatically sort/file things. It allows separate databases for work, personal or projects. Syncs/backs up via popular cloud providers - even multiple if you want redundancy. Just about the only thing I wish it did a better job of is scanning to PDF with a phone camera.
Thanks for letting me know, I deleted my 10+ year old account and moved everything somewhere else
Again it show subscription based services should be avoided like plague. Once you become an intensive user the subscription price increases and it’s painful to change.
I love Upnote ❤️
I’m in the Apple universe and use KeepIt; does most everything I need. Evernote’s best feature was the web clipper, but there are good workarounds.
I used evernote's web clipper a lot back then. These days I use Pocket to save articles / web pages I found interesting. I also have the wayback machine extension installed, which can be used to snapshot a page and submit them to the internet archive to preserve them (if you browse an interesting site and the number next to the wayback machine icon is low, hit that snapshot button). I also have SingleFile extension installed, which can snapshot any page into a single html file with images and styling inlined.
Whew. I used Evernote heavily for about two years back at the beginning of the app craze, but I quickly switched over to just the Apple Notes app as Apple made it more usable. Thank god I didn’t stick with that app
I didn't know Evernote was acquired. Rip Evernote ig.
Ah, that’s a pity. Time to backup my notes, then…
