Block Ads In Evernote On Mac

Get rid of those distracting upgrade advertisements on Evernote.

Clever user kaz219 figured out how to stop the distracting ads in the Evernote app (included here for archival purposes):

  1. Make sure Evernote is not running.
  2. Go to
    /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Evernote/promos/
  3. Remove all the images (leave stats.plist)
  4. Select promos and press command-I
  5. At the bottom, under "sharing & permissions", set all privileges to "read only" and click on the small lock at the bottom right

    6. Ed. note: I would gladly support Evernote by upgrading to Premium if it offered a value and their apps and website didn't have such antiquated UIs. As it is, Premium has no compelling features and they need to fire their designers.
