## What it is
A Python CLI tool that backs up all Evernote (and Yinxiang) notes and notebooks into a local SQLite database and exports them as .enex files. It supports OAuth login, incremental sync, and export as notebooks or single notes.

## Use cases
- back up all my evernote notes locally
- export evernote notebooks to enex files
- migrate notes out of evernote
- sync evernote account to a local database
- export yinxiang notes
- download evernote notes as single enex files

## When to choose
- you want a full local backup of an Evernote or Yinxiang account
- you need enex exports for migration to other note apps
- you prefer a scriptable CLI with Docker/portable binary options

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI backup tool
- you want real-time continuous sync rather than on-demand backups
- you need exports to formats other than enex
