At the moment, I use both Evernote and TheBrain. For connecting both I use an Autohotkey script. Maybe it helps someone.
My workflow is the following way:
1. Save Notes in Evernote "Inbox" folder
2. When I have time: Tag notes in Evernote and create a thought in TheBrain
3. Connect the note in evernote with the link function to TheBrain thought
4. Move note to specific Evernote folder
By that you can use Evernote to capture content and connect it by using TheBrain. Also you can browse through your brain, click the link and the note will be opened in Evernote. For me it is quite convenient.
The optimum of course would be, that the note from evernote would be in sync with the TheBrain note.
For Step 3, I have made an AutoHotkey Script, which generates a child in TheBrain. The name of the child is taken by the current selection. Then it takes the link to the note from Evernote and appends it to the thought in TheBrain and switches back to Evernote. It works quite good, only sometimes the script is faster than my computer and you have to try again.
You have to adapt "Main - TheBrain 7" to your title of the TheBrain window (shown in red)
