Do the new notes you create always start with a title? Learn how to set the Apple Notes app on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac to begin with the main body text instead of the huge title.
If you use the Notes app on your iPhone or iPad for not just note-taking but capturing photos, videos, and scans to reference within your notes, you can also save those items to your Photos app.
This means that if you want to use that capture for something else, you can find it easily in Photos rather than opening the Notes app for it. Maybe you thought this was happening all along, only to discover recently that it’s not.
Here’s how to automatically save photos, videos, and scans taken in Notes to Photos on iPhone and iPad.
The Apple Notes app offers an easy way to share and collaborate on notes and folders. Whether you're using an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or accessing iCloud on the web, this tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to share, collaborate, and manage permissions for a seamless teamwork and project coordination.
If you use your iPhone or iPad to scan documents and save them in the Notes app, then you can manage those scans in Notes on your Mac. The features in Notes allow you to capture a scan from your device, view it on your Mac, and then crop, rotate, or apply filters.
Whether you want to keep copies of scans in Notes or just add one as a reference, here’s how to manage your scanned documents in Notes on Mac.
The iCloud.com website is now available with a new landing page on mobile devices which finally brings support for some of its web apps such as Photos, Notes and Reminders. Previously, accessing the website from an iPhone or Android used to bring up a landing page informing you that you couldn't get to the web apps whilst using a mobile browser.
The Notes app is a terrific tool on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac for, of course, notes. You can create different folders to organize them, use lists and tables to structure them, and add passwords for security. In addition to these helpful features, you can turn your notes from the Notes app into reminders in the Reminders app.
You may be using Notes as a to-do list at home or a checklist at work. So, turning those notes or specific parts of notes into reminders can come in handy for all sorts of situations. This tutorial shows you to turn Notes into Reminders on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Since watchOS 4 is not poised to deliver all answers to some of our lofty demands, it is time to get serious about alternative solutions to replicating a Notes-esque experience on your wrist. And as though the people behind SnipNotes had known of Apple’s continuing blind spot all along, in late 2015 the app originally designed for iOS went out on a limb and added an Apple Watch extension to its core competencies. Since then, the note taking app has gone from strength to strength and, even if only philosophical at this point, provides a standard of note sharing between iPhone and Watch that Apple themselves could hardly topple.
Let’s get the major pitfall out there first: just like Apple’s (still fictitious) Notes app on watchOS would only correspond with the original Notes app on iPhone, SnipNotes too only works and syncs inside its very own cosmos.
Accordingly, if you want to create, share or store notes (including locations, images, links) on your wrist, you are going to have to embrace SnipNotes as your default gateway for note taking. If you weren’t expecting anything else great, nothing to see here. If you thought of SnipNotes as a third-party app to read and feed into your proprietary Apple Notes, unfortunately that is still off limits.
That’s about as far as (subjective) caveats go, and with that it is time to turn our focus to the glorious meat of the app.
Take notes, Apple!SnipNotes earns its first brownie point right on launch. When activated, the app is going to ask for Touch ID authentication before breaking the seal to your data. This is not only a much appreciated safety net for when your nosy friend handles your iPhone, but generally gives most users peace of mind and a sense of privacy protection that Apple Notes is slowly getting whiff of as well.
The second brownie point is scored by an intuitive file system inside, consisting of multiple categories (such as Travel notes, Snapshots, etc.) which can all be edited, deleted or supplemented with the addition of new rubrics.
Brownie point number three - yes we’re keeping score - is conferred due to the fact that SnipNotes allows you to individually determine which categories sync their contents with your Apple Watch. It all starts with the ‘Inbox’, the overarching folder on both your devices, which functions as the initial collecting tank for new notes. From there, you can assign any file or note to a category, filter them or favorite notes to permanently pin them atop of your lists.
As for Apple Watch devotees, here's your lowdown: Notes can be created by way of voice input and Scribble. Neither might ever truly rival bigger screen note taking, however the ability to swiftly capture fleeting thoughts might be priceless to some. So talk to your wrist or jot down a few letters and before you know it, the note will be seamlessly relayed to your iPhone.
Conversely, SnipNotes on iPhone can be a great agent to storing pictures or screenshots on Apple Watch, since the app's category structure enables a folder like organization of your images. This little detail can't be stressed enough, because frankly, to this day, Photos on Apple Watch is egregiously half baked. That’s four out of five brownie points.
Suffice it to say that there is a whole lot more to discover, especially for advanced users, such as clipboard-to-note shortcuts and smart widgets. SnipNotes has clearly not spared any expenses to ultimately please every type of user, which is admirable in its intent but can sometimes produce an air of clutter to the untrained eye.
If you’re curious or in need of a notes app for your wrist, iPhone or iPad, grab SnipNotes for $0.99 on the App Store today.
A much-improved Notes application is one of my favorite features of iOS and macOS. With it, you can now draw sketches with your finger, enrich your thoughts with photos, maps and web links—and even create a checklist of to-dos.
Checklists work perfectly for stuff like grocery lists, wish lists, quick to-dos and what not, and they're interactive so you can tick off individual items to mark them as completed. And with iCloud, changes to your notes are automatically pushed to all your devices.
In this post, we're going to demonstrate how easy it is to create interactive checklists in Notes on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac and iCloud.com.
