Evernote Releases Two New iPhone Apps For Remembering People and Meals

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated February 21, 2018

It's been a busy day for the Evernote team with not just one, but two apps being pushed out into Apple's App Store.

You probably know Evernote as the note-taking and archiving utility that helps to organize our digital lives, but did you also know that it can help you remember the people you meet, as well as the meals you've eaten?

Evernote's two new apps, Evernote Hello and Evernote Food, do just that, and the best part is that they seamlessly sync with your existing Evernote account, meaning all your Hello and Food notes are available anywhere on any internet-enabled device…

How to Take Notes Via Notification Center Using ‘QuickMemo’

Jeff Benjamin ∙ October 21, 2011

Need to jot down a quick phone number, recipe, directions, or an address? If you have an iPhone 4S, you could always rely on Siri, but what if you don't?

A simple solution would be QuickMemo — a Notification Center widget for jailbroken iOS 5 devices, which allows you to jot down notes with a simple swipe of the status bar.

It's not perfect, but QuickMemo is more than adequate to function as a scratch pad. Take a look inside for a video walkthrough that shows the widget in action...

How to Delete Multiple Notes at Once on the iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated May 26, 2017

Itching for a way to delete multiple notes on your iPhone? For some strange reason, Apple omitted the ability to mass delete notes. Instead, you're relegated to deleting notes one-by-one.

That can be extremely tedious, especially if you're a heavy user of the Notes app. But never fear, the jailbreak community is here, and they've brought along with them a handy solution in the form of MultiNoteDelete...

Use ‘ToDoNotes’ to Quickly Reference Important Notes

Jeff Benjamin ∙ August 24, 2011

One of the most frustrating aspects about the stock Notes app, is that it can take too much effort to reference your notes in a quick manner.

Say, for instance, you're shopping at the grocery store, and you want to quickly reference the shopping list stored on your Notes app. Doing so can prove to be more time consuming that it needs to be.

Enter ToDoNotes, a recently created jailbreak tweak that gives you the ability to paste your most important notes right on your Spotlight page...

NotificationShower: Customizable Text Field for Your Notification Center

Cody Lee ∙ Updated December 17, 2017

It's about time we started seeing some more Notification Center widgets roll in. After a few weeks of silence on the iOS 5 jailbreak front, iPhoneItalia has tipped us off that BigBoss has set up a new iOS 5 repository with multiple new entries.

We've already told you about ScreenLocker, the Orientation Lock button for your Notification Center. Now we'll go over NotificationShower. This widget is very similar to SBSettings' Fast Notes toggle, as it allows you to quickly jot down reminders...

Glue: Jailbreak Tweak Lets You Share Text with Pastie From the Notes App

Cody Lee ∙ Updated March 27, 2017

Pastie.org is a place where you can type or paste anything. There's no user names or profiles, what you type or paste gets placed in chronological order with the other entries. If you're a fan of the service, you're going to love this next jailbreak tweak. Glue enables you to paste content to Pastie.org directly from the iOS Notes application.

Now instead having to open up Safari or another 3rd party application to access the Pastie service, you can simply upload from your Notes app with a single tap. This could save frequent users quite a few steps...

NotesFont brings iOS 4.2-esque Font Features to the iPhone Notes App

Jeff Benjamin ∙ November 3, 2010

Although I'm not a developer, I have been able to play around extensively with iOS 4.2 on my iPad. Let me just reiterate the sentiments that it is indeed worth the hype. With new features like AirPlay, it's understandable that that ability to switch your fonts in the Notes app is playing second fiddle to all of the other enhancements.

Although iOS 4.2 is right around the corner, Apple has been one-upped with the release of the jailbreak tweak, NotesFont. Not only does this tweak bring the ability to change fonts in the native Notes app, it offers a lot more fonts than what Apple is planning to offer...

How to Sync Your iPhone Notes with Your Gmail Account

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated March 27, 2018

You probably already know you can sync your Google emails, calendars and contacts with your iPhone using Google Sync. But do you know you can also sync your iPhone notes with your Gmail account?

The only requirement for being able to sync your notes with Gmail is that your iPhone be updated to iOS 4. When you set up your Gmail account on your iPhone, you will now have the option to sync your notes.

If you have several Gmail account set up on your iPhone, you will be able to sync your notes to specific accounts. In the top left corner of the Notes.app, a new button will appear letting you choose what account you want to sync with.

One downside to this is that it's a one-way sync, which means that you can only sync your notes from your iPhone to your Gmail account. You can't sync from Gmail notes to your iPhone.
