Love this. I didn't know you could password a note! Thank you. Now Dec 2020 I have ditched my scanning apps and use notes to scan instead. It captures the edges much better than my scanning apps. Once scanned I can; keep it in the note, save it to a file, export it, save it as a PDF and I'm sure there's more. It's AWESOME!

Undo exists. On older iOS versions, you could shake the phone to undo. Now you can swipe to the right with three fingers to undo (three-finger swipe to the left to redo). It's not word/paragraph level, but it's better than no undo.
I really like apple notes and use it a lot. What I miss is the ability to color label my notes or rate them with stars or importance. Do you have any advice on this?
Great video. Finally, a simple note-taking app to replace Circus Ponies Notebook (that I loved before they shut it down). Never realized the power and simplicity and synching of Apple Notes.

I'm spoiled using Apple Notes. The integration with Apple's OS features on day 1 of new releases is an important reason I like to use the default app when possible.
Lucas Acosta That’s a huge benefit of using this app. There is absolutely no need to ask the developers to incorporate the new features from a new iOS version or to fully support all the capabilities of the Apple Pencil. There is no waiting and wondering compared to other notetaking apps.

How can I get my notes from my iphone to my macbook? These particular ones have photos and videos and notes. Thanks, I like that you get right to the point,
scott goering Instead of Notebooks, Apple Notes has Folders to organize notes. And unfortunately Notes does not have tags. It’s worth the trade off for me, but it’s up to you! Thanks for chiming in!
Really helpful video!! Caused me to experiment with converting from Evernote to Notes. In the past I have used both for some weird reason! Conversion complete and everything is working great! Thank you!
Yes! Love that feature. I personally use Dropbox to scan all my documents in... but that's only because I'm already paying for Dropbox for work. Thanks for adding that!

Besides syncing with other iOS devices, Notes for iOS syncs through iCloud with macOS Notes as well. Your notes will be in Notes on all your Apple devices no matter where you entered them. I prefer to enter notes on my Mac's keyboard, where I'm faster and more accurate.The bigger display helps when you have hundreds of long notes too. I think of Notes on my Mac as my "Notes Central."
Hey Nadine. I would probably keep those separated into two different Folders. You can also create Folders inside of Folders, if you want sub-categories.
Hey Greenseasun! Have you found it yet? When writing a note, a new to-do item is on the bottom of the iPhone screen. Be sure you've updated to the latest iOS software.
Great video Lucas, I have a question for you. The notes app fills my needs almost perfectly, and I have been using it daily for 2 years now. Just simple app that works, is user friendly, has hierarchies, works across all devices, and has search option that works well. However, the app has been very slow for the last 2 months,(super slow) and it seems likes it doesn't handle all the stuff I have there. What do you recommend Lucas ? What note taking app do you reccommend I should go for next ? Some app that has those features (or similar )like I mentioned here above. Thanks Ari
Hi Ari! How many notes do you have? (I have 3,000 and my Apple Notes is still very fast.) Is it slow on all of your devices or just one of your devices? Since Notes is very simple, the only way to reset it is to erase the slow device and restore from backup. I still use Notes, and haven't needed anything else. :) Good luck!
@@laa8388 Thank you for your speedy respond. It works! Thanks One stupid question, where can I see how many notes I have ? Would be interesting to know. Another thing, I have been binge watching your videos all this week,(great stuff ) ( It has helped a lot), and I have heard you say that you have tried lots of note taking apps, so you must have export/import your notes into other apps when you are trying them out, right? Like I said before, the apple notes app, fills my needs perfectly when it comes to basic note taking, tasks, scanning and etc. But I'm looking forward to try other notes app for other reasons ( work, journaling etc) So the question is, can I somehow export all my notes into other app (Evernote, notion, etc) or do I have to begin from scratch every time when I try new app. Best regards, Ari
Apple needs to add mind mapping to notes. Don’t Change anything just add a mind mapping feature and have it work with notes. That would be insanely dope!
Who makes your black jacket? I really like it. How do you get youtube videos to display as thumbnails in Notes instead of text links? Also, I trying to ween myself off of third-party apps and use Apple's apps as much as possible. I like to keep as much of my apps in-house as possible. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hey Vidform! Thanks! This jacket is by Aspesi. Had it for years. Worth the investment. Ah, in order for thumbnails to appear, you have to SHARE from the TH-cam app and tap the Notes app to share directly from TH-cam to Notes. In other words, don't copy/paste the link. I also use in-house apps when possible. But Fantastical, for example, is a wonderful 3rd party app that makes it worth paying for. Best of luck!
Thank you for this. I just subscribed to evernote a couple of weeks ago, bought into the hype. Then I'm realizing that everything is in their proprietary format and I can't just send notes unless someone has the event app too. And...... you're video helped me realize that apple notes, which I've been using for years but never really looked into the newer features. I'm going back to apple notes now.
Hey, I am a Evernote user since the beginning, and one thing about NOTES I do not like is APPLE. If you choose to leave the IOS arena for one reason or anther, say bye bye to Notes. I just came back to Apple after 14 years away, all my notes from 14 years ago are still there.
Hey Lyric! Glad this could help you make that decision! Yes all tools are proprietary in some way, unless you go with something like SimpleNote, but then you lose out on some conveniences like sharing. Welcome back!
My wish list: 1) To be able to highlight text and drawn diagrams, and stylize to change color on iPad. e.g GoodNotes app 2) For daily work meetings, to be able to record audio which is synchronized with what you hand writing in order to just click anywhere to playback from that position. e.g Notability app 3) To be able to convert hand written text into digital. e.g Notability app 4) To be able to change the size of the erasing tool. 5) Document scan to be flexible (follow the shape of a bend of the paper) in order to straighten it e.g Docr pro app 6) To be able to select a drawn diagram and resize and also rotate it. E.g GoodNotes app
These are all great! But I would consider a lot of these “power user” features that Apple probably won’t implement into their free Notes app. Those apps are great, and are the right choice for people who use Notes for heavier types of work.
Thank you, MemoryOf TheFuture! This is really dumb, but they hid it. You now have to tap "Print" first. Then... secret... pinch to zoom into the preview icon. THEN you'll see the "Share" button at the top right. At that point, any option you choose will send the note into whatever app in PDF format. 🍻
i have lots and lots of notes that i saved in my iphone x .. the problem is that i search for a note in my iphone x but it doesn't appear in the search bar though it is really exists in notes .... can you tell me why ??

I agree that the Notes app has come a long way. I use it as a scratch pad to quickly jot things down. However the organization within the app is still clunky and I don’t like it for taking long meeting notes or drafting. Bear is my favorite notes app for this type of use. Definitely look into it. Their development has been a bit slow but the UI is amazing. Also, Bear has a variety of themes (something Apple Notes doesn’t have) which makes it better for taking notes in different environments.
great video. I like you and the audio quality and video quality. I'd love to hear your "take" on NOTION. I understand NOTION is NOT a note app but it is outrageous and I use it everyday X10
Appreciate it EDUTAINMENT! I haven’t spent much time in Notion, probably because it’s “outrageous”! I’ve heard great things, but I tend to go for “fewer” options and bells and whistles. Can’t guarantee I’ll make a video on it... you never know. Thanks again.
I was going to ask about what to use in place of Evernote's web clipper, but I see that using the Share function is pretty close... it still won't let me save portions of a web page like clipper, but that's a small issue. A bigger issue (and the one keeping me in Evernote, at least for a little while longer) is that Evernote has a Windows version. Yes, it's clunky and a pain to use, but at least it's a freestanding app. I know I can use the iCloud version of Notes, but that's a bit of a pain. Still... Notes is very tempting.... ! Thanks for the good video. Keep 'em coming.
Hey thanks Bill. You are on point for all accounts. Both of those reasons keep Evernote as a better pick for some people. In iOS 13, Notes even gained image OCR for search ability, something I've been hoping for. Stick with the tool that works for you. 🙏
We are so close to being able to write and watch a TH-cam video at the same time in the Apple Notes app in iOS 13. We can press and hold on the TH-cam link and it will actually play the video but we can’t write at the same time.
Let me know how it goes. I typically can't remember but 10% of meeting topics, so taking notes as I go ensures the client gets everything they asked for. 💯
Yeah this is a tough one. Your only recourse is to shake the iPad/iPhone to "undo" your last action. But if that was too long ago, then unfortunately you cannot get it back. We've had this question several times, it sucks!
I currently use a spiral paper notebook to keep a running to do list, and I occasionally bring forward incomplete tasks. Can I do this in notes? I also keep one spiral notebook for notes about my main activity, photography. Can I keep this in Notes. Can I keep notes sorted by date? Do you do a fundamentals on how to use notes? Thanks. Geoff
Hey Geoff! We don't have a fundamentals video on Notes. However since you're coming from paper, I think it would be a good start, because other apps typically get more complicated from here. To bring forward incomplete tasks, I would just copy/paste them into a new note. For photography, you could create a "Folder" in Notes for all of your photography notes. For sorting, you can choose by Date Edited, Date Created, or alphabetically by Title. However you cannot manually sort notes. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video. I am a User of the Apple Note App as well. I love the many things that you can do with it. If I were not a user of this App, after listening to your presentation, I would download it right away... I also use to use Evernote. But I can truly say that I did not find it as user-friendly as I find in the Apple Note.. Thanks again...
Great to hear from you, Steven. Thanks for chiming in! Yes, Evernote has more features, but Apple Notes can do most things for most people. Thanks again!
Hi Jill! Unfortunately not. I use Soulver on the Mac for quick math. Soulver currently isn't available for iPhone, but that's the app I've used for years before they removed it from the App Store. Good luck!
Yes! A welcome feature... but in my experience it's not as good as Evernote's. 😢 Evernote also did a great job of reading handwriting in images. Yet to be beaten! But I still prefer to use Notes.
shania marx Great questions, but unfortunately no other options. Apple Notes is fast and simple because it doesn’t have options like this. So if you’re needing more, then you would move to something like Evernote, Bear, or Pages. Good luck!
I have more than 1,700 notes and it works perfectly for me. What I think would make it even more useful is the following: 1. Grouping notes in thumbnails, images, and colors: I find it a lot better to group notes in bigger icons or shapes that make it easier to navigate through the application. That's a feature that I saw in another application and I have been waiting to see it in Apple notes for a long time! 2. Desktop Version: What I find really productive for me is the ability to switch between the mobile & desktop (through iCloud.com) and always review my notes and to-do lists. I think a desktop application would definitely be a better choice with better speed and user experience. 3. Passwords: They are separately set, and they are not the same as the iCloud account pass, which made it difficult for me to set the password for each period of time and remember it! Thank god I have the fingerprint options, otherwise, I would have been in a huge problem!! 4. Duplicates: On the day I decided to move all my notes to iCloud I have seen many improvements, but one great issue with many duplicate notes, especially with the old ones. So I hope Apple improves the transfer of notes.
Hi Jaffer! I agree with all of these. I know that Notes will likely stay very simple, and not have too many changes. That's the bittersweet truth about Apple's software. It's simple and fast, but they're not going to do many changes like other apps.
Lucas Acosta Exactly, I know their changes are very limited & usually slow in implementation, but let’s hope for the best. BTW, I should have mentioned that Notes & Voice Memos app are among the main reasons why I’m stuck with Apple and not changing to any other brand in the market 😶
Is the pen feature only for the Apple pen? You know the one that shows you can highlight or change your text color? I would love to use that feature on my IPhone but I do not have the pen.
I have a question. Can you take a selection and collapse it into a button? My note are for travel locations. I want to collapse the photos and details within one note so I can see the whole list of locations, and click on a location to expand the details. Is that possible. Thanks!
Thanks, great video! Please explain how to back up the notes I have from my iphone SE to a thumb drive or external drive or even my old iMac. No one has covered this in a way that makes sense and actually works correctly! Thanks in advance.!
Since most people using Notes backup via iCloud, I'm not sure of a particular "proven" way. It looks as if you have to export each note one at a time into a PDF. But I haven't done any research to see if there are other tools out there.
Thanks! I've been using apple notes & thinking about switching to evernote or onenote, but now I might just stick with what I have. Are you using apple reminders? I mainly use that for lists & reminders instead of notes, but wondering if you use notes for everything instead of both apps. Thank you!
Hi Lindsay! I typically use Things for my important tasks. When I have a list like for shopping to prepping for an event (trip) I just use a note inside of Apple Notes.
If you are using an apple pencil to write your notes and you need to add something that you forgot , is there a way to insert space into already written text ?
Hey Karla! Unfortunately there is not. Notability has something close to this, where you could "select" and "cut" to move a section, which would create a space, and then you could write in the new space.
Hey Jaz_Lbrt! Bear is a fantastic app. I typically use it for writing pieces and scripting. I stick with Apple Notes for its simplicity and the iCloud sharing functions.
It seems that evernote removed the ability to export "notebooks" to import them in other apps. It does only export alle notes as a single note so importing them to apple notes will insert them unorganized.
@@Rikco.337 Wow. Can't help but think that they did that to lock people in. I am usually not that cynical, but there's no reason to not allow the export of Notebooks. Crazy.
Hi, I would like to ask you about taking the phontos to macos notes (2:34). I cannot do it because taking the photo from my iphone is not listed in macos notes. I can just add photos from macos. Do you know what set up can correct it? iPhone/icloud? Thanks.
Just play with Notion and it is an interesting tool. Honestly, I do think I can say it is an Evernote replacement. Like you, I am now moving to Apple Notes because...well it is easy to use. As I said, Apple needs to get on the ball and add better OCR, highlight search text, reminders like Evernote and business card scanning.
I don’t think we’ll ever get reminders or business card scanning. I just use Dropbox for document scanning. And yes I really miss Evernote’s awesome OCR for handwriting. Agreed, the simplicity beats the other features for me.
I realize that this is an older post but wanted to post a question in case it got picked up. I was using Notes as my default app as it USED TO sync beautifully across all my devices no matter where the note was entered, but for some time, the syncing has stopped. So, the most useful function of my Notes app has been broken. I suspect that an OS update broke this but I haven't found a resolution and wonder if someone else has.
Hey Chuck! This may be a little tedious, but on the device(s) that are having trouble, I would first sign out of iCloud completely, then sign back in. That's fixed almost all of the problems we've had with iCloud syncing.
Have you noticed there is no Apple Reminders share extension in the Apple Notes app?We can’t create a reminder for a note. There is an extension in the Safari and Maps app but none in the Notes app. The Apple Notes and Reminders app should be working together.
Completely agree. Baffled that there's no integration between those two apps. That's when I just make a reminder in Things, which appears in my calendar app (Fantastical).
When you turn your iPad into landscape mode and you tap on the icon to make a note full screen does your note fade slightly before going back to normal?
Been using only Apple Notes since I dropped Evernote. However: is Notes also good as "archive" or repository, or is it good to use Keep It or Eaglefiler? Or is Notes good enough for that aswell?
Hey Thanks Darwin. Yes, we should do a Things episode! I know that Reminders in iOS 13 got some improvements, but I haven't spent much time in it since I use things. Stay tuned and we'll try to do an episode. ✌️ Thanks for watching!
Hey I have a question. I love the Notes app. My current mail server did a recent migration of their new mail server. All of my notes on my iPhone disappeared. I upgraded the new mail app and my notes are in there. I can’t get them back into my Notes app. Do you have any thoughts. Thanks
Hey! Hmm, that's a difficult one to troubleshoot. Have you tried logging into your iCloud.com account to see if you can "Restore Notes"? Otherwise I'd probably call AppleCare and see if they can give you guidance. We could also dig deeper here at Foojee, at our standard billing rates, if AppleCare can't help. Thanks!
Help me out here! I tend to print from notes but the default font is too large and there is NO WAY to decrease the font for printing. A one page note when printed converts to a 3 page document and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Can you help?
Hey Stacy! You're right, cannot change font. I would copy/paste the note into another app like Pages (free) or Word and make formatting adjustments for printing. Good luck!
and yet for some reason, it cant seem to hold its text color......always fades when I close the note and reopen it.....black text turns grey and red turns light red
Correct! There are several options there, depending on what type of writing app you're looking to use. Google Keep has a Watch app, and so does Bear. Of course, Evernote does too!
Is there anyway to add lines to the screen to keep hand written notes straighter.? And does notes convert hand writing to text? Looking for these two things in and app...
Hey Gordy! Yes, the lines feature is pretty hidden. On any note you can tap the "Share" button and you'll see an option for "Lines and Grids" where you can add and then remove lines. Notes cannot convert writing to text. I'm sure there are lots of options out there, but for the occasional scenario where I need something beefier, I use Notability, and that has the writing conversion. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the video! Is there anyway to create indented bullet points under the bullets or numbers you’ve already made? I want a quick way to indent. Thanks!
Hello, thanks for replying! I guess I should have specified that I’m often using my iPad without an external keyboard. Any tricks with the keyboard on the screen?
Terrific video, thanks! Am a fan too. Although (and correct me if I am wrong) export options are kind of weak in Apple Notes, compared, say, to a monster like Bear? I don't think it allows export / save as to text or rtf. Any idea if the new updates will fix that?
accentontheoff thanks so much! Glad to have you around. You’re right, the export options are limited. Wonder if Apple will ever do it honestly. Maybe other apps have an “Import from Notes” feature?
Lucas Acosta Thanks for the reply was worried I may have missed something obvious. Never know. Will look it up, might be a solution. Also am hoping the new update adds some features.
Thank you for the video. Found out so helpful. I was using Microsoft OneNote but find Notes so much faster and user friendly. Other than iPhone, I only use PCs so this helps me cross platforms.
I'm not a fan of Evernote. I loved using apple notes until recently. I started trying to do my homework in apple notes and exporting as a pdf to turn it in. It would be fantastic but the pdf ends up being wonky, cutting off my handwriting when starting a new page as well as cutting off the side sometimes.
You're so right, Brian! I just tried it, and even though Siri acts like I'm creating a note inside a folder, it doesn't actually happen. This must be something that Siri is not capable of yet. BTW, what I tried was "Add a note to X folder."
Is there any other app with a similar share function? I don't have an iPhone anymore, and I really miss that option to share notes and update in real time! Thanks!
How do you make it default to go to 1 note you use the most? It always opens something I don't need access to at the time. I've played with the settings and lock screen, resume last note, create new note but it always goes back to a note I don't need to open. Or can it default to my entire Folder list?
@@laa8388 Thanks for the quick reply. I have pinned notes in each folder so they appear at the top- it's just too bad you can't open the same folder you use the most frequently.
Hey Dane! I love Notability. Apple Notes is what I use 95% of the time, but for some meetings where I know I'll be drawing diagrams, I like Notability's features. Also nice that it has voice recording.
Thanks Lucas, very interesting. And there i was trying to keep things simple! OK I will do the same ... i love Notability, but am more and more wanting to do things on the fly, and the syncing between phone, pad and laptop is hard to beat ... the one thing Notes cant do is when you’re in pencil mode and with highlighting of text this is one thing i do all the time in Notability ... truth be said, using the pencil in notes after notability is pretty second rate. But still I am planning to use Notes for go to things and as you say for larger docs stay with Notability .... fund and games!

Good to know what it does..... But sure would have been nice to see how it’s done!
Most important - need backup / restore functionality. Especially at the sentence and paragraph level.

Yes! Love that feature. I personally use Dropbox to scan all my documents in... but that's only because I'm already paying for Dropbox for work. Thanks for adding that!
How do you do that?
I'd be interested to know.
Rhonda this video shows you how to do it. He is kind of hard to understand due to his accent but it shows “how to so that makes up for it. th-cam.com/video/1ipK4ECO6vs/w-d-xo.html
Besides syncing with other iOS devices, Notes for iOS syncs through iCloud with macOS Notes as well. Your notes will be in Notes on all your Apple devices no matter where you entered them. I prefer to enter notes on my Mac's keyboard, where I'm faster and more accurate.The bigger display helps when you have hundreds of long notes too. I think of Notes on my Mac as my "Notes Central."
Panglos Agreed! I prefer the Mac for long-form work. Thanks for watching!
I wish they would’ve added an audio recording feature in the app instead of adding the Voice Memos app to the iPad.
Patrick it would be handy - but use the memo app then share that with notes
Patrick and a reminders feature.
I song write and journal a lot, how do you guys organize these categories?
Hey Nadine. I would probably keep those separated into two different Folders. You can also create Folders inside of Folders, if you want sub-categories.
Awesome thanks great video. I also use Apple notes extensively.
Thanks petluv214!
petluv214 Same!!!
Such great tips! I wish I could figure out how to make a to-do list like you did though!
Hey Greenseasun! Have you found it yet? When writing a note, a new to-do item is on the bottom of the iPhone screen. Be sure you've updated to the latest iOS software.
Great video Lucas,
I have a question for you.
The notes app fills my needs almost perfectly, and I have been using it daily for 2 years now.
Just simple app that works, is user friendly, has hierarchies, works across all devices, and has search option that works well.
However, the app has been very slow for the last 2 months,(super slow) and it seems likes it doesn't handle all the stuff I have there.
What do you recommend Lucas ? What note taking app do you reccommend I should go for next ?
Some app that has those features (or similar )like I mentioned here above.
Thanks
Ari
Hi Ari! How many notes do you have? (I have 3,000 and my Apple Notes is still very fast.) Is it slow on all of your devices or just one of your devices? Since Notes is very simple, the only way to reset it is to erase the slow device and restore from backup. I still use Notes, and haven't needed anything else. :) Good luck!
@@laa8388
Thank you for your speedy respond. It works! Thanks
One stupid question, where can I see how many notes I have ? Would be interesting to know.
Another thing, I have been binge watching your videos all this week,(great stuff ) ( It has helped a lot), and I have heard you say that you have tried lots of note taking apps, so you must have export/import your notes into other apps when you are trying them out, right?
Like I said before, the apple notes app, fills my needs perfectly when it comes to basic note taking, tasks, scanning and etc.
But I'm looking forward to try other notes app for other reasons ( work, journaling etc)
So the question is, can I somehow export all my notes into other app (Evernote, notion, etc) or do I have to begin from scratch every time when I try new app.
Best regards,
Ari
Apple needs to add mind mapping to notes. Don’t Change anything just add a mind mapping feature and have it work with notes. That would be insanely dope!
That has my vote! But it'll probably never happen. That would have to be a separate app, which I have yet to find one that I really like.
@@laa8388 Scapple is great (Makers of Scriverner) and iThoughts is great too! Check them out. (If you haven't already.)
@@rayzrsharp I used iThoughts years ago, so I'll try them both out. Thanks!
Who makes your black jacket? I really like it. How do you get youtube videos to display as thumbnails in Notes instead of text links? Also, I trying to ween myself off of third-party apps and use Apple's apps as much as possible. I like to keep as much of my apps in-house as possible. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hey Vidform! Thanks! This jacket is by Aspesi. Had it for years. Worth the investment. Ah, in order for thumbnails to appear, you have to SHARE from the TH-cam app and tap the Notes app to share directly from TH-cam to Notes. In other words, don't copy/paste the link. I also use in-house apps when possible. But Fantastical, for example, is a wonderful 3rd party app that makes it worth paying for. Best of luck!
Thank you for this. I just subscribed to evernote a couple of weeks ago, bought into the hype. Then I'm realizing that everything is in their proprietary format and I can't just send notes unless someone has the event app too. And...... you're video helped me realize that apple notes, which I've been using for years but never really looked into the newer features. I'm going back to apple notes now.
Hey, I am a Evernote user since the beginning, and one thing about NOTES I do not like is APPLE. If you choose to leave the IOS arena
for one reason or anther, say bye bye to Notes. I just came back to Apple after 14 years away, all my notes from 14 years ago are still there.
Hey Lyric! Glad this could help you make that decision! Yes all tools are proprietary in some way, unless you go with something like SimpleNote, but then you lose out on some conveniences like sharing. Welcome back!
My wish list: 1) To be able to highlight text and drawn diagrams, and stylize to change color on iPad. e.g GoodNotes app 2) For daily work meetings, to be able to record audio which is synchronized with what you hand writing in order to just click anywhere to playback from that position. e.g Notability app 3) To be able to convert hand written text into digital. e.g Notability app 4) To be able to change the size of the erasing tool. 5) Document scan to be flexible (follow the shape of a bend of the paper) in order to straighten it e.g Docr pro app 6) To be able to select a drawn diagram and resize and also rotate it. E.g GoodNotes app
These are all great! But I would consider a lot of these “power user” features that Apple probably won’t implement into their free Notes app. Those apps are great, and are the right choice for people who use Notes for heavier types of work.
Awesome vid. Could you please let me know how to turn notes into PDFs? Eversince updating to iOS13 I couldn't find the option anymore.
Thank you, MemoryOf TheFuture! This is really dumb, but they hid it. You now have to tap "Print" first. Then... secret... pinch to zoom into the preview icon. THEN you'll see the "Share" button at the top right. At that point, any option you choose will send the note into whatever app in PDF format. 🍻
Very useful info. Thank you👍🏾
Great video! I have been a basic note user but can take it to the next level now! 🤙🏼
Awesome, Hayden! Keep crushing it! 🤙
i have lots and lots of notes that i saved in my iphone x .. the problem is that i search for a note in my iphone x but it doesn't appear in the search bar though it is really exists in notes .... can you tell me why ??
Wow I’m really behind I really like using the Notes app and this is going to make it so much better. Thanks for this video.
Thanks Jenn. You’re welcome!
Shopping and appts. Super use for grandpa’s!!!🇺🇸
jerry vincent Wayne Large What type of device (that you can hold in your hand) let’s you type in how many notes you want (For example “1,000,000”) and then you click on Enter and it will give you 1,000,000 notes in 5 seconds? It’s a small device btw. IT IS NOT MUSICAL NOTES BTW!!
I agree that the Notes app has come a long way. I use it as a scratch pad to quickly jot things down. However the organization within the app is still clunky and I don’t like it for taking long meeting notes or drafting. Bear is my favorite notes app for this type of use. Definitely look into it. Their development has been a bit slow but the UI is amazing. Also, Bear has a variety of themes (something Apple Notes doesn’t have) which makes it better for taking notes in different environments.
Noted! (wow, pun not originally intended) I try to keep my "number" of notes apps to a minimum, but I need to give Bear a college try. Thanks, Andrea!
great video. I like you and the audio quality and video quality. I'd love to hear your "take" on NOTION. I understand NOTION is NOT a note app but it is outrageous and I use it everyday X10
Appreciate it EDUTAINMENT! I haven’t spent much time in Notion, probably because it’s “outrageous”! I’ve heard great things, but I tend to go for “fewer” options and bells and whistles. Can’t guarantee I’ll make a video on it... you never know. Thanks again.
true, I no longer need a paper journal because I write in notes! If I ever lose my phone I can restore my notes and find them again on a computer
Bingo.
Notes is a main reason why I go back to apple. Nothing in android world except Huawei integrates like iPhone notes does. Search in a sec....
I was going to ask about what to use in place of Evernote's web clipper, but I see that using the Share function is pretty close... it still won't let me save portions of a web page like clipper, but that's a small issue. A bigger issue (and the one keeping me in Evernote, at least for a little while longer) is that Evernote has a Windows version. Yes, it's clunky and a pain to use, but at least it's a freestanding app. I know I can use the iCloud version of Notes, but that's a bit of a pain. Still... Notes is very tempting.... ! Thanks for the good video. Keep 'em coming.
Hey thanks Bill. You are on point for all accounts. Both of those reasons keep Evernote as a better pick for some people. In iOS 13, Notes even gained image OCR for search ability, something I've been hoping for. Stick with the tool that works for you. 🙏
good info to know. thanks buddy
We are so close to being able to write and watch a TH-cam video at the same time in the Apple Notes app in iOS 13. We can press and hold on the TH-cam link and it will actually play the video but we can’t write at the same time.
I never used any kind note taking app, but after watching this vlog, I’ll try it in my meetings and see how it goes. Thnx.
Let me know how it goes. I typically can't remember but 10% of meeting topics, so taking notes as I go ensures the client gets everything they asked for. 💯
Lucas Acosta I haven’t quite converted over since I’m struggling with learning something new & taking quick accurate notes as I go. We’ll see.
How do you undo a an erroneous cut of an entry that is selected. My big fingers sometimes touch the wrong operation, Great video. Thanks for the tips.
Yeah this is a tough one. Your only recourse is to shake the iPad/iPhone to "undo" your last action. But if that was too long ago, then unfortunately you cannot get it back. We've had this question several times, it sucks!
I currently use a spiral paper notebook to keep a running to do list, and I occasionally bring forward incomplete tasks. Can I do this in notes? I also keep one spiral notebook for notes about my main activity, photography. Can I keep this in Notes. Can I keep notes sorted by date? Do you do a fundamentals on how to use notes? Thanks. Geoff
Hey Geoff! We don't have a fundamentals video on Notes. However since you're coming from paper, I think it would be a good start, because other apps typically get more complicated from here. To bring forward incomplete tasks, I would just copy/paste them into a new note. For photography, you could create a "Folder" in Notes for all of your photography notes. For sorting, you can choose by Date Edited, Date Created, or alphabetically by Title. However you cannot manually sort notes. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video. I am a User of the Apple Note App as well. I love the many things that you can do with it. If I were not a user of this App, after listening to your presentation, I would download it right away... I also use to use Evernote. But I can truly say that I did not find it as user-friendly as I find in the Apple Note.. Thanks again...
Great to hear from you, Steven. Thanks for chiming in! Yes, Evernote has more features, but Apple Notes can do most things for most people. Thanks again!
Is there a way I can sum up (add) numbers, like for budgeting and stuff? Thanks for the helpful tips!
Hi Jill! Unfortunately not. I use Soulver on the Mac for quick math. Soulver currently isn't available for iPhone, but that's the app I've used for years before they removed it from the App Store. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your videos. This one was right on. Thank you
With iOS 13, You can now search for text in the images of notes!
Yes! A welcome feature... but in my experience it's not as good as Evernote's. 😢 Evernote also did a great job of reading handwriting in images. Yet to be beaten! But I still prefer to use Notes.
Peter Schorn I like that too
I didn’t know about pinning notes. Thank you
Nice. Thanks
Tell me one thing
1. Is there numbering levels like 1, 1.1, 1.1.1,.....?
2. Folder system?
3. Easy cut paste option?
shania marx Great questions, but unfortunately no other options. Apple Notes is fast and simple because it doesn’t have options like this. So if you’re needing more, then you would move to something like Evernote, Bear, or Pages. Good luck!
I wish you have a video how organize your notes 📝 by folders etc
Ok, thank you Crystal! May have a future episode that does that, stay tuned!

Just a reminder to take your notes
I have more than 1,700 notes and it works perfectly for me. What I think would make it even more useful is the following:
1. Grouping notes in thumbnails, images, and colors: I find it a lot better to group notes in bigger icons or shapes that make it easier to navigate through the application. That's a feature that I saw in another application and I have been waiting to see it in Apple notes for a long time!
2. Desktop Version: What I find really productive for me is the ability to switch between the mobile & desktop (through iCloud.com) and always review my notes and to-do lists. I think a desktop application would definitely be a better choice with better speed and user experience.
3. Passwords: They are separately set, and they are not the same as the iCloud account pass, which made it difficult for me to set the password for each period of time and remember it! Thank god I have the fingerprint options, otherwise, I would have been in a huge problem!!
4. Duplicates: On the day I decided to move all my notes to iCloud I have seen many improvements, but one great issue with many duplicate notes, especially with the old ones. So I hope Apple improves the transfer of notes.
Hi Jaffer! I agree with all of these. I know that Notes will likely stay very simple, and not have too many changes. That's the bittersweet truth about Apple's software. It's simple and fast, but they're not going to do many changes like other apps.
Lucas Acosta Exactly, I know their changes are very limited & usually slow in implementation, but let’s hope for the best.
BTW, I should have mentioned that Notes & Voice Memos app are among the main reasons why I’m stuck with Apple and not changing to any other brand in the market 😶
Is the pen feature only for the Apple pen? You know the one that shows you can highlight or change your text color? I would love to use that feature on my IPhone but I do not have the pen.
Correct that's only for iPad. :(
I have a question. Can you take a selection and collapse it into a button? My note are for travel locations. I want to collapse the photos and details within one note so I can see the whole list of locations, and click on a location to expand the details. Is that possible. Thanks!
Hi sproesser1! unfortunately you cannot collapse items inside of a note. Apple wants to keep the formatting of notes as simple as possible.
Needs to have an UNDO feature...a big downfall not having this.
On an iOS device you can shake the device to "undo"
Lucas Acosta oh great thanks For that!

Thanks, great video! Please explain how to back up the notes I have from my iphone SE to a thumb drive or external drive or even my old iMac. No one has covered this in a way that makes sense and actually works correctly! Thanks in advance.!
Since most people using Notes backup via iCloud, I'm not sure of a particular "proven" way. It looks as if you have to export each note one at a time into a PDF. But I haven't done any research to see if there are other tools out there.
Curious sir if you use Reminders as well or just Notes?
Hey! I just use Notes for almost everything. For tasks I use Things :)
Thanks! I've been using apple notes & thinking about switching to evernote or onenote, but now I might just stick with what I have. Are you using apple reminders? I mainly use that for lists & reminders instead of notes, but wondering if you use notes for everything instead of both apps. Thank you!
Hi Lindsay! I typically use Things for my important tasks. When I have a list like for shopping to prepping for an event (trip) I just use a note inside of Apple Notes.
Great vid - is there a way to see the notes I make on my phone on the PC without having to go to iCloud ?
Thanks Paul! Unfortunately there still isn't a native Apple Notes app for Windows. iCloud.com is the only option.
Really helpful Bro..
If you are using an apple pencil to write your notes and you need to add something that you forgot , is there a way to insert space into already written text ?
Hey Karla! Unfortunately there is not. Notability has something close to this, where you could "select" and "cut" to move a section, which would create a space, and then you could write in the new space.
Can you change the size of font? My print-outs are always over-sized and go beyond boarder.
You cannot unfortunately. Need to paste into another app to have options.
I agree with you Sir 👍🏼,
Hey, what do you think about Bear ? I switched from apple notes to this app several months ago and I really like it.
Hey Jaz_Lbrt! Bear is a fantastic app. I typically use it for writing pieces and scripting. I stick with Apple Notes for its simplicity and the iCloud sharing functions.
Very helpful to let go of Evernote which I am using for many years now..
Glad it could help, Enrico!
It seems that evernote removed the ability to export "notebooks" to import them in other apps. It does only export alle notes as a single note so importing them to apple notes will insert them unorganized.
@@Rikco.337 Wow. Can't help but think that they did that to lock people in. I am usually not that cynical, but there's no reason to not allow the export of Notebooks. Crazy.
Hi, I would like to ask you about taking the phontos to macos notes (2:34). I cannot do it because taking the photo from my iphone is not listed in macos notes. I can just add photos from macos. Do you know what set up can correct it? iPhone/icloud? Thanks.
Just play with Notion and it is an interesting tool. Honestly, I do think I can say it is an Evernote replacement. Like you, I am now moving to Apple Notes because...well it is easy to use. As I said, Apple needs to get on the ball and add better OCR, highlight search text, reminders like Evernote and business card scanning.
I don’t think we’ll ever get reminders or business card scanning. I just use Dropbox for document scanning. And yes I really miss Evernote’s awesome OCR for handwriting. Agreed, the simplicity beats the other features for me.
Does anyone use Apple Reminders for reminders? How does it work with Notes?
I realize that this is an older post but wanted to post a question in case it got picked up. I was using Notes as my default app as it USED TO sync beautifully across all my devices no matter where the note was entered, but for some time, the syncing has stopped. So, the most useful function of my Notes app has been broken. I suspect that an OS update broke this but I haven't found a resolution and wonder if someone else has.
Hey Chuck! This may be a little tedious, but on the device(s) that are having trouble, I would first sign out of iCloud completely, then sign back in. That's fixed almost all of the problems we've had with iCloud syncing.
@@laa8388 I appreciate the response.
Have you noticed there is no Apple Reminders share extension in the Apple Notes app?We can’t create a reminder for a note.
There is an extension in the Safari and Maps app but none in the Notes app.
The Apple Notes and Reminders app should be working together.
Completely agree. Baffled that there's no integration between those two apps. That's when I just make a reminder in Things, which appears in my calendar app (Fantastical).
Nice content! Where is the styles option? I cannot find it in my notes on my phone
Thanks J! While you have the iPhone keyboard up, you'll see a button that looks like "Aa" which shows you all the typing styles. (On iOS 13)
Is there any way to use this app on android? I miss it!
Hey Tess! Unfortunately not! I think a similar one in terms of simplicity is Google Keep. Give it a shot!
Gracias obrigado Lucas.
When you turn your iPad into landscape mode and you tap on the icon to make a note full screen does your note fade slightly before going back to normal?
Wow, you're right. I never noticed that until you mentioned it. The text does fade when transitioning to and from full screen. Good catch!
Been using only Apple Notes since I dropped Evernote. However: is Notes also good as "archive" or repository, or is it good to use Keep It or Eaglefiler? Or is Notes good enough for that aswell?
Hi. What can you say now about Apple reminders compared to things 3? Please make a video on how you use things. Thanks
Hey Thanks Darwin. Yes, we should do a Things episode! I know that Reminders in iOS 13 got some improvements, but I haven't spent much time in it since I use things. Stay tuned and we'll try to do an episode. ✌️ Thanks for watching!
Thanks Lucas, I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. :)
Como usar o marca texto do notas para evidenciar uma frase do meu texto ? Não consigo passar ele por cima, apenas na página em branco.🇧🇷
What is the limit on notes like how much can I put it n one file
Thank yo for sharing, I agree with you. I also have Goodnotes but not sure how to use it to benefit me?
Thanks Julia! I haven’t used good notes myself, so I couldn’t offer any tips.
Hey I have a question. I love the Notes app. My current mail server did a recent migration of their new mail server. All of my notes on my iPhone disappeared. I upgraded the new mail app and my notes are in there. I can’t get them back into my Notes app. Do you have any thoughts. Thanks
Hey! Hmm, that's a difficult one to troubleshoot. Have you tried logging into your iCloud.com account to see if you can "Restore Notes"? Otherwise I'd probably call AppleCare and see if they can give you guidance. We could also dig deeper here at Foojee, at our standard billing rates, if AppleCare can't help. Thanks!
I downloaded goodnote5 for study and keep finding myself using apple note, when i found out it has pdf markup its a done deal for me
Whaattt u can open pdfs on apple notes?
Are you able to highlight a section with a highlighter?
You cannot highlight on top of text inside of Apple Notes, unfortunately. Notability does a good job of that if you need that feature.
If only ticking off a checklist had a sound effect similar to the Apple Pay success sound effect...
YES!, I write books and they are all in my apple notes I LOVE IT!
How
Help me out here! I tend to print from notes but the default font is too large and there is NO WAY to decrease the font for printing. A one page note when printed converts to a 3 page document and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Can you help?
Hey Stacy! You're right, cannot change font. I would copy/paste the note into another app like Pages (free) or Word and make formatting adjustments for printing. Good luck!
and yet for some reason, it cant seem to hold its text color......always fades when I close the note and reopen it.....black text turns grey and red turns light red
Is it true that Notes is not available on my new Apple Watch Series 5? If true, what Notes alternative will work across all my devices?
Correct! There are several options there, depending on what type of writing app you're looking to use. Google Keep has a Watch app, and so does Bear. Of course, Evernote does too!
Is there anyway to add lines to the screen to keep hand written notes straighter.? And does notes convert hand writing to text? Looking for these two things in and app...
Hey Gordy! Yes, the lines feature is pretty hidden. On any note you can tap the "Share" button and you'll see an option for "Lines and Grids" where you can add and then remove lines. Notes cannot convert writing to text. I'm sure there are lots of options out there, but for the occasional scenario where I need something beefier, I use Notability, and that has the writing conversion. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the video! Is there anyway to create indented bullet points under the bullets or numbers you’ve already made? I want a quick way to indent. Thanks!
Hey SpringHur! Yes there is, once you are in a list, hit *return* to go to the next line, then *tab* to make an indented bullet.
Hello, thanks for replying! I guess I should have specified that I’m often using my iPad without an external keyboard. Any tricks with the keyboard on the screen?
Terrific video, thanks! Am a fan too. Although (and correct me if I am wrong) export options are kind of weak in Apple Notes, compared, say, to a monster like Bear? I don't think it allows export / save as to text or rtf. Any idea if the new updates will fix that?
accentontheoff thanks so much! Glad to have you around. You’re right, the export options are limited. Wonder if Apple will ever do it honestly. Maybe other apps have an “Import from Notes” feature?
Lucas Acosta Thanks for the reply was worried I may have missed something obvious. Never know. Will look it up, might be a solution. Also am hoping the new update adds some features.
Thank you for the video. Found out so helpful. I was using Microsoft OneNote but find Notes so much faster and user friendly. Other than iPhone, I only use PCs so this helps me cross platforms.
Glad it helped, Mark! Hard to beat speed and simplicity!
Need to be able to add reminders directly to a note (not have to add to Reminders app ie Catalina)
I'm not a fan of Evernote. I loved using apple notes until recently. I started trying to do my homework in apple notes and exporting as a pdf to turn it in. It would be fantastic but the pdf ends up being wonky, cutting off my handwriting when starting a new page as well as cutting off the side sometimes.
How do you get notes to automatically sort a list in alphabetical order? Anyway excellent video!
Hey mmsotster! Thank you! You can change how notes are sorted by going to the Settings app/Notes area. I know, hard to find...
Need to be able to edit, markup, resize images in notes
👆
with notes, and using siri, how do you add extra 'notes' to an existing notes folder? seems no-one has got this info, do you know please ? tks
You're so right, Brian! I just tried it, and even though Siri acts like I'm creating a note inside a folder, it doesn't actually happen. This must be something that Siri is not capable of yet. BTW, what I tried was "Add a note to X folder."
Is there any other app with a similar share function? I don't have an iPhone anymore, and I really miss that option to share notes and update in real time! Thanks!
Yes, other than Evernote, Google Keep is another great app that can share. It just requires both parties to have a Google account/Gmail address.
How do you make it default to go to 1 note you use the most? It always opens something I don't need access to at the time. I've played with the settings and lock screen, resume last note, create new note but it always goes back to a note I don't need to open. Or can it default to my entire Folder list?
You can’t make a default per se, but you could “pin” important notes to the top so you’ll know how to get to them quickly.
@@laa8388 Thanks for the quick reply. I have pinned notes in each folder so they appear at the top- it's just too bad you can't open the same folder you use the most frequently.
Any thoughts on Notability? I use this currently ...
Hey Dane! I love Notability. Apple Notes is what I use 95% of the time, but for some meetings where I know I'll be drawing diagrams, I like Notability's features. Also nice that it has voice recording.
Thanks Lucas, very interesting. And there i was trying to keep things simple! OK I will do the same ... i love Notability, but am more and more wanting to do things on the fly, and the syncing between phone, pad and laptop is hard to beat ... the one thing Notes cant do is when you’re in pencil mode and with highlighting of text this is one thing i do all the time in Notability ... truth be said, using the pencil in notes after notability is pretty second rate. But still I am planning to use Notes for go to things and as you say for larger docs stay with Notability .... fund and games!
