Apple Notes

“How do I love thee, Apple Notes? Let me count the ways. Pinned. Tagged. Smart-Foldered. Back-Linked. Synched. Shared. iClouded. The list goes on! I might have to teach a class for all my note-takers and list-makers on the many unsung features of this seemingly basic app!”

“Whoa. So Apple Notes can also act like a (cleaner, more aesthetic) Excel *and* a graphing calculator? Life changed.”

“This hasn't really been updated in over a year but is still very good. I still reference it from time to time. It's not the most well laid out guide and there's still a lot of TBD videos that the author never put in but they're easily found on google. Obviously best set up on a Mac or iPad + keyboard rather than just an iPhone.”

“Picture your usual route in the grocery store. Make a Notes App list in the order you walk in. This makes it less likely you’ll double back. This all goes to hell if you pop into a strange grocery store, but makes a regular weekly shop easier.”

“When I have an idea or see something for someone, I just add it to my notes app. People I buy gifts for often, like my kid or sister, I have a whole note for. I have a saved folder here for “gifts” for things I think certain loved ones would like. Then, when the time comes, I don’t feel pressure. Also, if the inspiration strikes, I just gift it then and there.”

“It's extremely collaborative and useful for stuff around the house. We use it for the family grocery check list, Amazon purchases or dinner menus, and when she first started, our nanny created an "end of day" check list that I was so impressed by...”

“I do this too! With sections for different people I want to give gifts to. Soooo so helpful.”

“The sky's the limit!! Shitty t-shirt slogans, a fanfic you wrote in middle school, plans for your upcoming trip, gossiping in public- I could go on!!! when you don't live close enough to share physical notes do NOT let that stop you from sharing silly and pedestrian thoughts with your besties!!”

“I love using my notes app for everything. My to dos, my secrets, my goals, my favorite places in the city. It’s the best.”

“Does anyone else have one billion lists in their notes app?”
