Apple Notes: Simple Yet Powerful (Tips + Tricks)

Outstanding. I just suscribed. Cannot afford to miss you excellent and useful videos

❤

the pen/pencil functions blow terribly , should take from Notability and others on how the pen function should work

Great video! You taught me something new, I'm going to reorganize all my notes in sub-folders now. My only problem with the Apple ecosysthem (which I love by the way) is that it only works with other Apple users. I need to take a lot of notes with my friends (we are at University), but none of them has Apple, so I always need to opt for other apps

This "tutorial" is finally one to my taste. Fast, precise, in-depth. Thank you!

I love Notes. One question, though. I know I can sort notes, but is there a way to sort folders?

👍 super

Great Video!!!
How to I stop Notes from pasting 'Excerpt From and the author/book information every time I copy/paste from a book pdf I have?

please provided a good workflow or substitute for windows

Hi! I really enjoyed your videos. I have a question: is there any way to use another cloud service than iCloud to sync/save apple notes? I’m already paying to use OneDrive with my Office account.

You wiz through things to quickly

The fact that you can’t do simple things like add attachments in notes is pretty crazy. Or I must be missing something?

Great video.❤👌👌👌 Very helpful.

I was not aware of the below points until I saw this video -

Using hash tags.
Creating checklist.
Search for notes with attachments.
Using 2 fingers to select notes.

Very helpful. Thank you.

How to get back to home screen

Can I also create sub folders when using smart folders? I like the organization of sub folders but want them to be smart 😊

Okay for those of you using Google keyboard in order to record a speech to text is that after you record you have to touch the the screen in Apple notes in order for it to paste the text in.
Edit: I'm using Google because the Apple speech to text doesn't work very well

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that you can import images and paste MP4’s to Notes, so you can use it as an offline mixtape!

This is great. The more notes and task management apps I try, the more I come to believe that all you need is Apple Notes and Apple Reminders. That’s it.

@PeterAkkies, do you use Apple notes to reading and handwritten pdfs books? Do you recommend?

i didn't want the video to end. hehe. learned a bunch. thanks!

It works awful on windows

I respect the view that Apple Notes is enough for the vast majority of people. At the same time I feel such a discussion can be a bit short-sighted. For many, using sth. like Obsidian isn't necessarily about "niche use-cases", but about wanting to own our data in a robust file format that is easy to read/migrate. This makes sense for a note-taking app especially, where over the years we build up personal knowledge & resources that we want to be able to access even decades down the road. Even a huge company like Apple can at some point do sth. to alienate swathes of its current user-base, become politically intolerable for an individual user, or fall off and go under at some point.

Its embarising how bad Google Keep is compared to apple notes. and that Evernote is sold there isnt anything an Android user can use. 😭

Hey Peter! I've seen Carl Pullein use a "Master projects list" to track projects long-term. Do you use any particular method or view to track what projects you are currently working on, and to visualize their current status?

Your content really helps me organise my life and tasks in a way that suits me, thanks a lot!

It’s still not clear how the swipe from the right opens a quick note. I see I have a few quick notes but I’ve no idea how they got created. Swiping from the top right brings up notifications not the control centre.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PETER!

Once you created a note with a photo you can’t modify the size of the photo. That’s a no go for me

Great video! It was super helpful

The thing i want most from any notes application is the ability to convert to Word and Word to notes with ease. Being able to link the two would be ideal.

I love Apple Note. I just wish we could merge 2 notes

Great video; it covered a lot of ground but in an efficient, easy-to-follow way.

How do I drag and drop a note ?

That's it. 😀

Thank you so much!

I have a question please : How to link some notes in THINGS3 ?

easy is GREAT. As I have said before, it is awesome to have a productivity tool that does not steal your productivity. Even better - getting videos like this that just gets on with it and hits me with the info - BOOM, no messing around and everything I need. Top work as usual Peter 👍👋

Great video. I just miss colors on notes for a better experience.

Great tutorial, I’m really enjoying this video.
But one question to the community:
How I adjust a cell of a table in width or height…like in word excel or other tools? Looking forward to get a hint to do this.
Thanks!

A lot of good information but you select the options too fast and I had to go back and watch it a second time.

I wish they could integrate their native apps better… mail, notes, calendar, contacts still not working all well properly together

Collaboration does not work well

Your pace is a bit quick, however excellent content. I need to check out Apple Notes on the Mac and this could lead to a substantial decrease in may annual subscription costs by eliminating one very popular note taking app from my stack. Thanks for your work.

Great video! Love the breakdown! I’ve used a bunch of note apps and have come full circle and am back on Apple Notes. When I really looked at how I was using apps like Obsidian, Craft, Notion, etc. I can totally achieve this in Apple Notes.

How do I tell Siri to add my current voice note to a specific folder etc?

Don't know about you guys, but I'm having a lot of issues with this app. Crashes suddenly and the content is gone, handwritten text overlaps other text, etc. Is a really good notes app, I've tried others and keep getting back. But with these issues I'm rethinking it.

Thank you so much for that video, very useful.

Great video yet again, always look forward to what tips you can provide. The thing that annoys me with Apple Notes is that you cannot set a default font for a new note and have to physically set it every time. If Apple fixed this, then it would be perfect for my use case.
