I’ve watched a ton of tutorials and reviews about this topic and this is the single most helpful video so far. You’ve chosen the most useful topics and explained in a comprehensive manner. Good job. I Subscribed.
This is super helpful! I was bending over backwards trying to figure out which notes app to subscribe to while going back to school... I have learned that the apple notes app will do just fine.
I use collabnote as I write in my own handwriting and don't want a headache.
Hope Apple Notes, in the near future, provides markdown and slash command menu (like in notion). It will be great to also have something like a snippet expander to quickly insert current date or time, or regularly used templates.
Thanks for sharing. I have learned so much about Notes beyond basic features. I use Notes daily. Blessings on your day.
Great video! I have been embracing Notes with the new updates. There's now a blockquote option, so you don't need to use monospace text. Also, Quick Notes can be added just by swiping with a finger on the iPad.
Thank you, this video was excellent and I’ve learned new tips/way to use Apple notes more efficiently 😊
Again, a wonderful video. Thank you so much1
Great video, and very useful as to what's coming in iOS17. I would love the ability to change the default font for notes.
Excellent video. I did not know about typing the 2 greater than symbols. thanks for that. With the tables, I do like that you can touch the 3 dots in a table line or column and move them around. that's been helpful.
very informative content! Thank you
Christopher - An excellent video. - - - However, 98% was about how Apple Notes works. I think your followers would appreciate a follow-on video that explains how you use it. For example:
* How do you decide to make a new folder? Is it just a matter of the 'need of the moment" or do you have a pre-conceived design that you try to adhere to ?
* Tags - You said you rarely use them. Why not?
* Why do you put Notes about a project into a "project" folder?
Your demo Apple Notes database had only 35 notes. Do you have another with hundreds /. thousands of notes? If yes, how do you structure that database.
Thanks for considering.
Hey Chris, great video as always!
Your points (the markdown and rtf) + (tables & formulas) had me thinking: isn’t it about time we had extensions for Notes? What extensions would you want to see if that was to ever happen?
I have tried many note-taking apps. LIKE A LOT. but i always come back to apple notes and they have improved this app alot. So, I am just sticking to this app.
Your timing is spectacular! I just migrated to Apple Notes and this video is super helpful. I learned quite a few new tricks from it. Thanks so much!
For some reason I can’t leave a regular comment so I will leave a reply on Kevin’s nice comment! This video was so helpful, Christopher! I’ve been using Apple Notes for so long and am SO excited to see they added linked notes. And the tip for a smart folder that contains any notes with checklists? Amazing hack!
Love Notes App it's become such a powerful everyday app for me
Amazing what I didn't know about my Notes app
That Launchpad thingy tip… thx!🙌
Thanks for this video! I've used Notes for ages and figured there lots of other features, but I don't know them. Now, at least, I have some ideas of what I might want to do with Notes! [I only found your channel a couple days ago. I'm considering going with just an iPad instead of the old 2014 MacBookPro, and your channel seems very iPad-themed!]
Good vid as always Chris 👍
really awesome vid mate
I have a Notes/Reminders/Calanders task management system on my iPhone and iPad, but I really wish they integrated more. Like I should be able to put a reminder in a Note that shows up in my Reminders. And reminders should show up on my Calendar, or at least have the option to.
You can send a note to reminders and create a link between reminders and notes. Click share in the note -> make sure “send a copy” is selected -> share to reminders.
Your new reminder will have a note icon and will open the note when clicked. Despite sending a copy, the link will show the latest version of your note.
Brilliant video! Burning question - what’s the macOS finder icon for in your iPad dock and how did you get it?! Thanks 🙏🏻
Ahh, I was looking on your channel about 6 hours ago for an Apple Notes video. Crazy synchronicities!
HAHA, talk about timing!
Thanks for the video. What are the widgets that are using for your iPad? I see weather, calendar, tasks, market, shortcuts, etc. I am curious what the two are in the upper right corner? I am not familiar with these.
I love notes, I use it for personal use, employment use and university use. The only thing I wish it had that it doesn’t, and I don’t understand why, is when I type notes and want to go back and use the Apple Pencil to highlight something I can’t…I can only seem to highlight handwritten notes and not typed notes. This feature would really be great for me, as it is I find myself going back to good notes for school because I can highlight typed and written notes.
If I’m missing something or someone knows how to do it I can full time apple notes
would love for notes just to get formatting esp colors that is more intuitive and toggle lists like notion. Once that's in that'll be 100% my school note taking app
just like you rearranged the folders to whatever order you wanted .. can you do the same thing with the notes in those folders? (arranging the notes in the order i want)
I've heard others talk about creating a launchpad in Notes. I am intrigued by that idea. Do you have or know of a video that goes into more detail?
Hi Chris, Can you please tell me how I can use Notes (ios 17) to fill and sign a PDF once I have it in the Notes App? Many thanks Chris. 👍
Hey Christopher! Hmm i really like Apple Notes but I've also fallen in love with Craft.
I was wondering if you find yourself using the two apps at the same time and what would be your use cases? Or recommended use case for using both.
It’s crazy that apple notes are extremely more intuitive and nicer/better than one Note… this video just made me question my notion.. i might just move over to this for my notes instead.
One thing I don't like about notion is that it takes a second to load the pages. I hate to see the loading icon. Opening a page should be seamless. But I love the toggle lists in notion which the apple notes lack.
Honestly - what started as simply jotting literally a note - seems to now be practically a literal notes powerhouse. Sure, may be missing a few features others have, but the collaboration and the ability to link between other stock apps… wow wow wow!
They now have the feature where you can type >> and then type the name of a nother note or make a new note to add links within a note. Although the notes linked together do not show backlinks as of October 2023, it is still an awesome feature.
He mentioned this just before the 9 min mark
Hi Chris
How do I change my iPad notes keyboard to do any of those things. (No chevron or command key etc)
I would love them to add theme support to notes. One thing I miss from Bear.
hi! what ipad do you use? I can't find a shift button on my ipad mini 6 just like one that you showed on the video :/
It really seems like Apple Notes has been improving over time, and that's something I've completely neglected in my search for a good note-taking app because I've thrown every random thought into Apple Notes to die because I hardly check it. With these changes, I really think it's time for me to give it a proper shot, so thank you for this or I'd never have known! The ability to link to other notes is what's making this extra viable considering how competitors also have such a function.
This is exaclty the same thing I thought. This video has inspired me to try the apple ecosystem out again for my productivity stack (calendars, notes, reminders, contacts(CRM))
The linking makes this instanely powerful as a second brain
yo bro ! i saw your “Starfield’s note” … wonder what’s in there ? haha
Where did you get your hat!? 😍
What keyboard app u using on your iPad
The option of bringing PDF’s inside notes is great, but would be greater if I was able insert outlines on the PDF’s
Will iOS 17 Notes allow you to duplicate a note like you can on macOS?
I want the opposite of what you want. I want to use the rich text controls without having to type markdown. But I want to be able to export and import markdown.
Chris, I see that you also use Obsidian. How do you differentiate what goes into notes and what goes into Obsidian?
this!
I made a shortcut that makes a new quick note and then added it to my iPhone dock
Chris, you can link notes by just typing : >>
It should list the notes and you can pick the one you want.
I just paid for Bear 2 because I noticed a lot of the features in there were not in Notes. Now I see that Notes really has come a long way. Maybe I won't even need to pay for Bear soon enough. The only thing that holds me back is getting a link to a note that I can drop into Things 3. And also more accessible sharing like Notion can publish to web.
You can get a link to a note. Albeit you would have to go through shortcuts to create it and then paste it in Things 3
I use a different work around. I share the note with myself and copy the link that it generates. I think there are other ways as well. I am going to try that shortcut option!
@@IRVremy I know, but I find it's just unnecessary friction...
I really wish the notes app allowed handwriting to inhabit the same space as typed text. It’s weird that you can do it, but it segregates the typed and written text into separate sections of the note.
I cannot crop and edit photos in Notes. Please help me with that.
It would be great if you could go slower or dedicate brief one on launchpad idea you use with hyperlinking of notes. It’s a great idea but it went too fast and not as in depth
Hello, is this iPad 11 inch or 12.9 ? Thank you.
12.9
I would love to move from Evernote to Apple Notes (have just shy of 8k notes), tried it once, but the sync is abysmal. Anyone else seeing the same thing or have a recommendation?
I have had a lot of issues importing from Evernote ENEX files. Some will import just fine and others will completely clog up iCloud and keep any Apple notes from syncing afterwards. I contacted Apple about it in June and spoke to many people including an engineer and they say it is on their list of fixes.
I just want markdown support
Hyperlinks and linking notes
It's about time Apple added this feature.
Having to do this through shortcuts was a pain.
The one thing that I wish would be added is (markup) highlighting behind text.
Apple needs to get rid of this paint/highlight crap.
I prefer HTML over markdown but that's just me.
I don’t understand how you use the notes app without overheating and the iPad battery life being sucked dry after 30 mins of use.
when importing a large pdf file (200 MB) into the notes, notes became extremely slow and laggy, utterly unusable. i really tried to use apple notes and ended up using goodnotes
Can we still not simply highlight the text yet? Thats all i want! Hahaha
Your Keyboard seems totally different from my ipad keyboard
File management in Apple OS stinks.
When you put over 1000 notes and lots of hand written, it gets reaaly slow and unusable.
I have 3,666 notes in Notes and it’s lightning fast for me. I have the 12.9 M1 iPad.
@@TheIkaika777 Good for you. but for me, it’s still unusable. Maybe it also depends on the length of the notes and hand written notes.
@@TTisodi, Do you have the M1/M2 iPad pros?
@@TheIkaika777 Yes, mine is m2 ipad pro.
Sorry but there is no productivity on this device. Forced myself to use 12.9 M1 Pro with Magic Keyboard for year and a half and this was the most challenging thing in my tech life hahahahaaha. Recently switched back go MBA Air 15 inch and I could not be more happier. Never again will go back to iPad as a laptop replacement...
@ChrisLawley_ I think your mastadon account link in the description of the video is old
Oooppps! Thank you for letting me know. I just fixed it. Here is the link also: mastodon.social/@ChrisLawley
