Great video, thank you. But next time maybe lower the music volume as it gets hard to hear you.
I totally hear you. I will make that change in future videos.
Or maybe whisper a bit louder haha
Why oh why does every every every RUclipsr think there is some kind of universal Law that demands every video - no matter whether documentary, entertaining, interview, tutorial, informational… even the most serious topics… - to have annoying distracting repetitive background music ?! Can people today really not exist without ceaseless 24/7 overstimulation anymore ?! Why can we not be presented with the focus on plain and simple facts and information instead of making it into some kind forced attempt at being entertaining by adding distracting annoying background sounds ? and thanks much for sharing the good tips ! :-)
@@PeterQuentercrimsonbamboo I don't disagree with you, but it is the standard. And although I prefer quiet videos, many people ask for background music. This video's music was too loud and distracting for my taste, but I didn't realize that until after I uploaded it and listened to it myself. Future videos have quieter, more subtle music. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching. Hopefully my newer videos will be less distracting for you.
@@TheMacWhisperer - ah, yes, of course... understandable ! - yet, about that 'adhering to the standards' thing ... just because the majority is doing it does not mean it is the right thing- or the beneficial thing to do - and, yes, of course, many people, thus, will request background music... likely simply because they grew up with it (in Germany, for example, we never had the constant background music in shops, shopping centers, businesses, tutorials, - if ever any music at all, it was very subtle barely noticeable barely audible soft classical music... ... when I came to Canada in 1990 it was one of the first things I noticed here... musak musak musak everywhere... ) - but there also many people who comment on these kinds of RUclips channels how they hate background music - so, in the end, it is a question of personal preference either way, of course - still, considering that the vast mojority these days just automatically adds background noise because 'it is the standard' and *presumed* required to appeal to people, I, for one, will continue to voice my opposition :-) (absolutely nothing intended personal !! ) - especially, as psychology, and people's experience, does indicate that the wrong kind of background music can indeed be distracting to the message - besides all that, I look forward to more Mac-teaching from you :-) :-)
Great video! Very helpful.
Thanks for watching! Glad you got value out of it.
Thanks for this beautiful tutorial.
You’re so welcome 😊
My family uses a collaborative list in Apple Notes for gift ideas as well, but we use it for everyone to note what they want as a gift. Everyone has their own section of the note that they can just add to. That way, when birthdays, Christmas, etc. comes around, we’re not asking everyone what they want provided they are keeping their respective lists updated through the year.
Recommendation for next video: can you share how you organize Apple Notes? What folders you use and why?
Thanks! Great video. I’m new to Apple products after being on Android for 10+ years, so you have so very helpful info. New sub here!
A collaborative list is a great idea. Good job on that…
Absolutely make a video about organizing notes, because I think it’s really important between folders and tags… So keep your eyes open for that.
As a new Apple user are there any other questions, suggestions or ideas you have for future future videos? Please let me know.
This is a game changer. Thank you!
Love it! Thanks for watching!
Once again, the MACWHISPERER DELIVERS! Thank you, again, Dylan for providing clear, simple, USEFUL guidance on the best ways to use Notes!
I love the way you are showing these tips with all the video effects and clarity on using the different platforms, tools, to use Notes... the macbook or desktop and phone - GREAT STUFF!
Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed it! I love showing how to use these powerful tools!
thank you, mate!
Thank YOU!!!! Appreciate you for watching!
A great and useful feature of Notes is #tags and/or links/backlinks as well as smart folders.
Absolutely. One of the next videos I will be making will talk about those notes tools as well as some other great ways to organize notes. Thanks for the suggestion.
YEP! great tutorial . I agree about the comment regarding the volume of the back ground music a little too loud so I turned off the volume and use the subtiles instead . I also had to go to iPad to be able to fully follow this tutorial as some of the discribe function buttons were not available on other apple devices .i.e. iPhone MacBook Air but learnt a lot thanks Mac whisperer
Curious what features you couldn’t find. If you are on the latest updates you should see the same features (maybe in a slightly different place) but if you are on older software that makes sense.
Sorry about the music. We have addressed it for future videos.
Thanks for watching and pushing through those challenges.
I have been using notes app for YEARS. Some would consider me a power user even. As I always get something valuable from the MacWhisperer I took a few minutes to check out this email. TBH the Power Tip blew my mind. Using notes to keep track of gifts (and other shopping links) in a sane and organized fashion was not something I had considered before. This could be a game changer for my sanity. Thanks for posting this. I look forward to seeing what other gold you have to share from your bag of tricks!
Amazing, I’m always thrilled to share something that can make a difference or make something easier for someone. Keeping track of Zoom links, shopping lists, and more is a great way to keep things simple.
And thanks for all the great compliments! You my friend are amazing as well!
Whisperer - Another great video.
As an alternative, when finding something I want to save while browsing Safari, I find it faster to hit the "Share" button in Safari and add a Note with a link to Apple Notes.
Of course, you can't search a recipe for salmon with that method.
That works, but doesn't allow you to edit and interact with it. It just gives you the link which is nice, but often I need more and don't want to go back to the wensite when I could have all the info stroed locally in Notes.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion!
Thanks for the ideas. Interesting that you suggest using Notes for to do lists. Do you find it better than Apple Reminders for this purpose? I’d also be interested in best practices for using folders and tags in Apple Notes.
Reminders and notes are very important tools for the Apple ecosystem, and they are both critical. One is not better than the other. In this video I was suggesting using notes for basic checklists, but in my next video I will talk about how I use reminders… And why it’s better for a lot of things like that.
Done properly notes and reminders work together because there is some overlap, but I use both extensively.
Reminders is better for when I want to be alerted (or reminded) about a task. But sometimes when I’m trying to organize my day it’s easier to just shut it down in notes and keep it open on my computer so I can attack the task one after the other.
My Reminders lists are Extensive, and serve a slightly different purpose. I’ll talk about that more in the next video.
Thanks for watching!
I predominantly use Apple Reminders for my To Do Lists because of has functions designed for To Do Lists. However, if I want to combine other information with a To Do List, I will tend to use Apple Notes.
Thanks Dylan! As always I find your videos educational. I only have a small nit to pick. 😆 It probably isn’t good to show someone using their iPhone in their hand while they are driving.
Yeah, I don’t disagree with you at all. It’s not something I want to promote… But that was the best video I could find to show working in the car. I usually do it by voice… But there was no video showing somebody dictating while driving… Oh well. Just know that that’s not my habit ever, it was just the B roll I could find.
@@TheMacWhisperer I completely understand. No harm, no foul.
For recipes on the web, I use the “print recipe” function, which usually opens a new window. From that new window, I use the share menu and select “clip article to notes.” This imports the entire recipe into notes without all the copy and paste. I do this on my iPad. Not sure if it can be done on a desktop or laptop.
That works pretty well, but requires you to click the link on notes to go to the website to see the recipe. I like having it natively in text on the notes so that I can easily edit it if I need to make changes (I’m modify a lot of recipes as I cook them). But it’s really a great suggestion!
Is there a way to have an auto visual thumbnail preview of web page links?
It should do that pretty automatically. When you drag a link onto Notes it will do its best to create a thumbnail. If you type the link in it doesn’t always do it… So dragging it is the way to get that thumbnail preview.
Great video….i use apple notes all the time…. Would you tell me how you put your presentations together….what apps and what is your process. How does apple notes help in the process….thanks again, Charlie. p.s. I like the share option apple notes added “open in pages”.
Sure. I have a note that has all of my upcoming RUclips ideas. When I’m ready to shoot one I create a new note and type (or usually dictate) my bullet points out so I’ve got them in front of me. And then open the note and its own window, and record using a program called screen flow. This allows me to Fill myself and the phone. I have the phone in a holster right by the camera, so that I can “look at the camera“ while also working on the phone.
Once the video is edited, I run it through a program called Descript to get a transcript, subtitles, and to clean up any loose ends or Messed up words. Descript is great because it lets you edit the transcript and it cleans up the video when you do it. It even has an option to use an AI version of my voice to replace a word or two when I make a mistake. I want my recent videos I said look to your right when I meant look to your left, and I just swapped out the word on Descript and you could never tell that I made the mistake.
I use Canva to design the thumbnails, and once I’ve got all the pieces together I upload it directly to RUclips.
Over the four years I’ve been making videos my processes refined over and over again as I create new systems to do it cleaner, better and easier. It’s just how my brain works. I’m always improving.
Are you interested in making videos?
@@TheMacWhisperer Thanks for your great response. i have been exploring video making apps. Charlie
Hi Dylan.
Bb😎👕
Great time for a revisit of the Notes app.
Great tips again.
I am trying to get my wife to “Organize “ her” trillion” recipes spread in binders, drawers, and everywhere else……..
Thanks again. My friend. Nobody does it better.
Stay safe
BB👕❤️😎
P. S. I think spring has arrived here.
👍😎❤️👕
It will make a huge difference for her to have the notes in one place. It takes a little work to scan and/or type them in, but once she’s got them organized it will completely transform how she cooks.
I’d like to try that Edd salad….
It was delish!!!
I use Apple Notes to create my kid's sports rosters. Then, I can easily share with my wife and other parents for easy access in the stands during games. Bonus - add coaches' names and players' parents' names for easy recall,
Great suggestion!
I thought Notes wasn't good to use as a word processor. Confused between using Notes vs Pages
It depends on if you need heavy formatting. I wouldn’t write an entire novel with notes, but it’s great for poems, short stories, outlines, organizing your thoughts and basic writing.
I only use a word processor when it’s a long form document or needs complex formatting.
Sometimes I will get ideas down in notes and then transfer to Word or Pages to do the deeper work.
This looks like a fantastic video but with my ADHD unfortunately I can’t really watch much of it because the music is so distracting just as some constructive feedback. The images in the back seem quite busy as well but the content looks amazing. Thank you. I wish I could watch the rest of it. 😊
Sorry... I have made a note to adjust the music volume and pace in future videos, but there's nothing I can do about the videos that have already been posted. Hopefully the next video will be easier for you to watch.
Why try to replace apple Reminders, when it does so much more?
For clarity, there is no way I am recommending replacing reminders. I’m just suggesting for people who haven’t started using reminders that they can use notes better. And my next video I will talk about all the ways to use reminders… Which is every bit as powerful as notes, and neither one should replace the other. They should be used together.
Thanks for the comment… You are completely right.
Music is too loud 😩
I agree. Thank you, we have adjusted the volume for all future videos. Sorry... 🤷
Paprika, a dedicated recipe keeper is much better to use. It groups them, automatically pulls everthing down with one click. Why try to make your Notes program anything it isn’t? I love Notes, and use it all the time. I just don’t try to make it something it isn’t.
I own and have used Paprika, but when the vast majority of what i track is in notes, it always feel counterintuitive to go over to a separate app like Paprika... so as a result it ends up in Notes.
Everyone has different practices and ways to use their tools. For me Notes is where I store ANYTHING that I want to refer back to later... and recipes fits perfectly in that concept.
The idea of making Notes something it isn't makes sense.... but for me it is a great place to collect information and easily refer back to it... so why not use it for things like recipes?
How about next time you show someone driving, they don't have their phone in their hand and their eyes off the road.
I 100% agree. It was a lapse in judgment to choose that video clip. It won't happen again.
Crazy that after a 14 minute video that was the only thing you felt the need to comment on.
Great video!!! I use the recipe idea you shared in this video.
I understand the texting while driving comment... but you are right, there is so much more than that in this video! Thanks for watching!
At which timestamp can this be seen? I can't find it.
@@deutschland09 It's been removed from the video.
Video of a woman texting and driving. Awesome. That’s how my friend died.
So sorry to hear about that. For reference, I don't type and drive, I use Siri and voice activation but I understand how it looks. I'll be more mindful of clips like that in future videos.
You don’t exactly show how to do anything ?
This video was just about interesting ways to use notes. If you look on my channel, there are multiple videos about how to use notes such as:

Please don’t show someone using the phone while driving!!
Yes, I agreee. It was my mistake to use that clip. Lesson learned.
Can’t stand the music! Please, please lower the volume
Noted. Future videos will have significantly lower and calmer music.
Using phone while driving? Not setting a responsible example.
Stupid and a really bad example😮
You're totally right. It was bad judgment on my part to include that video clip. For reference I use voice activation, Siri and Carplay and don't actually type in the car... but regardless I learned my lesson. Thanks for pointing it out.
Yes, it was a bad clip to use... lesson learned.
@@TheMacWhisperer Why don't you whipe it out of the video?
