How (and why) I use Apple Notes

Did you know that in Apple Notes, you can scan receipts straight from your phone to your Mac? And lock and unlock notes with Touch ID or Face ID? And that you can create templates for things you do often, like having a kickoff meeting with a client?

In this video, I demonstrate how I use Apple Notes. I discuss why it’s the best notes app for me right now and why I switched to Apple Notes from Bear, which I was using previously. Along the way, I’ll give you some tips for getting the most out of Apple Notes.

I agree. The only thing i wish Notes had is you could draw on the typed wording with a pencil in iPad.

Peter, excellent video.

I would suggest you seriously consider using Apple Reminders as your task manager. Why? You said in this video that you like how Apple has connected its apps (e.g., Safari, Notes, etc.). Well, you can link a Note to Reminders. The task goes in Reminders. Supporting details go in Notes. Then, just link them. - - - The way to link them is to open the Note, click on the "Share" button, and select Notes. When you open Reminders, you will see a Notes icon on the right side of the reminder. Then, write the "To Do".

I use Apple notes for everything even for storing all my files and mails that I export via share pdf to a daily mail inbox note. Reasons: i. the pdf text search is great, even better in my opinion than evernote ii. this allows me to turn actionable tasks and deadlines to individual documents iii. this allows me to annotate documents, comment them or write something about them. I have a great experience with using Apple notes as a privat and professional storage for files even if this may not be a common use.

Thanks so much for this Peter! I've just discovered your page not a moment too soon! I'm in the process of adding some serious structure to my life and your Notes and Reminders App videos have been super helpful. Thanks for pointing me toward Things 3 as well. I like that it seems to be a one-time purchase, not a yearly subscription. I was about to ask you about Reminders vs Things 3, but as fate would have it, directly in line with my my comment box, in the suggested videos, is your Reminders vs Things 3 video. Anyway I've already written all this praise so may as well share it. Thanks again man, keep doing what you're doing!

I like how you kept the “deleted note” bit in there, very authentic. Something most YouTubers would never do

Great video, thank you.
I also use it for check list. For instance now that I went on vacation, I included items like sun blocker, sun glasses, etc. with check buttons so I won’t forget anything.
Cheers

In my opinion Apple Note is great, I used it for my keeping my personal notes and document. However I prefered One Note and Notability for taking notes for work since both are more organised and friendly than Apple Note.

why not to make your color tags and so on as keyboard replacement suggestion?
in that case it will be faster than to copy it from notes

Hey folks. I created an entire course on Apple Notes! It teaches you even more features, but more importantly, a workflow for organizing everything.

Those are great tips, I use Apple Notes for quite a few things, and it has been working well for me. As for task managers, I prefer the apple reminders as Things 3 requires you to buy a separate app for each Apple device which is just plain dumb, in my opinion. In one day, I work between my phone, my iPad mini, or sometimes my iPad Air and a laptop...no way am I going to pay multiple times for the same app. If they ever rectify that, then I'd be willing to take a look at it as it looks like a great tool, but until then, it's reminders for the win for me.
