With Notes on iCloud.com, you can capture a quick thought or save something important for later. You can also view and edit notes you created in the Notes app on any device with Notes turned on in iCloud settings.
Pin your favorite or most important notes to make them easier to find. To pin a note, swipe right over the note, then release. Or go to the note, tap the More button , then tap the Pin button . To unpin a note, swipe right over the note again.
To add a photo or video, tap in a note, then tap the Camera button . Tap Take Photo or Video to create a new photo or video, or Choose Photo or Video to add an existing one. Tap Use Photo or Use Video, or tap Add to add an existing one. You can also scan documents and add them to your notes.
The Notes app lets you lock any note that you want to keep private from anyone else that might use your device. Depending on your device, you can use Face ID, Touch ID, along with a password to lock and unlock your notes.
Notes is a notetaking app developed by Apple Inc. It is provided on their iOS, iPadOS and macOS operating systems, the latter starting with OS X Mountain Lion. It functions as a service for making short text notes, which can be synchronized between devices using Apple's iCloud service. The application uses a similar interface on iOS and macOS, with a non-textured paper background for notes and light yellow icons, suggesting pencil or crayon. Until 2013, both applications used a strongly skeuomorphic interface, with a lined, textured paper design; the Mountain Lion version placed this inside a leather folder. This design was replaced in OS X Mavericks and iOS 7.
Starting with iOS 9, Notes received a significant functional overhaul: iCloud sync (instead of IMAP; in-line with the OS X El Capitan version), the ability to create sketches (and later, support for Apple Pencil), advanced text formatting options, several styles of lists, rich web and map link previews, support for more file type attachments, a corresponding dedicated attachment browser and a system share extension point for saving web links, images, etc.[2] As of iOS 9.3, individual notes can be password-protected (with the ability to use Touch ID to unlock all notes on compatible devices), however, only one password can be set for all notes locked henceforth. The password syncs across compatible devices.[3]
The update to Notes released with iOS 11 adds tables,[5] pinned notes,[6] a document scanner,[5][6] graph and lined paper,[6] monospaced text support,[6] handwriting search,[6] and improved integration with Apple Pencil. Tapping the Pencil on the Lock screen will bring up a new note, with drawing active; the Pencil can also be used while in the Notes app to start an inline drawing.[7]
In iOS 13, the Notes app includes a new gallery view that displays notes as thumbnails, and shared folders. Checklist items can be automatically moved to the bottom when completed, and can be reordered using drag and drop. Search can find text in documents scanned using notes and can recognise images within notes.[8]
Quick Notes is now available on iPhone through the Share Sheet, and Smart Folders support new filters for organizing notes. Notes can be locked using the device passcode, instead of using a specific passcode for locked notes.[10]
Prior to Mountain Lion, Apple Mail on macOS supported a mailbox containing notes, which was synced with notes in the Notes application in iOS. This situation was a kludge: as Apple Mail already implemented the IMAP mailbox synchronization protocol, it could also sync notes with minimal additional work.[11] In Mountain Lion, notes were moved to a separate Notes application.[12][13] Created notes are synced through all the user's Apple devices through the iCloud service. Notes can be arranged in folders and pinned to the user's desktop. When the application is closed, the pinned note still remains. Additionally, unlike the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch versions, the OS X Mountain Lion Notes application allows for images to be embedded within notes. Originally, notes could be created in three different default fonts, Noteworthy, Marker Felt, and Helvetica. Users could also add custom fonts by visiting the "Show Fonts" menu. The menu allows users to change text size, and format lists, choose the alignment (left, center, justify, or right), assign a writing direction, and indent text. Attachments, images, and hyperlinks can also be added to a note. Attachments cannot be viewed on iOS devices.[14]
Due to the proprietary nature of the data storage mechanism for the Apple Notes apps, users of this software may be locked into it without a convenient way to export all Notes data to a different format.[15] While Apple does provide a way to export individual notes as PDF files, the software does not provide a mechanism to export the text of all notes to a text file, a Rich Text File, or other commonly-used data file formats as a bulk data transfer.
As of OS X El Capitan, Notes received a significant functional overhaul (in-line with the iOS 9 version), with major features including: iCloud sync, the ability to view sketches created on the iOS counterpart, advanced text formatting options, several styles of lists, rich web and map link previews, support for more file type attachments, a corresponding dedicated attachment browser and a system share extension point for saving web links, images, etc.[16] As of OS X El Capitan 4, individual notes can be password-protected, with the password syncing across compatible devices.[3]
Social media users have often used the Notes application to write short notes, which can then be posted as a screenshot to social media sites such as Instagram or Twitter.[19][20] Writers have noted that this form of communication has often been used by celebrities to make public statements, perhaps to give them an informal feel or extend beyond platform character limits, including often to post public apologies.[21][22]
I'm trying to figure out how to get Notes off my Mac and into an open source, Linux (probably Markdown) based solution.
If anyone else stumbles across this page looking for a solution you can now download all your notes, and all their attachments, directly from:
Simply open the notes and files app side by side on the iPad and select all to be copied (2 fingers) with dragndrop into the desired directory - voila .rtfd saved. You can use the share button to export the new rich text files.
To migrate from Apple Notes to Obsidian you need to export Apple Notes to Markdown text files and copy paste those files to the Obsidian folder (vault). To retain your Apple Notes folder structure the export needs to be organised in filesystem folders. To retain your images (and other attachments) they have to be exported to an images folder and referenced in the exported text files using Markdown. The only way to do this that I could find is using a MacOS App Store app to export Apple Notes. Other methods were not reliable and did not retain the folder structure. Since I have over 2k of notes about a wide range of personal and professional topics , structure was a must for me. This is what I did:
SOLUTION: After hours of trying to fix the issue of my iphone notes not syncing to my Macbook Pro, I finally found the solution. Open Notes on your computer, go to File>Accounts>icloud and sign in through that method. Then restart your computer.
Those steps do not fix the problem on my devices. My iOS device (iPhone 13) reliably syncs to iCloud and my Mac M2 Pro receives those syncs. But it will NO LONGER work in the opposite direction: A change to an existing or new Note that is made on the Mac will not sync to my IOS device. Often when I try to solve this issue by editing a note to try to force a refresh, a duplicate Note appears making 2 identical notes, but the Mac-to-iOS sync still won't update either note in iOS. This has started happening awhile ago during recent updates of macOS Ventura, now on 13.4.1. My use is to create a Note or update an existing Note on macOS, then access that edited Note on iOS when I'm away from the computer. It always lets me down when I open the note on iOS and find the update I made on the Mac is never there anymore.
For the last few years Apple Notes across my device (MAC, iPhone, iPad) would not sync correctly. I had over 650 Notes, and many of them had attachments, e.g., pictures, links to subdirectories, and PDFs. And I was sharing some notes. The problems I experienced included some Notes not syncing; always a different number of notes on different devices (a difference of 30+ notes across synced devices); occasionally Notes updates would not replicate across devices (VERY bad). And I tried ALL the Apple recommended approaches and various online suggestions, including deleting ALL Notes on a device then re-syncing from Apple Cloud to refresh the sync. But despite many attempts, I just could not get my Notes to correctly replicate across my devices nor stay synced afterwards. It was a big mess and causing me a lot of grief.
Today I decided to delete group.com.apple.notes that stores all cashed Notes data on the computer. It can found here /Bibliotek/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes/ (Before deleting it make a copy of the whole folder just in case you need to restore it.)
Thank you for your instructions. UNFORTUNATELY, they do not help. Since upgrading my Mac to latest Sonoma, notes no longer syncs with my other devices which have also been upgraded to the latest iOS. The instructions above have been followed, but syncing notes has stopped.
WARNING: When I did this, the notes app on my laptop synced to my cloud files (same as iPhone) and I lost any edits to Notes that only existed on my laptop. I also lost any Notes that we only on my laptop and had not yet synced properly to the cloud. For me, it was a relatively small price to pay to get my notes back in sync across devices.
The main reason was I guess, I had imported approximately 3.000 notes from Evernote as an ENEX file. The notes were successfully imported to Apple Notes on my MacBook Pro, successfully synchronised with iCloud and iPhone. But I had an endless sync icon on my iPad even after days..
