Because Apple Notes is built into Apple devices, including iPhones, iPad, and MacBooks, it is handy for taking quick notes or keeping some notices handy for offline access. I recommend using its features, including folders, tagging, smart folders, locking, checklist, web sharing, and handwritten notes and sketches. Let's dive in.
The folder has two benefits: grouping notes and protecting notes from accidental showing during screen sharing.
Tagging and Smart Folder organize content with tags for prioritization and extended categorization after macOS Monterey.
Locking protects notes when keeping personal information handy, such as a digital copy of a driver's license, healthcare card, membership, and personal documents.
The checklist is used for the to-do list which we can pin on the top.
Handwritten notes and sketches are used when on the iPad using Apple Pencil. We can easily convert to text with the Apple Pencil's scribble feature.
In summary, AppleNotes doesn't have a wealthy content format, advanced content structure, or indexing capabilities like Quip, Evernotes, and Notion. Therefore, notes on Apple Notes are mainly prompt notes that are then moved to Quip for workplace collaboration, EverNotes for personal content like contact and journals, and Notion for private knowledge systems.
