When I add something on the iPad and iPhone, the new text makes its way to my MacBook faster than I can open the lid and go looking for it.
My 787 notes seem to be synchronizing just fine. That one runs the gamut of notes I took when reading a book to useful Latin quotes … Sit vis nobiscum. When I come across something interesting with an advertiser’s product, I record it in the text file so I can remember to talk about it in the future episode.įinally, the personal folder is the catchall.

A while ago I started keeping notes on Mac Power Users ad spots. On the MacSparky side I have notebooks related to field guides and everything else. Finally, I have 286 separate notes including snippets of text I’ve written in the past but may want to use again. On the legal side I also sometimes do a bit of research that I know I’m going to want to use again and I keep that is a text note. I also keep bits of research and any other information I may find handy. As an example, many of these notes have a communications log where I I have a running text list with the date, time, and content of any significant communications for later reference. These include simple things like the name of a court or opposing counsel’s name in addition to any other bits of information I want to have quick access to. I split these between the active and closed matters. On the legal side, I keep text files on most matters I work on. For years I’ve been collecting bits of text relevant to every phase of life. Below is a list of all of my folders.Īs you can see I’ve got basically three areas of my life: the geek, the lawyer, and the dude. That post resulted in a lot of questions about how I’m organizing my notes. I’ve already written at some length about Apple Notes and a few useful tips. I didn’t admit to myself, or anyone else, that I become an Apple Notes user but apparently I have. So first this was all a big experiment to see what was wrong with Apple Notes and then I just started using the application.
Now I’ve got 787 notes in my Apple Notes database. It seemed to me like a perfect excuse to slurp in the rest of my nvALT database so I could really push the application’s limits. One of those new features is the ability to import Evernote and plain text files.

Just last week we got a new beta of an upcoming Mac OS X release that includes additional Apple Notes features. Not only is Apple Notes a contender, Apple has continued to refine the product. Then I started using Apple Notes and the strangest thing happened. When they announced during the keynote that they had an “all-new” Apple Notes I chortled and rolled my eyes. When I showed up at WWDC last year, Apple Notes was nothing more than a target for my derision. I hope with the next iteration of the Mac OS and iOS 10, the applications get closer and add a few of the features I mentioned in the show, like the ability to sort alphabetically and, for the love of all that is holy, a better way to set the font size on the Mac.Īpple Notes continues to get its hooks in me. Despite the fact that the app was rebuilt just last year, the are still a lot of subtle differences between the Mac and iOS versions. This does expose a further issue with Apple Notes. Then open up the Apple Notes application on your iPhone or iPad and give it a second to synchronize and you’re good to go.
That adds a disclosure triangle to the folder and placed the moved folder inside the destination folder. Open Apple Notes on your Mac and simply drag an existing folder on top of another. Once you know of the existence of this feature, it’s not difficult to implement. (Thanks Ken Haynes for pointing this out.) It’s kind of weird that you have to do it on the Mac first but that’s where things stand at this point. You can nest folders in Apple Notes on the Mac and then it will propagate down to iOS. One of my issues was the inability to nest folders. During the show, I went on at some length about the good and bad points with Apple’s notes application. A few weeks ago, we published a Mac Power Users episode comparing the current status of notetaking applications.
