52 Apple Notes tips in nine minutes, across four devices
Apple Notes is AWESOME (when you know how to use it)
About this video
Fifty-two tips in nine and a half minutes, which is about eleven seconds each — a rapid-fire list rather than a course. It is also unusual here for spending real time on the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch versions of an app rather than only the Mac one, from viewing notes on a watch at 3:07 to handwriting and math notes on an iPad.
The right way to watch this is with the chapter list open and something to write in. Nothing is demonstrated twice, most items get a handful of seconds, and the only workable approach is to pause on the four or five that apply to you and let the rest go past. It is a reference in motion rather than a lesson.
What makes it worth keeping is the device spread. Most Mac software coverage stops at the Mac, and this one does not: the Apple Watch section from 3:07 is genuinely unusual, covering viewing notes on the watch, a grocery list on the wrist, creating a note from the watch and the Notes complications. The iPad gets handwriting at 4:15 and math notes at 4:37. Notes is one of the few Apple apps where the phone version is not the poor relation, and the video treats it that way.
The Mac material, from 5:19, is the more familiar half — find within a note, headings, subfolders, pinning, a locked note — and it moves fast enough that the subtitles are doing real work. Two chapters are worth flagging for anyone who assumed the app was a dead end: Markdown import and export at 7:36, and linking between your own notes at 8:33.
The final tip, at 9:14, is titled “this app makes Notes even better” and the description does not name the app, so this page will not guess at it. The chapters above are the creator’s own; where a tip lasted a few seconds the timestamps are the only index there is.
What it covers
- The Apple Watch section starts at 2:44 and the iPad at 4:15, so the middle of the video is about devices other than the Mac — including creating notes from a watch at 3:17 and math notes at 4:37.
- The Mac-only material starts at 5:19 and is mostly organisational — find in note, headings, subfolders, pinning — plus a lock at 5:56.
- Markdown import and export at 7:36 is the interoperability answer for anyone who assumed Notes was a one-way door.
- Apple Intelligence gets two chapters, at 6:43 and 7:12, which dates the video to the 2025 release cycle more precisely than its upload date does.
