Notes on your phone and your Mac

Capture ideas on your phone, find them in the Notes inbox on your Mac, and turn them into documents.

Notes are where new writing starts. They sync both ways, work offline, and there’s no limit on how many you keep.

On your phone

Open the Notes tab and tap the add button. Notes support headings, bullets, highlights and comments.

On your Mac

  • Open Notes from the bottom of the file name menu in the top bar. A count shows how many are unread.
  • Or use the Notes button on the home screen, under Recent files.
  • Notes are listed down the left, with a red dot on any updated since you last read them.
  • Use the three dots at the end of the format bar to Save as document, Link to project, Share or Delete.
  • Inside a project, Notes shows that project’s linked notes first, with a View all notes option.

Turn a note into a document

Choose Save as document on your Mac. The note becomes a Markdown document with the full writing environment around it.
