Notes (Apple): Difference between revisions

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 only for locked notes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=iOS 16: Everything New With Notes and Reminders |url=https://www.macrumors.com/guide/notes-reminders-ios-16/ |access-date=2023-03-26 |website=MacRumors |date=September 12, 2022 |language=en |archive-date=March 26, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326151351/https://www.macrumors.com/guide/notes-reminders-ios-16/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

 

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.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gruber|first1=John|title=Mountain Lion|url=http://daringfireball.net/2012/02/mountain_lion|website=Daring Fireball|access-date=September 4, 2014|archive-date=March 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200306012122/https://daringfireball.net/2012/02/mountain_lion|url-status=live}}</ref> In Mountain Lion, notes were moved to a separate Notes application.<ref>{{cite web |title=OS X Mountain Lion - See everything the new OS X can do. |url=https://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#notes |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120615184657/https://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#notes |archive-date=June 15, 2012 |access-date=February 22, 2012 |publisher=[[Apple Inc.|Apple]] |at=Section "Notes"}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Titlow|first=John Paul|title=Apple's Convergence of Desktop and Mobile Continues With Mountain Lion|url=http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/apples_convergence_of_desktop_and_mobile_continues.php|publisher=[[ReadWrite]]|access-date=April 24, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421084135/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/apples_convergence_of_desktop_and_mobile_continues.php|archive-date=April 21, 2012}}</ref> Created notes are synced through all the user's [[Apple Inc.|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|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 [[hyperlink]]s can also be added to a note. Attachments cannot be viewed on iOS devices.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.macworld.com/article/1167895/up_close_with_mountain_lion_notes.html | title=Up close with Mountain Lion: Notes | publisher=[[Mac Publishing]] | work=[[Macworld]] | date=July 26, 2012 | access-date=September 3, 2012 | author=Breen, Christopher | archive-date=August 29, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120829012500/http://www.macworld.com/article/1167895/up_close_with_mountain_lion_notes.html | url-status=live }}</ref>
