5 Notes and Reminders niceties
Never lose nuggets of genius on scraps of paper again – instead, store them safely in these two apps
1 Format your notes
Click the format menu (Aa) to give notes titles and headings. In Notes’ preferences, you can set the first line of new notes to be a title or heading. Even if you don’t format notes, be mindful the first two lines are shown in the sidebar.
2 Work with attachments
The Share buttons in Safari and Maps can add content to specific notes as a visual preview and large button. In Notes, click the button that shows four squares to browse such attachments by category.
3 Temporary lists
Click the checklist button (or use ß+ç+l) to turn the current or selected lines into a checklist. Click, or press ß+ç+u , to mark an item as done. This is great for quick lists, but it’s wise to still use Reminders for more complex ones.
4 Share notes
Click the Share button to send the current note to the likes of Mail and Facebook. If a note is stored in iCloud, not just on your Mac (check in the sidebar), click the Add People button to invite someone else to collaborate on it.
