Notes shortcuts

Shortcuts for managing the Notes app experience across Apple devices.

Use these shortcuts to quickly take notes, open recent notes, or append to the same note regularly.

These also work well with Apple Watch (which doesn’t have a native Notes app).

Notes is Apple’s default writing tool, going from a stitch-bound simulcrum of a real notebook into a powerful tag-based digital archiving tool.

While the Notes actions aren’t updated for iOS 15 yet, the native actions allow for quick access, repeatabilty, and sharing functions way beyond what the app’s features provide – hopefully Tags get added as well soon and Shortcuts users can go wild.
