CybersecKyle<p>Windows Notepad gets Markdown support before Apple Notes....WTH??!!</p><p>Hands on with Windows 11 Notepad's new markdown support <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/hands-on-with-windows-11-notepads-new-markdown-support/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bleepingcomputer.com/news/micr</span><span class="invisible">osoft/hands-on-with-windows-11-notepads-new-markdown-support/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Notepad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Notepad</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a></p>
Tevin<p>It's surprising that the creator of Markdown, John Gruber still thinks "Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers." today.</p><p>What he created has long since grown into much more than that.</p><p><a href="https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/06/04/apple-notes-markdown" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">daringfireball.net/linked/2025</span><span class="invisible">/06/04/apple-notes-markdown</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.tevinzhang.com/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.tevinzhang.com/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.tevinzhang.com/tags/JohnGruber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnGruber</span></a></p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>" What if you lost your <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> " (access or data, same problem) is the thing that should prompt you to, right now, make a recurring reminder to backup your notes to a standard format. I use "Exporter" from the app store: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter</span><span class="invisible">/id1099120373?mt=12</span></a></p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>Apple Notes collapsed headers freaking out when I type on a single line.</p><p>I like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> collapsing sections but formatting in general in Apple Notes feels clunky and weird. In an era of "markdown is everywhere" I wish we could use MD in Notes and do away with some of this madness.</p>

CybersecKyle<p>Is it to much of an ask to have Apple Notes to support Markdown?!</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a></p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>55 seconds to learn the quick, easy, right (AND TOTALLY UNINTUITIVE, APPLE) way to link <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleReminders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleReminders</span></a></p>
CodeMacLife<p>The family computer needs replacing. I thought I would move away from Apple. However, my wife and son would like to stay within the Apple ecosystem. Here's what I have come up with so far. </p><p>Obviously, the prices and hardware could change by the time I make the purchase.</p><p><a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/MacMini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacMini</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a></p>
mb<p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> really needs native Markdown support. Been trying to get a markdown url link to append into an Apple Note corectly without success. Same shortcut to put it into a Craft note took less than 2 minutes and it just works...</p>
Aaron Lord :csharp:<p>Toying with the idea of migrating to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a>. I've imported a couple notebooks from <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Evernote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Evernote</span></a> to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a>, but I have 2 years of data on Notion that can't be imported there. Also, Apple Notes on Windows via iCloud web interface does not handle images. Most of my work note-taking involves screenshots.</p>
zeldman<p>Orange link text on a white background is possibly the least readable, most inaccessible design choice ever made on a mainstream product from a beloved company that’s practically worshipped for its design savvy. <a href="https://front-end.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a>, please do better. 😡</p><p><a href="https://front-end.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://front-end.social/tags/contrast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>contrast</span></a> <a href="https://front-end.social/tags/WCAG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WCAG</span></a></p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>YEARS back before Evernote was stripped for parts I used to use my ScanSnap to dump scans directly into it.</p><p>I missed that and built a free little script to do the same in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/KrVcf2nN0b8?si=rMxEQHpaGtkGXhOT" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/KrVcf2nN0b8?si=rMxEQH</span><span class="invisible">paGtkGXhOT</span></a></p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>Did you know that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleReminders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleReminders</span></a> is sort of a secret power tool for projects and todos?</p><p>It even has a kanban view.</p><p>And clicking any one of those icons on the reminders shown? Opens the project note in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a>. Easy. Simple built in tools.</p><p>Apple Reminders &gt; View Menu &gt; as Columns (you can make new columns which show up as sections in list view)</p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>Unbelievable. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleShortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleShortcuts</span></a> cannot search <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> if any matched note has a tag.</p><p>Regression bugs happen but I feel like maybe this one should have been caught by a test suite. It's pretty basic (can apple shortcuts search apple notes for a note that has a tag without just totally choking).</p>
Kyle Reddoch<p>So I’ve been trying to use Apple Notes as my notes “Brain” so to say. I keep finding myself wanting to go back to Notion due to the lack of functionality in Apple Notes.</p><p>I’m thinking about switching apps. What does everyone use as their go to note taking/organizing app?</p><p>Some that I’m considering is Drafts, Bear, and Obsidian. </p><p>Plz share for maximum reach on the <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a>. </p><p><a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Notes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Notes</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Notetaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Notetaking</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apps</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a></p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>If you use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleNotes</span></a> (very handy, love it) but, like me, don't love that it's a data silo, you can, like me, use the app "Exporter" to back them up to markdown text files. I export monthly and am ready to switch to a different text based system whenever. <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter</span><span class="invisible">/id1099120373?mt=12</span></a></p>
