With the rumors and leaks lending strong indications that we'll see some sort of rich text functionality for Notes in iOS 5.1, developer Ryan Petrich decided he doesn't like waiting.
As a result, Rich Text For Mail — a tweak dedicated to adding rich text support to Email — has been updated to support Notes as well.
The good news is that you no longer have to wait for iOS 5.1 to receive a feature that may or may not be included with the final build...
The Notes app is a great app for saving quick items that you need to get back to later, but often it's easy to forget that you wrote anything down in the first place.
With SBStickyNotes, forgetting just became a tad more difficult. That's because this tweak allows you to save favorite notes to you Home screen as a bookmark.
We've gone hands-on with SBStickyNotes on video; check inside to view the full walkthrough...
It's been a busy day for the Evernote team with not just one, but two apps being pushed out into Apple's App Store.
You probably know Evernote as the note-taking and archiving utility that helps to organize our digital lives, but did you also know that it can help you remember the people you meet, as well as the meals you've eaten?
Evernote's two new apps, Evernote Hello and Evernote Food, do just that, and the best part is that they seamlessly sync with your existing Evernote account, meaning all your Hello and Food notes are available anywhere on any internet-enabled device…
Need to jot down a quick phone number, recipe, directions, or an address? If you have an iPhone 4S, you could always rely on Siri, but what if you don't?
A simple solution would be QuickMemo — a Notification Center widget for jailbroken iOS 5 devices, which allows you to jot down notes with a simple swipe of the status bar.
It's not perfect, but QuickMemo is more than adequate to function as a scratch pad. Take a look inside for a video walkthrough that shows the widget in action...
Itching for a way to delete multiple notes on your iPhone? For some strange reason, Apple omitted the ability to mass delete notes. Instead, you're relegated to deleting notes one-by-one.
That can be extremely tedious, especially if you're a heavy user of the Notes app. But never fear, the jailbreak community is here, and they've brought along with them a handy solution in the form of MultiNoteDelete...
One of the most frustrating aspects about the stock Notes app, is that it can take too much effort to reference your notes in a quick manner.
Say, for instance, you're shopping at the grocery store, and you want to quickly reference the shopping list stored on your Notes app. Doing so can prove to be more time consuming that it needs to be.
Enter ToDoNotes, a recently created jailbreak tweak that gives you the ability to paste your most important notes right on your Spotlight page...
It's about time we started seeing some more Notification Center widgets roll in. After a few weeks of silence on the iOS 5 jailbreak front, iPhoneItalia has tipped us off that BigBoss has set up a new iOS 5 repository with multiple new entries.
We've already told you about ScreenLocker, the Orientation Lock button for your Notification Center. Now we'll go over NotificationShower. This widget is very similar to SBSettings' Fast Notes toggle, as it allows you to quickly jot down reminders...
Pastie.org is a place where you can type or paste anything. There's no user names or profiles, what you type or paste gets placed in chronological order with the other entries. If you're a fan of the service, you're going to love this next jailbreak tweak. Glue enables you to paste content to Pastie.org directly from the iOS Notes application.
Now instead having to open up Safari or another 3rd party application to access the Pastie service, you can simply upload from your Notes app with a single tap. This could save frequent users quite a few steps...
Although I'm not a developer, I have been able to play around extensively with iOS 4.2 on my iPad. Let me just reiterate the sentiments that it is indeed worth the hype. With new features like AirPlay, it's understandable that that ability to switch your fonts in the Notes app is playing second fiddle to all of the other enhancements.
Although iOS 4.2 is right around the corner, Apple has been one-upped with the release of the jailbreak tweak, NotesFont. Not only does this tweak bring the ability to change fonts in the native Notes app, it offers a lot more fonts than what Apple is planning to offer...
You probably already know you can sync your Google emails, calendars and contacts with your iPhone using Google Sync. But do you know you can also sync your iPhone notes with your Gmail account?
The only requirement for being able to sync your notes with Gmail is that your iPhone be updated to iOS 4. When you set up your Gmail account on your iPhone, you will now have the option to sync your notes.
If you have several Gmail account set up on your iPhone, you will be able to sync your notes to specific accounts. In the top left corner of the Notes.app, a new button will appear letting you choose what account you want to sync with.
One downside to this is that it's a one-way sync, which means that you can only sync your notes from your iPhone to your Gmail account. You can't sync from Gmail notes to your iPhone.
