Are you switching from Evernote to the Notes app, or just want to move a note or two? You can easily import notes from Evernote to Notes.
Start by checking out our tutorial on how to export notes from Evernote. Then, once you have the files you need, follow this tutorial to import those notes into your Notes app.
Evernote is a robust note-taking application with availability across multiple platforms, but it does have its limitations. For instance, the Evernote Basic plan only allows you to use the app on two devices for free. So, maybe you’ve decided to use another app in addition to Evernote. Or, maybe the time comes when you want to switch to a different note-taking app completely.
You can easily export notes from Evernote to a file that can then be imported to another note-taking application, and here’s how.
The iPhone’s native Notes app has received a multitude of changes in some of the most recent iterations of iOS, but one thing Apple always falls short of adding is a character counter.
Most of the text editors and word processors available today incorporate some form of fundamental support for character or word counting, and so it’d be nice if the Notes app fell into that category. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called countingNotes by iOS developer CydiaGeek can make it happen.
Random events happen throughout the day, sometimes prompting you to jot things down in your Notes app, so you don’t forget them. But wouldn’t it be great if you type notes to yourself without having to unlock your handset?
Notepad is a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developers NeinZedd9 and Ayden Panhuyzen that makes this possible. The tweak adds an easily-accessible note-taking interface directly to the Lock screen so you can begin typing notes whenever you need to.
Whenever you need to remember something important, your iPhone’s Notes app is always around to help with that. But when it comes time to delete your notes, sometimes an excited finger can go on to delete more than you’ve bargained for; these are commonly called “accidents.”
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called NotesConfirmToDelete by iOS developer Frozen Penguin is now available in Cydia and aims to mitigate the number of note deletion-related accidents you’ll incur on your jailbroken handset.

The Stickies app on Mac is a convenient tool for creating digital notes. You can pop Stickies onto your desktop just like you can put physical sticky notes on your desk.
While it’s a really simple app that comes in handy, it does offer a list feature that makes it even more practical. You can make lists for tasks, shopping, ideas, and more. Here’s how to create and format lists in your Stickies.
Your Mac has a nifty feature called Stickies which are basically digital sticky notes. And, for those who have used or still use physical sticky notes, you know how handy they can be. You can jot down a reminder, an idea, or a to-do so that you don’t forget it.
Having these Stickies on your Mac lets you accomplish the same thing. So, for emails in the Mail app that you need to follow up on, want to read later, or just want to keep close at hand, turn them into sticky notes.
Notability for iOS is one of the most popular note-taking apps for students and professionals alike, and this powerhouse application has gotten even more powerful with a recent update. The two headlining features of the update, Handwriting Search and Multi-Note, are game changers that make Notability even more of a worthy contender in the iOS App Store.
Apple's added a pair of new QR code and document scanner options to iOS 12 that can be accessed quickly by pressing the Notes or Camera icon on the Home screen with 3D Touch.
Dear iDB Diary,
Today I started journaling. Did you know writing in a journal is a great for your mind? It’s true. I read about it in an interesting article from the University of Rochester Medical Center. Jotting down a short log of important moments helps to improve memory and creates a time capsule of life’s milestones. Journaling is also great for thinking through a problem by allowing a different part of your brain to work through an issue.
I spent some time researching, and I found a few great apps that work well for keeping my journal on my iPhone or iPad.
