    MacOS Shortcuts "get current webpage from Safari" returns error: The requested operation is not supported. Safari Reader is unavailable.

    I just want to do the simplest thing you could possibly think of... Send the content of Safari Reader, or the open/active web page in Safari, to a new note. This should be built into Apple, but I guess they're under pressure from companies like Pocket not to allow people to do this, I don't...

    iPad Pro There seems to be an issue with the Notes app on iPadOS 15.

    I was able to replicate this issue with multiple Apple Pencil and iPad Pro units at the Apple Store, even when Wi-Fi was turned off (which caused one of them to think it was being stolen and make a loud alarm sound, guess it was a first for the employees there who were more than understanding...

    Using Siri to tag in Notes 🥵

    Using Siri to tag something in the Notes app doesn’t show up as an active tag #️⃣ It just shows up as text with a hashtag at the front of it. However, when you use the keypad it works perfectly – turns yellow, is active and will get sorted and organised - as it ought. Dictating, “new line” or...

    Series 7 comes with a great mini keyboard, but no Apple Notes app (yet!). So here's a work-around I've found to take notes on your Series 7 using the keyboard: Make a Siri shortcut that either: • Creates a new reminder in a "Watch notes" folder in the Reminders app • Creates a new email to...

    Universal lockable notes app that can import text files

    I've tried to use the stock Notes app for this, and though it meets most of my needs, I'm looking for an alternative. I have a bunch of plain text files (hundreds) that I want to put into a Notes-type app. I'm willing to keep these all in their own self-contained Notes-type app. My only real...
