- If you use Apple Notes for research or as a second brain, This channel is for you! This video is an update to the original we made a few years ago over on our @visualflorida channel. Made with iOS 17.2.1, it allows for the problem with the shortcut action “Find all notes” when a note contains a tag, or a link to another note, by substituting keywords, which we build in the companion video, link below. Please remember that notes in your “note folder” cannot contain tags or links, at least until Apple can correct this issue.

Thank you for putting this video on UA-cam. I struggle to grasp shortcuts no matter how many tutorials I watch. Just doesn’t stick at all. However I’m going to watch again and follow along and hope it does stick this time. I’ve tried your suggestion about looking at built in shortcuts but it will not go in. Thanks again.
I have an idea for a video that attempts to answer the questions: what is a shortcut and what are they good for? Please stay tuned it may take a a few days to get this done. Thanks again for watching.
If the shortcut works, Add to Home Screen to complete the exercise. Otherwise go to Start. Great instructions; IOS 17.3 has already changed things but your explanation got me there in the end. Very satisfying or very frustrating depending on your results. Thanks though, I’m now open to creating shortcuts - last time I did this was .bat files in DOS.
Thanks. I still have my windows command line (CLI) handbook even though I don’t have any windows machines.
Just incredible. I like how it was straightforward and informative. Actionable intelligence. Good show ole chap!
Much appreciated!
Thank you, was what I was looking for. 👍
Thanks and thank you for letting me know.
Can't wait to see the shortcut for the keywords
I made one awhile back about keywords that you might like. It's here:

I plan to make one that lets you add keywords using the share menu. Coming soon. Thanks for watching!
Hi John, my name is Bob. I am in Australia and I quite impressed by the shortcuts that you’ve created. It certainly fits with my needs and the generosity of you showing lemon creating them. I’ve become a member of buy me a coffee. Just wondering if I can pay a one off fee instead of the monthly amount is an option? Also, I don’t have the diligence and time to create the Shortcuts myself. Is it possible to get copies of them? I’m prepared to pay a fee if that’s appropriate.? I am in Australia and so there is probably an 18 hour time difference between us and I’m happy to do private messaging through email or whatever social media you prefer
Hi Bob -
Thanks for your kind words and for supporting the channel! Yes it is possible to make a one time contribution. Just select that option through the buy me a coffee link.
At the present time I’m not set up to provide the actual shortcut files. This is partly due to security concerns and partly because I am considering a business model. I’m a bit overwhelmed by the popularity of this little channel and I’m in the process of working out how best to proceed. I’ll definitely keep you posted. In the meantime try checking out the Shortcuts gallery. It’s available at the bottom-right of the iPhone Shortcuts app. Look for one called “Remember This”. Thanks again!
Hi, question: what sense does it make do store 'No text was entered' ? I would prefer to ask for a proper title first and then as 2. step for note body to save the created note - but good tips anyhow thanks a lot!
Thanks! Of course the beauty of shortcuts is that you can customize them to your liking.
Wish you were more specific in what you want the shortcut to do. Show how you would do it without the shortcut, then create the shortcut followed how the shortcut works better. Just my thoughts.
Thanks for the feedback and I’ll work on that. Thanks for watching.
Instead of creating a new note each time, could you append to one main note with date/time for each additional item you add?
There's one in the Shortcuts App Gallery called "Remember This". I believe it does exactly what you are looking for. Just select Gallery at the bottom of the Shortcuts App and search for Remember This. Thanks for watching!
I got confused, when you went to favourites that you created, I don't have anything in favourites ?
Sorry for the delayed response. I’ve had a few comments about favorites so I’m going to try and make a video specific to them as soon as I can. Thanks for watching and for your patience.
I really can’t get my head around shortcuts. I understand one command can action several tasks but thinking of a shortcut for everyday use and how to build it is, I’m afraid, beyond me. Even building a simple shortcut
Try looking in the shortcuts app gallery and see how those are built. That might help. Thanks for watching!
Me too! Just cannot grasp it at all. I can build complicated spreadsheets on Excel but shortcuts are not sinking in at all
there is tones of shortcuts and many very useful. Try automatization in the same app. I made and installed one to turn off/on Wifi when you leave your home. Or any Wifi you use daily. All according GPS. This helps to save battery. Any many others. You need time to go thru them all.
The No.1 most annoying thing about Notes is that when you add a note using a Shortcut, the widget doesn’t update. So if you make quick notes without opening them, they just don’t show up in the freaking widget…😬
I never noticed that but sure enough! Wonder if it is fixed in IOS 14? Doesn’t look like it.
Am I just “dumb” or why does all of this seem so/to complex for the average layperson? O was lost after the third command.
Do all of this come broken down into terms that seniors not quite so advanced, and where? Thank you
Hi and thanks for watching. Try this channel. He’s pretty good:

Far too complicated, for what end. Why not just open the app and create a new note?
