Hey everyone. My name is Nicholas and I make videos most about my experiences with minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature 🌱. So if that sounds good to you consider subscribing and I'll see you in the next one ✏️ - Навчання та стиль
I think Apple Notes is great and now have over 2000 notes. It's simple but powerful. I have supplemented Apple notes with shortcuts. When I say "Hey Siri, remember," a note is created with the current date. Everything I say that day ends up in this note. The next day comes a new version with a current date. So I have a simple journal that I can "process" in the evening. Or in the review it is not important, then I just delete it :-).
This is smart
Wow, I really like how you use it !!
Can you break this down for me?
So that sounds dumb. I mean how do you get Siri to go back to the same note throughout the day? If that makes sense?
@@JuliePike820 I could provide you with the shortcut.
Reminders app in iphone now has quite good feature - make a reminder list, change its type to Shopping and it will automatically sort any grocery item into smart categories like produce, oils, bakery etc. Also can be shared, using it with my wife.
for some reason the sharing of reminder does not work for me. I was very excited to start using it for groceries but had to keep using Notes :/
I’ll give reminders a shot 😄
Yup, I use both Samsung Galaxy phone & an iPhone 13, Reminder is better than Samsung Note. It’ll intuitively categorize my groceries into useful sub-categories, and it can be location-triggered, like Reminder pops up asking me to buy when I’m leaving gym, as it asked “when” to trigger beforehand. That’s highly convenient!
Hey! How can you uncheck all reminders all at once from the grocery list without having to uncheck every single one on their own? Thanks for your help!

1. the simplicity is so refreshing
2. yet, this setup still feels much more productive than the others you see on YT
3. given the quantity of tutorials we have already, seeing the way someone uses Notes is more useful right now
great job :)
Thank you 😊
Using the core Apple apps has been a game changer for me - I use Mail, Calendar, Notes and Reminders quite extensively for both personal and business stuff. Some of the points you made about notes I already did, although I have not split my to-do into separate days. I might trial this and see how that works.
A game changer? So what were you using before?
Tons of additional apps that don’t work together and have to be upgraded and learned from scratch. Believe it or not, apple knows best what we need 😂
Just a little tip- the new version of Reminders has much better grocery list features, that place items in categories (dairy, produce etc).

@@snkrs-wrld123 I don’t think it’s possible. However, you can create a list with all the items unchecked and save it as a template (in the ellipsis menu on the top right corner). Then each time you want to use it, go the main ellipsis menu (not within a specific list), select Templates, press the grocery template and give it a name and it’s ready to use
@@arielspalter7425 Grazie 🤝
I totally overlooked this mighty helpful little app in my devices 😮 This video really helped me get started! Thanks! :D
Really great tips, thanks dude! I need to simplify my system so I actually use it.
Great way to be clear and practical with technology, Tour videos always make me clam and always useful. Thanks Nicholas ✌🏼❄️😇
Thanks!
I have been using notes haphazardly till now and always wanted to organise the notes app apart from organising myself which is somewhat difficult at this age! Thanks a ton !
Definitely learned a couple new things today. Your videos are always appreciated! 🙌
Thanks as always Brian!
I use Things 3 which really has helped me keep my life so organized.
First here! Just wanted to say your videos are awesome man. It really turned my life around.
Thank you so much!
Great video! I use notes a lot but files is where I have gone paperless including manuals 😊
Thanks so much for simplify ❤
oh Apple Notes App is my overly used app haha it's really a game changer for me! thanks for featuring it!
My better half, that was cute ❤ I love the notes app haha
I like your way of organizing. I might just have to implement some of these tips. First time commenter here!
Thanks!
Totally with you on using Notes. It’s also great for keeping receipts organised. Hope you have a nice trip.
Thanks!
I hadn't thought to use it for receipts! I won't need to keep the bunch of physical tickets anymore, yay!

@@snkrs-wrld123 I had a look. If you go to the list, then press and hold a spot that is blank, you will get, Copy Add Link Checklist. Press Checklist, then press Untick All.
@@snkrs-wrld123 Hi, I worked it out. Press and hold a blank spot on the tod do list. Press checklist then uncheck all
I’d cast another vote for Reminders. I do use Notes quite a bit for for to-do items, including grocery lists, Reminders is excellent.

@@snkrs-wrld123 It doesn’t look there is a way to do that with the reminders app. You have to uncheck them one by one.
biggg fan of the notes app here 🖐I also do the grocery list sharing that feature is amazing. love the simplicity of your set up~
Right? It’s so useful. Thanks Cass!
Great video! How do you uncheck the things from your checklist all at once without having to check every one on their one? Thanks for your help!
I use GTD and use folders for now, next, later adding dated tasks when I organise I move to a folder but then this allows a shortcut to run every night that then moves things into the todo folder only when they are required. Unless its a location reminder and they automatically trigger.
Mindblowing😮
This is genius! Why did I never think of this?
Thanks Elizabeth!
Thank you, Nicholas, for the video, I learned it for myself in the organization.
It would b interesting to watch a video on how to organize your files, structure. And keep in sync (preferably in Apple way)
Thank's you again)
Noted 😄
Great tips man
I identify. I try to use as few apps as possible other than those that already exist or come with the Apple ecosystem. Of course if they work, and with a minimalistic approach of life, it gets the job done,
I just got myself a MacBook and was looking for an AppleNotes video and bang! There you are right when I need it! Thanks for the video and for the honesty about the app. Will use it from now on.
Glad this helped, enjoy your Mac!!
Great video!
Because I'm cross-platform, I use Google Keep for a lot of things (lists, notes, photos, screenshots, etc.), but I still use Notes as well for stuff on my iPhones.
I also like using the reminder app. A more barebones version of notes
Haven’t used that app in years, been hearing it’s better than it used to be!
Great information with the *RIGHT* amount of whimsy
This is a great video! ❤
How do you lock a folder in Notes?
I know how to lock an actual note, but not the folder.
Any tips?
I don’t blame you, being here in Canada, they are paperless but after insurance kicking in and the remaining or the bill being payed? Sometimes they still give me paper invoices; and I still find in inefficient, because I can’t immediately fill it immediately after receiving the print out
Hi ,I want you to share your experience that I use app note(original from apple) why drain battery and heater than playing games?
Frugal, minimalist, investor. An Elixir of wealth.
Your videos are amazing! Greetings from Brazil🎉🎉
Thanks!
So do you just make a To-Do list each day or let it keep running ?
Do you just delete a note for the day at the end of the day If you’ve checked off all of your tasks? Or do you just clear the note?
What about Apple Reminders? Do you also use that?
Good!!
I subscribed to you as soon as your page was recommended and I started watching the videos. Your Ghost of Tsushima reference only solidified that you're the type of creator I want to support haha. Knew it was a good decision. Great vid as always!
Thanks so much!! Definitely one of my all time favorites.
These are all good uses, but i feel like the reminders app is better suited to half of these
Would be curious how/why you use Notes for passwords.
Why not just use reminders for it? Its a way quicker app for your use case.
I use apple notes to keep track of bills. I add bullet points for each bill and when it clears I fill in the bullet points after checking my checking account.
It's funny that you said to use the Ghost Stance from GOT. I'm replaying the game for the 5th time now. What an interesting coincidence.
Top tier game
Here I'm regretting buying an iphone it's hindering my every day to day task - & ability to work and here you are organising life with it how is that even possible
What Chair do you have?
I was waiting to see how you were going to use the apple pencil, 9 min and never found out
Were ideas though, my folder section looks crazy, I have like 20 different categories. But I need them all =/
Nice, How do you make thse animations from i pad? Pls make a vido
Why no reminder feature in notes?
Hi do you know if iPad mini6 fits in Bellroy light mini 4L?
Not really sure 😅
the use cases are interesting, but anyone that has made serious work know that many of his examples are living bottlenecks, fully electronic devices are good for efficiency but not for idea creation or so, personally I use Up Note that is basically Apple Notes with markdown support for 30 bucks
I mainly come to these videos to be told how to specifically interact with the Subscribe button.
Sometimes the handwritten parts of a note disappear. The note itself and the text typed with the keyboard are still there but the handwritten parts or sketches are just gone. Somebody else has the same issue?
0:05 Can someone tell me how I can get that note?
"Chimken", hehe (not sure if that was an easter egg, but somehow felt the need to point it out anyways:).
Also Burga!! Always fun to see the easter eggs.
cool video, ceep going ;)
Why not use Apple reminders for groceries list and share it with your partner?
Pretty much unrelated to the subject of the video - I could listen to you read the dictionary. Man, great, calming sound quality and voice… very meditative 👍
I appreciate that 😄
Next video should be hair care routine!!
There isn’t much of a routine 😂
I dont want everything to be fully electronic... I'm on with paper documents.
I dont understand why you don’t use Apple reminders though
I cant get over how much you sound like moistcritical
Why don’t you get an 11 inch iPad Pro?
Matt?? 😮
The only problem is you have to own an apple device to access the notes. Which is why I dont use it
Currently I use apple Notes as a junk drawer -
Türkçe ??
Absolutely do not recommend using it. Your notes can get deleted. Texts overlap and become jumbled.

Remove that ugly subscribe watermark on the side. Doesn't go with your vibe.
Great video!
