Notes

A notes list holds rich text instead of tickable items, so ideas and reference material live in the same app as the work rather than in a separate notes app.

Creating one

Choose notes rather than tasks when you create the list. The choice is made at list level, so a list is one or the other.

Writing

Notes support formatting, and they save as you write. There is no save button.

Notes are cross-compatible between iOS and the web, so something written on your phone opens and edits correctly in a browser and the other way round.

When to use a note rather than a task

A task is something to do. A note is something to keep.

Meeting notes, a packing list you reuse, reference details, a draft: those are notes. If you find yourself writing a note that is really a list of things to do, it wants to be a task list, because only tasks get due dates, reminders and smart lists.

Sharing and protecting

Notes lists behave like task lists for everything else. They can be shared, locked, Vault-protected and archived.
