Apple Notes
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- 06 archives (imported notes from my old phone and laptop, like Apple notes, Google Keep, etc.)
- I do this from time to time as a voice memo in Apple Notes. I just let myself talk through whatever is kicking around in my head, and when I'm done I have a convenient transcript and AI summary if I want.
- I mean, unless you’re using Siri or other voice application, Apple notes is about as frictionless as it gets?
- I basically babble a voice memo for a minute or two, and then send the voice memo’s transcript to AI to format nicely so that I can save it in Apple Notes or Notion or whatever.
- But for as simple as note-taking, Apple Notes works just fine. Easy entry frees the mind.
Cons
- I recently switched from Apple notes to Obsidian and this is very good advice.
- Your plugin made me finally switch from apple notes!
- Basically, an Apple Notes alternative that manually accesses part of my vault
- Parent context: I’ve tried Apple Notes for years! My issue is that it becomes a data graveyard. I write things down, but I never remember to go back and check them before the date or event. Reply: Reminders is far better than people real...
- Apple notes is still not perfect by the way, its kinda slow and it crashes every now and again, but it opens quickly and is really good for embedding youtube links and screenshots on mobile

Reply: Reminders is far better than people realize. I’m using it in column view as my kanban. The grocery list feature alone is fantastic
