Add sync with Apple Notes app
Eduard Metzger
Unfortunately, it's impossible to sync with Apple Notes. However, I'm wondering why? Are you looking for something like an export from Apple Notes and into NotePlan? Or would you use the note taking in both apps? Would love it if you could elaborate on your use case.

For me, it'd be great to be able to access shared notes with my family. Things like grocery lists, for example. They don't need NotePlan, and I definitely don't want to buy a license for everyone just to share a grocery list, however it would be great not to have to break up my work flow for those simple things.
To resolve my own use case, I'd consider a slightly more expensive family plan, for what it's worth.

Eduard Metzger This is something I was very much looking for when I was originally searching for a tool (and then landed on NotePlan). In fact, when I first came to NotePlan, I asked a similar question. There are certain things I prefer using Apple Notes for (all shared lists—ie: grocery, packing, and gift ideas—and freewriting when on the go). One of my main wishes is that I could search across everything, which would be possible if I only used NotePlan. This is one of the reasons I was trying to figure out an easy way to search within NotePlan using Spotlight (Apple Notes does a decent job of matching within the note from spotlight).

yes, I would use both of them. Sometimes it's handy to use a standalone app to work with notes, sometimes I need overall information.
Also, I have notes structured in Notes app, and I'm too lazy to move them to NotePlan. And if I decide not to use NotePlan later, I will have to move it back. Not confident yet, so I use NotePlan in "trial" mode, and this limitation forces me to use both apps.

Roman Geraskin Interesting! Thanks for sharing this. I think there's an app "Exporter", which can export from Apple Notes: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/exporter/id1099120373?l=en-GB&mt=12

Stacey I see, very interesting, thanks for sharing this. Makes total sense. I wish there would be an interface to Apple Notes, so far there's nothing comparable to what we have to Reminders and the Calendar.
Stacey
Eduard Metzger We can wish for the future. For now, we can celebrate the Reminders integration and all the great updates you've made on that recently 🎉
Eduard Metzger
Stacey For sure! 🙌
