SideNotes is an application for making quick notes. Originally, it was created for macOS only to take notes on the side of the screen. This application is an iOS / iPadOS version of SideNotes. It allows you to take your notes comfortably wherever you are. Features: - iCloud Synchronization - to synchronize your notes between your devices - Markdown - to format your notes; markdown markup is visible only while editing notes - Tasks - to keep up with your daily duties - Themes - to personalize you SideNotes - Note colors - to highlight important things - Note and Folder URLs - to get to any note or folder from a different app - Text settings - to adjust text view to your needs Please note that SideNotes for iOS / iPadOS isn't an exact copy of the desktop version. SideNotes for macOS is also sold separately. The look and feel are very similar, your notes are all editable, but there are some differences. For example, this app doesn't provide file shortcuts.
Great App but still some potential!
This app is incredible for my mac, a quick side swipe and I have notes. The ease of use functionality is still missing from ios unfortunately. Some options that would really make this a 5 star app include - Widgets; having this option is incredible for Applenotes and other notes apps - Shortcuts: prebuilt shortcuts or just the option under apps to include sidenotes. - Siri integration: I don’t know how feasible this is, it would be excellent but the development requirements may be a bit beyond scope so I am not necessarily demanding this but it would be a benefit.
United StatesFinally a keeper!
I have tried and purchased a lot of note taking apps. However, this one is the best for short term notes and quick reference items and lists. Lots of customizations available. Love the iCloud sync between my devices, works flawlessly. Just the right amount of features without feeling bloated. I can’t recommend this enough.
United StatesPromising but Static
A promising note-taking solution hindered by a lack of options to sync with other cloud services than iCloud. There are no integrations to move notes to a PKM.
United StatesNeat App, Great Support!
I recently purchased this app on my mac and ios and its been extremely handy. Apple notes is my usual app but the lack of themes, markdown support, etc make it hard to do everything I want on it. Sidenotes fills that void, the only thing missing is app widgets for ios. But I recently reached out to the developer about my desire for widgets and it seems like it will be something coming in the future! The quick response and willingness to learn/improve is really what made this app a full 5 stars for me.
United StatesTruly amazing!
I recall using this app years back in school. Of course, everything was novelty back when. Fast forward several years and I found myself needing something just like this to take and have some notes always handy, and I recalled this app. I downloaded it for my iMac and to my surprise, my old notes I had saved in iCloud were still present. It was neat seeing the old junk I jest back then, mostly command shortcuts to editing apps and some other random notes. However, after I started to use this app all over again, I felt a much greater sense of appreciation for it. Now, I can’t see myself without it as I am using it to gather information from different sources I will need for different projects. Main folders divide my projects and sheets within these folders are used to gather information in smaller categories as needed. I also want to say that I felt it was worth the buy and purchased the iPhone version and it runs as smoothly as the desktop. And it’s always nice to have the information there regardless of where I started the notes. Wow, I can recall when syncing information across computers using just one source was a real challenge, let alone doing it across different platforms.
United StatesGreat note taking solution, excited for updates
I transitioned from Notes app to SideNotes for the nice desktop functionality. Having my notes be ever-present is excellent, and I love the opportunity to create apple shortcuts. For example, when I start my workday I have a shortcut that opens teams, email, and creates a new sidenote for the day in an appropriate folder. Please add shortcuts support to iOS! :)
United StatesGreat little Notes app
# What I love so far is … * Colored backgrounds * Themes * Note and Folder URLs * Can create a Quick Note from the icon * Markdown in notes * Supports hidden Markdown links (URLs) # What I would love to see … * Drag and drop of list items and paragraphs within notes * Sub-folders * Folder icons * Full screen editing for notes * Sketch / drawing in notes * Tags or hashtag support # Summary Feels like a note taking app should feel. Clean, polished and pleasant interface. Splashes of color as the user desires to make for a more pleasing experience — one that encourages you to open the app and enjoy writing down your thoughts.
