- How does the Calendar Reminder feature work? Give Noted access to your Apple calendar in Settings, then add a reminder to a note. Noted sends a notification before the lesson, deadline or meeting so you revise the right note at the right time.
- How do I delete, archive or restore notes and notebooks? Touch and hold a note, or swipe left on it, on iPhone and iPad (right-click on Mac) and choose Delete or Archive. Archived notes can be restored from the Archive; deleted notes and notebooks are gone for good.
- How do I use the iOS 18 Shortcuts for Noted? Open Control Center, tap Edit Controls, search for Noted and add Start Recording or Create note. Each control then works from the Lock Screen and Control Center without opening the app. Play Last is available as a Siri and Shortcuts action.
- How do I use Ask AI in Noted? Open a note, tap ✨ and choose Ask AI, then type a question in plain language. Ask AI answers from that note's text and transcript; with a transcript, tap the timestamp to jump to that moment. It needs iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence.
- How do I lock and unlock a note with a password? On iPhone and iPad, touch and hold the note and tap Lock Note, then set a password or turn on Face ID or Touch ID; on macOS, click the Lock icon next to the trash icon and choose Lock note. To unlock, touch and hold the note and tap Remove Lock. Lock status syncs to all your devices, and a forgotten password cannot be recovered.
- How do I organise my notes and notebooks? Keep notes in notebooks, move them by dragging (macOS) or by touching and holding a note and tapping Move (iPhone and iPad), pin the ones you use most, and use #TimeTags and search to find anything later. Notebooks can also be archived.
- How do I search for a #TimeTag, note or notebook? Tap the Tags tab and pick a #TimeTag to see every note that uses it, or use the Search tab to find notebooks, notes and transcripts by any word in them. On a Mac, use the Tags tab and the search box in the toolbar.
- How do I share a note or recording? On iPhone and iPad, tap ⋯ → Share and choose Share via Web, PDF, TXT or M4A. On a Mac, click the Share button next to ⋯. A PDF keeps your formatting; the web link lets someone read the note in a browser without the app.
- How do I use Split View to work on two notes at once? On iPad, touch and hold a note and drag it to the edge of the screen to open it beside the one you are in. You can type in one note while the other plays, and both stay editable.
- How do I add and customise Noted widgets? On iPhone or iPad, touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget. On a Mac, right-click the desktop and choose Edit Widgets. Find Noted and add a widget. Widgets open favourite notes or start a recording with one tap.
