The best notes app is the one already in your pocket right now.

The best notes app is the one that you have right in your pocket right now. Let me show you how to set it up in just a few seconds. You're gonna create a new note and you're gonna call it inbox. Not a folder, one note. Type the word inbox on the first line. Once you've done that, you want to go back out to the homepage of your notes and you're gonna swipe to the right and you're gonna pin that note to the top. Every time you have a quick thought, you're gonna go straight to that note and you're gonna dump it right there. You want to put notes on your lock screen. Go to your lock screen, tap and hold, click customize and add the Notes widget right there to the lock screen. Now, notes can capture and be one button away, even when your screen is locked. You search like a pro. Notes reads your handwriting and it can read it inside of the photos. So take a photo of a whiteboard, a page from a book, or an article from a newspaper. And now you'll be able to go into the photos and search one word from that article and bring it up. You can select all of that text and paste it into your notes app. Then tag it with hashtags. This is probably the only place where hashtags are actually relevant right now. Hashtags ideas, hashtag work. Notes turns into a real tag menu at the bottom of the app. You don't need a new app, you just need the one that came in the box. You just need to use the one that came in the box.
