Capture
Notes, journals & checklists
Write or dictate, and drop photos, voice, links and checklists right into a note
Create one
Tap + and choose Note, Journal or Checklist. New notes go into the notebook you’re looking at.
| Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Note | Anything — ideas, plans, meeting prep, reference |
| Journal | Dated entries about your day |
| Checklist | Lists you tick off: add, tick, edit and delete items |
Dictate
Hold the microphone and speak. Dictation runs on your device with its built-in speech recognition, in the language you chose in Settings → Language.
Put more inside a note
Tap and hold in the text to insert:
- Photo or video — from the camera or your library
- Voice recording
- Web page — the AI reads it and adds a summary
- Checklist
- Link
You can also paste links, pictures and content from other apps — up to 10 pictures at a time.
The AI reads what you embed: up to 20 links and 20 files per note.
Change a note’s type
The AI may recognise what a note is and give it a smart type — a Recipe, Receipt, Reminder, Task, Person, Event, Meal plan, Booking or Quote — with the details laid out for that type. Change it yourself with the Note type picker. See What the AI does.
The note’s toolbar
Every note has a small pill with:
- Edit
- Meta data — when and where it was created, its type and keywords. Tap the place to open it in Maps.
- Private — keep this note away from all AI. See Privacy.
Read again asks the AI to re-read a note — useful after a big edit. If you’ve changed the AI’s title or summary, it asks before replacing your edits.
Copy and share
From a note’s ⋯ menu: Copy the note, checklist or transcript, or share it.
