Importing Notes

<aside> đź’ˇ Automatic Import from Apple Notes

Apple does not (yet) offer an interface for direct access to the pre-installed Notes app. SnipNotes has no access to this data and cannot import it automatically.

From the Share Sheet

You can use the share sheet in many other apps to quickly send text and images to SnipNotes. Tap on the “Share” button in another app and select SnipNotes from the upper row of icons. If you don’t see SnipNotes, scroll the icons to the right and tap on “More“ to add it.
