Everywhere you are
iPhone and iPad
The iOS apps, and what is specific to them.
Get it from the App Store. One download covers iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
iPhone
The full product, plus a few things only iOS can do:
- Widgets on the home screen, lock screen and in Control Centre. See widgets
- Siri and Shortcuts. See Siri and Shortcuts
- Apple Reminders sync, two-way. See Apple Reminders
- The share sheet, from any app. See the share sheet
- Apple Watch, if you have one. See Apple Watch
iPad
Everything the iPhone does, plus the wide-screen layout: a persistent sidebar, list tabs and a right-hand panel. See on a big screen.
With a keyboard attached it behaves like the desktop. Every keyboard shortcut works, including Shift-click ranges on a trackpad. If you use an iPad with a Magic Keyboard, read the desktop guidance rather than the mobile guidance.
Worth setting up
- 1
A lock screen widget
Removes the app-opening step entirely, which is the single biggest change you can make to capture.
- 2
Notification permission
Without it, reminders cannot reach you and no in-app setting can fix that.
- 3
A Shortcut for Siri
Speaking a thing while your hands are busy is the capture route people keep.
