@_jacksmith 1) nope, unfortunately Apple notes doesn't have an API that I know of—I would have loved to go the other way, to make it easy for folks to import their stock notes. 2) interesting. I'll check it out! One thing I'm always struggling against is simplicity—I feel like that's actually the most important thing to guard in an app like this. For example, I built a social collaborative system into Better Notes, twice. In one case, you could tag other @people in notes, and your notes would appear in their stream. In another (more recent) branch, I wrote true collaborative editing, where multiple people could edit the same note at the same time, and it would diff out the changes, and do the right thing. Just like Apple's new feature in iOS 10. In both cases, the extra interface required to support these features, and the cognitive overload required by the user to understand them, just wasn't worth it. These are obviously heavier interactions than the one you're mentioning, and there are lots of things that are planned for Better Notes to make it robust. Just pointing out that I'm trying to be very careful about what makes it into shipping versions. The betas, that's a different story. ;)
