We’ve all been in a situation where we find ourselves in a frantic scramble for pen and paper/ to jot down a fleeting thought, note, or number. With Quick Notes on iPad, you can leave this particular problem in the past. Quick Notes is a digital notepad that is effortlessly accessible no matter what you’re doing on your iPad, offering an ideal modern solution to an age-old problem.
If you’re browsing through different websites or using various apps, you do not have to close them and open the Notes app separately to write something down. Instead, you can use a hidden iPad screen gesture to quickly access Quick Notes. If you toggle on Swipe Finger from Corner under Multitasking & Gestures settings, Quick Notes appears over any app or screen on your iPad when you swipe up from the bottom right corner of your screen using your finger or Apple Pencil. But that’s not all –- Quick Notes is incredibly versatile, and you can do much more than just typing out some notes.
You can also use the Markup tool to sketch something, paste Safari URLs and hyperlinks, insert screenshots and photos, add mentions and tags, and create important to-do lists on the go. All of the Quick Notes you make can be found in the Notes app under the Quick Notes folder. If you’ve used the Add Link button to insert a link in a Quick Note, the Quick Note will also show up as a thumbnail when you’re browsing that website. If you’re not sold yet, here’s the best part about this feature — if you own another Apple device like a Mac or an iPhone, these Quick Notes are automatically synced across all your other devices.
