Apple Notes is easily one of the most powerful apps pre-installed on the iPhone, and recently, Notes added a key shortcut that unlocks two hidden powers in the app: instant conversions and equations. Instant conversions using only an equals sign For a few years now, iOS has offered support for doing all kinds of unit and currency conversions. Generally, this feature has been available when highlighting text and opening a context menu that revealed the answer. But this year it got even easier

After I signed my contract to join my new job a month ago, I was so excited. Not only that I would join the company but also because I got to buy a new notebook. The weekend before my first day I headed to the local bookstore and spent a good amount of time browsing through the notebooks available and ended up with this happy orange one. Why am I so excited about a notebook then? Because it’s the most important tool I have as a software developer. When it comes to building software or solving

Converting paper documents into digital formats means you’ve got backups of your paperwork should you ever need them. It can also help you clear out a substantial amount of clutter from your home or office — perhaps a whole filing cabinet’s worth. It’s now easier than ever to scan documents using today’s phones — a large flatbed scanner is no longer needed as it was in the past. Receipts, business cards, bills, and any other kind of printed material can be stored digitally. If you’ve got an iP

This joins the existing option to automatically delete call recordings. The Call Notes feature is restricted to Pixel phones in the US right now.

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Notes app has received an update. The update allows the app to run on any Windows device. Previously, the app could only be synced on a PC if you had a Galaxy Book or used a workaround. There is no shortage of great note-taking apps on Android. But if you own a Galaxy phone, you may default to Samsung’s app. That’s not to take away from Samsung Notes, as it’s one of the better options available. You can even sync it up to your computer. The

A year ago, the idea of networking our notes with bi-directional links became the biggest thing in the tools for thought space since Vannevar Bush described the memex.
