Add clipboard to last note

COMMENT

Takes the clipboard and appends to it to the most-recently modified note, before opening it in Notes.

COMMENT

Useful for adding information to the same note over and over again, rather than using the Share sheet. I use this when combining notes scattered elsewhere into a single Notes file.

Quick capture

COMMENT

This is helpful for quickly creating new notes while you’re doing research – keep it in the widget, run it from the share sheet, or ask Siri to capture anything you’ve got copied to your clipboard and it’ll get added to Notes to be organized later.

COMMENT

Takes the shortcut input or clipboard text and automatically creates a new note in the Notes app – can be customized to send to a Folder as well.

Add link of the week

COMMENT

Searches for a note called “Links of the Week” and appends the shortcut input or clipboard text to the end in the Notes app.

COMMENT

Built as a way to track links for a weekly newsletter, this can be a handy way to track links in an ongoing fashion rather than going back to manual collect the links at the end.

COMMENT

Uses the Show Notes Folder action to set to the default Notes category to open there and let you sort anything that’s not yet added to a folder.

COMMENT

Built as a companion to “Quick capture,” this shortcut is useful to run after a note-taking session so you can organize everything and not leave anything in the default folder.

COMMENT

Uses the Choose From menu action to present top-level categories for Notes folders, then includes multiple other menus for each category and opens into the chosen Folder.

COMMENT

Built as a companion to “Open Notes folder,” this shortcut lets me choose from all my various Folders but nested inside different categories – including a hierarchical structure that doesn’t even match what’s inside notes itself, if only to make the menus easier to choose from quickly.
