Hi!
Every time I write about Apple Notes, someone asks me if it can replace Notion. Fair question — a lot of Apple users have tried Notion, or at least feel like they should.
My short answer is that Notion is more powerful, but Apple Notes is easier to keep using. And in a real week, easier-to-keep-using usually wins.

Quick Tip
There's a linked-notes feature hidden in Apple Notes.
Inside any note, type >> and start typing the name of another note. Apple Notes will suggest matches — tap one to insert a live link.
You can jump between related notes with one tap, without searching or digging through folders.

A Note from me
A quick heads-up: I'm taking a short holiday, so there won't be a newsletter for the next two Mondays. Back the third Monday with a fresh issue.
Everything on Medium stays open in the meantime if you feel like catching up on something you missed. Talk soon.

See you soon!
