How to use Quick Notes in the NotchStar notch
To use Quick Notes in NotchStar, hover over the notch, pick the Quick Note tab, click in the text area and type. Your words are saved as you go. Switch tabs or close the notch and the note is still there.
Steps
- Move your pointer to the notch to open it.
- Pick Quick Note. An empty note shows the hint “Take a note…”.
- Click inside the box and type.
- Move the pointer away or pick another tab when you are done. There is nothing to save.
Getting the text out
Select what you need and copy it with Command C, then paste it where you want. The note itself stays in the box until you clear it.
Good uses
A confirmation number, an address, a name from a call, one thing to ask later. For anything longer or anything you want on your iPhone, use a notes app. The limits page explains why.
Not the same as Apple’s Quick Note
This is NotchStar’s own scratchpad. It lives in the notch and is separate from anything macOS offers under the same name.
If typing does nothing, read when typing does not work. The tool is described on the Quick Notes page.
