20 Best Apple Notes App Tips

That is a great idea. One reason I prefer Apple Notes to something like Obsidian for my notes is precisely because I can move my notes WITH the attachments to other locations/apps. Apps that are only plain text keep attachments separate which means one has to separately move them and relink them if one wants them connected to the note text. I prefer to have them attached as originally written.

And, once imported to DEVONthink all of the notes, dashboard links, to-dos, tables and attachments are preserved. And, the links in the dashboard in the note work in DEVONthink. Additionally, as I’ve noted before, one of the great benefits of DEVONthink is the ability to convert these imported notes to other formats. Overall, a great system.

Here is an example of a note containing text, a table, to-dos, and an attachment in Apple Notes imported to DEVONthink.
