Then I found Jenny, who had published a whole thread explaining why she had her system implemented on Apple Notes. Hi Did you have the case in BASB of someone successfully using Apple Notes as their main PKM system?ĭo you think in the last versions it has all that is needed?- Pablo Bernardo - Learning in public (3/101) October 31, 2021

Unfortunately, it was not the case, but he gave me an answer that was enough to give it a try. I wanted to know if he had observed anyone using Apple Notes in his Building a Second Brain course. Exchange and idea validationĪfter giving it a thought for a few days, because I did not want to be moving my system again out of the blue, I searched and sent a couple of tweets to validate that my idea was not that stupid.įirst, I asked Tiago Forte, the godfather of note-taking systems. My monkey mind ended up playing around more than working, and the too hack-ish feeling I was having with Obsidian.Īpple Notes seemed to me to have a simple design, is hyper intuitive, works across all my devices, is free, and it was almost impossible to get lost in it. My inclination to Notes came from the fact that I was overwhelmed by the number of options in Notion. My hypothesis was after the last updates in macOS, Apple Notes could, at this point, perform exceptionally well on most of them. Tiago Forte has a proposal for a set of features you should look into to choose a note-taking app. Perhaps also capturing, but not necessarily so. Your notes system is where you will make connections and distill ideas. The case for a simple note-taking appĬontrary to what many people think, your note-taking app is only a building block of your whole Second Brain system and yet, in my view, probably the centerpiece.

I gave Apple Notes a couple of weeks of intensive friendship to know each other.
