- How do I adjust the editor margins in Noted? Open the ⋯ menu at the top right of a note, choose Note Settings, then Adjust Editor Margin and drag the slider. The margin is saved per note, on iOS and macOS.
- How do I attach a photo or file to a note? Tap the 📎 Attachment button on the editor toolbar to add a photo, PDF or other file from your camera, photo library or the Files app. Attachments sit inline in the note and can be opened, shared or deleted from there.
- How do I use dictation to turn speech into notes? Tap the microphone on the editor toolbar and speak; Noted types what you say and, if you are recording, time-stamps every word to the audio. Dictation works in any language your device's keyboard supports.
- How do I format text in my notes? Tap the Aa button on the editor toolbar for headers, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, bullet and numbered lists, checkboxes and a separator. On the Mac the same tools use the standard ⌘ shortcuts.
- How do I highlight text in a note? Select the text, tap the Highlight tool on the editor toolbar and pick a colour. Double-tap selects a word, hold and drag selects more; tap the tool again to remove a highlight.
- How do I use the iOS 18 Shortcuts for Noted? Open Control Centre, tap Edit Controls, search for Noted and add Start Recording, New Note or Replay Last Recording. Each control then works from the Lock Screen and Control Centre without opening the app.
- How do I use AI Transcribe in Noted? Open a note with a recording, tap the ✨ button and choose Transcribe audio. Transcription runs on your device with Whisper, works in most languages, and the text can be edited or copied afterwards.
- How to use Ask AI? Open a note, tap Ask AI and type a question in plain language. Noted finds the answer in your recordings and notes and jumps to that moment in the audio; no transcript, tags or keywords are needed first.
- How do I search for text inside a note? Tap the 🔍 icon on the editor toolbar (iOS) or press ⌘F (macOS), type the word and use the arrows to step through matches. Each match jumps the recording to the moment it was written.
- How do Sketch and Time Stroke work? Sketch lets you draw or handwrite in a note with a finger or Apple Pencil. Time Stroke records each stroke against the audio, so tapping a drawing later replays what was being said as you drew it.
- How do I undo and redo changes in a note? Tap the curved Undo and Redo arrows on the editor toolbar (iOS), or use Edit → Undo and Redo or ⌘Z and ⇧⌘Z on the Mac. Undo covers text, formatting and sketches within the current session.
