I may have mentioned this in other stories, but I do not like organising my notes into folders. Folders are very restrictive, as you can only add a note to a single folder at a time.

How Organising With Tags Keeps Things Simple

For me, the best organisation method is using tags. Most apps have this feature, but very few lead with it.

I am a huge proponent of Bear app. It is beautiful and simple to use.
Importantly, their organisation method is ONLY tags.

What’s more, tags can be inserted anywhere in the body of the text.

However, I wanted to be able to just use Apple stock products (as a way to cut down on costs) but I don’t think this is going to be possible.

Unreliable Performance

I have discovered over the last few days that the iCloud sync for Apple Notes, across my iPad, iPhone and MacBook is just not reliable!
