A quick rant about Notes

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Software, iPhone

You got your iPhone. You got your computer. Your emails sync. Your contacts sync. Your calendars sync. Your music, your podcasts, your photos, all your stuff: it just syncs. This is good.

Your notes? They don’t sync.

This. Is. Bad.

Not just bad, but actually driving me nuts. It drives me nuts because I can’t believe there’s a technical challenge to be overcome here. On the iPhone, you have your Notes app in which you write text notes. How hard can it be to sync them up with something on the computer to which the iPhone is attached?

A friend says to me: “Sync them where? With Stickies?” He has a point - there’s no obvious, existing place for text notes to go, but again, that doesn’t sound to me like something that need be a problem. Let’s have a simple desktop app called, um, Notes, with which the iPhone version syncs. OK, even Stickies if we have to. All I want to do is easily reach my iPhone-jotted notes when I’m working on the Mac.

Yes, I know about the work-arounds. I could use a Drafts folder in an IMAP account. I could add notes to a contact. I could just email stuff back and forth to myself. But none of these fits in with the way I work already, all of them are work-arounds. We’re talking about text notes here: there shouldn’t be any need for work-arounds. I look forward to a simple solution appearing in the App Store soon.

That said, despite the horrible Marker Felt font, I quite like the Notes app. I just wish it would sync. Is that too much to ask?
