Whether you’re working on your PC or on the go with your iPhone or iPad, you can easily access your notes without having to switch devices. It’s a great way to stay organized and in sync with your notes. With this understanding, let’s start with the article.
1. Notes Web Apps
Accessing Apple Notes on Windows is pretty straightforward. In fact, it is one of the easiest and most popular ways to access Apple Notes on Windows. Follow the steps below.
Note: You can’t view or edit any notes that are in the ‘On My iPhone’ folder of the Notes app. If you still want to access them, you must move the notes to a folder in the iCloud section of the Notes app.
Step 1: Go to iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID credentials, and sign in to your account.
Step 2: You will get a pop-up on your other Apple device (iPhone, Mac or iPad) that says ‘Your Apple ID is being used to sign in to a new device’, click in Allow.
Step 3: Once done, you will receive a verification code that you will need to enter into your Windows PC where you want to access Apple Notes.
Step 4: On the next screen you will be asked if you trust this browser?’ Click Trust.
Step 5: You will access your iCloud account. From here, click Notes.
That’s about it. You have access to your Apple Notes. You can read your notes, edit them, create new notes, and add or rename folders. In addition, you can also share notes with others; Any changes you make will sync to your iPhone via iCloud. However, the Notes web app does not allow you to store or lock notes.
If for some reason you can’t see your notes, go to your iPhone’s settings > select Apple ID > tap iCloud > toggle on the switch next to Notes. If you use Apple Notes on a daily basis, you might want to create a shortcut for it. Move on to the next method.
2. Create Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for Apple Notes
You intend to make the experience of opening and using the Notes web app much more convenient by forcing it to act as a PWA (Progressive Web App). You can do this method using the Google Chrome, Safari, or Microsoft Edge web browser.
Note: For the demonstration, we will be doing the steps on Google Chrome.
Step 1: Go to iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID credentials and sign in to your account.
Step 2: You will get a pop-up on your other Apple device (iPhone, Mac or iPad) that says ‘Your Apple ID is being used to sign in to a new device’ Click Give permission.
Step 3: Once done, you will receive a verification code that you will need to enter into your Windows PC where you want to access Apple Notes.
Step 4: On the next screen you will be asked if you trust this browser?’ Click Trust.
Step 5: You will access your iCloud account. From here, click Notes.
Step 6: Once the Notes web app has finished loading, click the three-dot Chrome menu in the top right corner.
Step 7: From the drop-down list, click More Tools and select Create Shortcut.
Step 8: Under Create shortcut? prompt, give the web app a name, check the box next to ‘Open as window’, then click Create.
Your go. When you open the Apple Notes shortcut web app, it opens in a dedicated Chrome or Edge window without the address bar and provides a very app-like experience. You can view, add, edit or share notes without problems. If you are having trouble using the above methods, maybe the next method will help.
3. Sync Apple Notes with Gmail
If you’ve added a Google account to your iPhone, you can sync the Apple Notes app on Gmail; in fact, the process becomes so seamless that you will barely see any lag or difference. Interestingly, however, only new notes you create in the Gmail folder on your iPhone’s Notes app will sync, not your old notes or notes in other folders. That said, follow the steps mentioned below.
Step 1: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone and scroll down and tap on Notes.
Step 2: Under Notes, tap Accounts, and on the next screen, tap the Gmail account with which you want to sync your notes.
Note: If you don’t see Gmail listed, tap the Add account option and add a Google Account to your iPhone.
Step 3: In your Gmail account settings, enable the button next to Notes.
After performing the steps above, you should see a separate Notes folder below the Gmail header in the Notes app. And any notes you create in them are accessible through the Gmail web app on your PC. Continue the steps below.
Step 4: Access Gmail from your favorite browser on your Windows or Mac computer.
Step 5: Under Labels, select Notes to see your synced Apple Notes.
Please note that Gmail does not allow you to edit these notes through its web application. You can only do it on your iPhone; See our detailed guide on how to view iPhone notes in Gmail.
