Save what matters.In one tap.
Copy a link, an @handle, a #tag or a phone number anywhere. Switch back to Open notes and it’s one tap to save it to a list.
Copy it. Open the app. Filed.
Open notes notices what you just copied and asks which note it belongs in. Tap a note and it’s added to the list. No pasting, no switching around.
- Links, @handles, #tags and phone numbers are picked out and listed for you.
- Add them to any note, or start a fresh list.
- An Instagram link can be saved as the @handle it belongs to.
- Ordinary text is ignored by default, so a one-time code never lands in a note.
The first time, iOS asks whether Open notes may paste. Choose Allow, or set Paste from Other Apps to Allow for Open notes in iOS Settings, and it’s a single tap.

Tap Allow Paste, or set Paste from Other Apps to Allow for Open notes in iOS Settings, and saving is a single tap.
On your iPhone, in the app’s own storage. With Cloud switched on, a copy is also kept on our servers so it can be restored and kept in step across your iPhones.
