What is SnipNotes?

SnipNotes is a notes app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch that its developer describes as a mix of a clipboard manager and a notebook. Notes can be typed, dictated, saved from the clipboard or shared in from other apps, then filed in an inbox, an archive and categories, and detected content such as addresses and phone numbers gets quick actions. The download is free; iCloud sync and other advanced features need SnipNotes Plus, sold as a one-time purchase or a subscription.

SnipNotes has a free plan. Paid plans start at $1.99 subscription (period not labelled), or $14.99 one-time for iPhone and iPad. See every plan

Good for

  • Apple Watch owners who want to dictate and read notes on the wrist
  • Collecting copied text, links and addresses to act on later
  • People who prefer a one-time purchase to a notes subscription

Worth knowing

  • It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch only; the developer says there are no current plans for Windows or Android.
  • iCloud sync, subcategories, tags, file attachments, drawing and voice recordings are all paid.
  • Sync works through iCloud only; the FAQ rules out Dropbox, OneDrive and Nextcloud because notes are stored as database records.
  • The feature table marks drawing, dictation, Siri, widgets, reminders and passcode protection as not yet supported on the Mac.

Key features

Capture from clipboard, voice and share sheet
Notes can be created from copied text, dictated with Siri or in-app voice input, dragged in from other apps or sent through the share sheet. A note can also store the current location.
Apple Watch app
Notes can be dictated, read and managed on the watch, and synced notes stay available when the iPhone is out of range. LTE watches can create notes on the go.
Inbox, archive, categories and tags
New notes land in an inbox and can be archived, pinned or filed in categories. Nested categories and colored tags are paid features.
Quick actions and automation
Detected addresses open in a map and phone numbers can be called, and a note can become a calendar event. Shortcuts actions and a URL scheme connect it to other apps.
Attachments, drawing and voice recordings
Paid upgrades add file attachments such as PDFs and videos, drawing with a finger or Apple Pencil on iPhone and iPad, and voice recordings that iOS 26 or later can transcribe.
iCloud sync with offline access
With SnipNotes Plus, notes sync through the user's private iCloud account. They are also stored locally, so they can be read and edited without a connection.
