1. Backup iPhone Notes to Your Computer with TouchCopy
First up is our most robust method: the TouchCopy app for Windows and Mac. TouchCopy lets you quickly and easily transfer notes and other files from your iPhone or iPad to your computer. You have complete control over which data you'd like to transfer—no need for iTunes syncs or iCloud access.
Here's a quick guide on how to use TouchCopy to transfer notes from iPhone to computer without iCloud. For full details of what TouchCopy can do with your notes, please see the TouchCopy user guide.
- Open TouchCopy and connect your iPhone.
- Click the Notes tab to view your iPhone notes on your computer
- Select an individual note or a folder of notes that you wish to backup.
- Click on Copy to PDF, HTML or Text to backup notes in your chosen format.
- Select a backup location on your computer to save selected notes along with attachments.
2. Export Notes from iPhone to iCloud
Exporting notes to iCloud is easy. This allows you to access your notes on any device linked to your Apple ID (and from any browser, using the iCloud website). New notes you make are automatically saved to iCloud as well.
Keep in mind, though, that you only get 5GB of iCloud space free. If you are storing photos and videos in iCloud as well, it can quickly fill up. You can pay monthly for more iCloud storage.
Enable iCloud storage for your iPhone notes...
- On your iPhone, open Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
- Toggle Notes to On.
- Your notes will upload to iCloud.
- Sign in to iCloud on another device to access your notes.
3. Share Notes using Email / Message
Next up is a quick little method for those users who wish to transfer only a couple of notes. You can share iPhone notes via email or message, but you can only send 1 note at a time.
In this way, you can send a note to a contact, or even send it to your own email address so that you can access it from another computer or device. Let's see how to share notes on iPhone...
- Open the Notes app on your iPhone.
- Open the note you want to send.
- Tap the share icon in the top-right corner.
- Select which channel you would like to use to send your message.
- Send!
As you can see below, you can send a note via such channels as Airdrop, Message, Mail, Messenger, WhatsApp and more!
