Also I swear to god my iPhone deletes notes I’ve made after they get too old or seemingly at random. Which is SO FUCKING AGGRAVATING AND MAKES ME FEEL LIKE MY PHONE IS GASLIGHTING ME.
There’s the FOSS alternative Fsnotes.
Oof that’d be troublesome. Have come to rely on Notes search, not frequently, but from time to time—and it’s gotta work. Based on the single unique word I remember, often.
Thinking about backup solutions that could prove it for ya one way or another but might be a little manual - Notes exports aren’t super straightforward. Would help degaslight eh?
I put all my passwords for shit in my notes. And I get so angry when I search it and it tells me it’s not there.
Yikes and you know it’s in there because you’ve copy pasted it dozens of times before!
I’d be in trouble if Bitwarden ate my passwords. I really like that it’s seen as more secure than note taking apps since passwords are so important. And it generates nice random ones (yeah-like7-superandom <- but still easy to type if needed). They have date last edited and password history and a bunch of bells and whistles that can be totally ignored or used as desired.
They even have a Secure Notes feature too (maybe useful for a driver’s license number or something). I’m glad it’s totally free & open source. And saves passwords automatically and all that. Never lost me anything and can be backed up elsewhere periodically in case we’re worried about them getting forgetful one day.
