NOTES IS A great app, but it’s very easy to lose your work amid a plethora of lists, ramblings and jotted half–ideas. You can search for notes, yes, but what if you can’t remember exactly what you need? The answer is to use tags (#) and Smart Folders. In combination, these tools make finding and organizing your notes a cinch. In fact, Smart Folders do all the organizing for you, shouldering the burden so you don’t have to.
