Tags is unstructured memory for your life. Tags throws everything - personal items, work items, lists etc. - in one big bucket, and makes sure you can quickly find any item. Just snap a photo of that warranty card you may need in two years. Type in that serial number you need to crawl under your desk to find. Snap that recipe you may want one day, or that ink cartridge model, or how many calories are in your cereal. Throw them all into Tags, giving each a word to describe it - and Tags guarantees you’ll find what you need, when you need it. What’s special about Tags? Tags lets you keep all the little things you need to save - and makes sure you'll find them. You don’t have to give titles or topics. You don't have to arrange in notebooks. You don't have to organize or remember anything. All you need to do is add a single tag word - and we'll find it. Even if you forget that tag. It's like magic. How do we do it? Tags uses advanced semantic algorithms to guess what you’re looking for when it can’t find an exact match. So, if you tagged that killer lasagna recipe with just “lasagna”, you don’t have to remember that a year from now when you look for it: search for “Italian”, “recipe” or even “pasta” - and your mininote pops up! Other features Store anything you want in mininotes - small notes that can contain text, images or location. Quickly browse your mininotes in our gorgeous list view. Add tags with a beautiful tagging view that even suggests appropriate tags. Share your mininotes with others via email, iMessage, WhatsApp or to other notes apps. 3D Touch allows you to preview, share and delete notes.
