• /text or /plain starts body text
• /code or /mono starts a monostyled block

Templates

Create a folder called Templates in Apple Notes and put your template notes in there. Then, use the /template command to insert a template in a note. Keywords "/date" and "/today" will be replaced with the current date when the template is used. Note: Templates are a beta feature and don't support some text formatting like checklists and monostyled blocks yet.

Calculator

Type /calc after a math expression in Apple Notes to calculate the result. Convenient for technical notes, budgets, shopping lists etc.
