Siri, Shortcuts and buttons

Write a note, add a task or hear what is due without opening NotaBene — by asking Siri, building a shortcut, or pressing a button.

Ask Siri

Say one of these to Siri:

• "New note in NotaBene" — Siri asks what to write and writes it down, without opening the app.
• "Write in NotaBene…" — the same, with the text said straight after.
• "Add task to NotaBene" — Siri asks for the task and adds it.
• "Today's tasks in NotaBene" — Siri reads back what is open and due.
• "Search NotaBene" — Siri asks what to look for and gives you the notes.
• "Scan into NotaBene" — opens the scanner.

When it has written something down, Siri says so out loud — "Saved.", "Added." or "Done."

Use NotaBene in the Shortcuts app

In the Shortcuts app, NotaBene offers ten actions under NotaBene:

• New Note — with text, title, notebook and tags; gives back the note.
• Append to Note.
• New Note from Template — gives back the note.
• New Task — with title, due date and note; gives back the task.
• Complete Task.
• Today's Tasks — gives back the tasks.
• Search Notes — the search operators work here too; gives back the notes.
• Open Note — opens the app.
• Scan Document — opens the app.
• Record a Note — opens the app.

The actions that give something back can be strung together. For example: every Monday at 8:00, make a note from your Weekly Review template and put today's tasks in it — three actions in one shortcut.

Buttons in Control Center, on the Action button and on the Lock Screen

NotaBene offers three controls — New Note, Scan and New Task — wherever your iPhone or iPad lets you put one: in Control Center, on the Action button, and on the Lock Screen. Each opens NotaBene on the thing it names, with the keyboard or the camera already up.
