Apple Notes

Export your TellDone notes to Apple Notes using a shortcut.

Basic and up

Automatic export of all your notes to Apple Notes is available on Basic and up. On Free, its row in Settings > Integrations shows Requires Basic+. Sending one note at a time works on every plan.

Requirements

The Notes app and the Shortcuts app installed on your iPhone

Setup

Go to Settings > Integrations
Turn on Apple Notes
The first time you turn it on, a Shortcut Required dialog appears. Tap Install
When the Shortcuts app opens, add the TellDone Add to Notes shortcut

If notes stop reaching Apple Notes, tap Reinstall Shortcut under the switch. If Apple Notes or the Shortcuts app isn't on your iPhone, the integration shows App not installed and the switch stays off.

How it works

With the switch on, each new note is saved to Apple Notes automatically once TellDone finishes processing it
To send a single note, open it, tap the … menu and choose Apple Notes. This item is always there, on every plan, even when the integration is off. It still needs the TellDone Add to Notes shortcut: if you've never installed it, you see Shortcut Not Found. Tap Install to add it
TellDone doesn't pick a folder: the TellDone Add to Notes shortcut decides where the note is saved
If Apple Journal export is on too, the note goes to Apple Notes first, then to Journal

When TellDone is closed

TellDone can't open Apple Notes while it's closed. Instead, the note's notification says Tap to send to Apple Notes. Tap it, and TellDone sends the note.

note

Apple Notes works in the iPhone app only and doesn't count toward your server integration limit.

What gets exported

Each exported note includes:

Title - the note's title
Summary - the AI-generated summary
Transcript - the full transcript of your recording. For meetings, it's split by speaker, unless Apple Speech Recognition is on
Tags - as #hashtags at the end

Limitations

One-way only - notes export from TellDone to Apple Notes. Changes in Apple Notes don't sync back
Requires the shortcut to be installed first, for automatic export and for sending a single note

tip

Turn on Apple Notes export to keep a copy of your notes outside TellDone.
