And if I see something which requires OK from home, I simply create a note and take a picture.

So when I am out shopping, she can sit at home adding items to the list. The app is setup with access to mobile data and sync via iCloud. So she puts a photo into the note to make sure that I come home with just the right version of what she wants.

Sometimes a photo can be of help (for me) when the wife has put something into the shopping list. That way we can just tell Siri, that we need milk, and Siri will write the note in the default folder.Įach item to purchase has it’s own note. So we use this folder as our “daily shopping” folder. When I ask Siri tro take a note for me, this note will automatically end up in the default “Notes” folder. The default note folder in Notes is called “Notes” (!). For shome shops, like IKEA we have a specific subfolder. We have a folder for “daily shopping”, and and one for “handyman stuff”, things to the house and “things we may buy some day. Our shopping list is simply the Apple Notes app. Here there are better apps, depending on the platform you use. But not good at “actionable” things like project management, to-do things, reminders and such. I find that Evernote is really great for long-time storage of all sorts of things. An app cannot really be good at “everytning”.
