Simply invoke Siri and start talking. With the ability to start a new note or append to existing notes, you can get quite a lot done with only your voice. One of my favorite uses is annotating screenshots. I take a screenshot, invoke Siri, and in one go, I can ask it to add a new note with my last photo (the screenshot), give it a title, and add a quick note about it. Itâs far easier than walking through those steps manually.</p> 300<div class="media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn.macstories.net/images/uploads/2026/09/17/gentler-streak-1789667164630-5d070668aa.png" alt="Gentler Streak"><p class="image-caption">Gentler Streak<a class="view-full-size" href="https://cdn.macstories.net/images/uploads/2026/09/17/gentler-streak-1789667164630-5d070668aa.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 120 120"><path d="M71.2 48.8c1.6 1.6 4.1 1.6 5.6 0L112 13.6V32c0 2.4 2.2 4.4 4.7 3.9 2-.3 3.3-2.2 3.3-4.2V4c0-2.2-1.8-4-4-4H88.2c-2 0-3.8 1.4-4.2 3.3-.4 2.5 1.6 4.7 4 4.7h18.4L71.2 43.2c-1.6 1.6-1.6 4.1 0 5.6zm20.8-.9V104c0 4.4-3.6 8-8 8H16c-4.4 0-8-3.6-8-8V36c0-4.4 3.6-8 8-8h56.1c1.1 0 2.1-.4 2.8-1.2l5.1-5.1c.6-.6.2-1.7-.7-1.7H12C5.4 20 0 25.4 0 32v76c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12h76c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12V40.6c0-.9-1.1-1.3-1.7-.7L93.2 45c-.8.8-1.2 1.8-1.2 2.9z"></path></svg></a></p></div> 301<h3 id="gentler-streak"><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gentler-streak-workout-tracker/id1576857102" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gentler Streak</a></h3> 302<p>Our iPhones and the Apple Watch can collect and process a lot of health and fitness data for us.

You can also append text and images to notes with Siriâs help.

Take a quick photo of your parking spot, ask Siri to add it to your Airport Parking note and thatâs it.</p> 316<p>Cheatsheet has also added extra-large widgets that can display a list of notes, a set of notes tied to action buttons, a shuffling of notes from any folder, or a single note. Of course, the app also supports an extensive list of Shortcuts actions, too.</p> 317<p>If youâre looking for a great place to store the sort of information you might otherwise scribble on scraps of paper, check out Cheatsheet Notes.
