How to share and print using Notes on Mac

Notes for Mac OS X makes it easy to write yourself quick notes and memos you want to have available on your computer, but sometimes the whole world should know just how brilliant your thoughts and ideas are. Notes makes it easy for you to share copies of your notes with friends, family, and co-workers through Mail and Messages, or you can go old school and print physical copies.

How to share a note

  1. Launch Notes from your Mac dock.
  2. Click on the note you would like to share (for example Grocery List).

  1. Click the Share this note icon at the top of the screen (it looks like a square with an arrow pointing up, right next to the search bar).
  2. Select the method you would like to use to share your note from the listed options:
    • Mail (the note will appear in the body of an email)
    • Messages (the note will appear in the body of a message)
    • Notes (the note can be added as a new note or will appear in the body of an existing note)
    • Reminders (the note will appear as a reminder the next time you launch the application)
    Note: Depending on the applications you have installed on your computer, you may have additional ways of sharing your note (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc).
