Browsing and Searching Notes in TouchCopy

TouchCopy can show a list of all notes stored on your connected device. Click a note to select it and preview its contents in TouchCopy.

Search Notes: To find a specific note, click the Search bar at the top of TouchCopy and enter some text. Any notes which do not contain your search query will be filtered out of the list.

Filter Dates: If you wish to filter your notes by date, you can use the "Filter Dates" (PC) or "Date Rage" (Mac) button. Here you can set a range of dates which will instruct TouchCopy to only show notes created between those dates.

Accessing Locked Notes: Note that TouchCopy cannot access notes that are locked and password-protected on your device. To make a locked note accessible, open it on your iPhone, tap the menu (three dots), and select "Remove Lock".

Export Formats for Your iPhone Notes

You can backup selected Note/Notes from your iOS device to your computer by choosing one of the 3 export formats available in TouchCopy.

• Save as HTML (PC) / Copy to Mac: Exports your selected notes as HTML files. These can be opened in your default web browser by double-clicking the saved file. Images and videos are embedded directly in the HTML, while audio attachments are saved in a separate folder.
• Save as PDF (PC) / Copy to PDF (Mac): Exports notes as PDF documents with embedded images. Please note that this format does not include video or audio attachments. PDF files will open in your default PDF viewer.
• Save as TXT (PC) / Copy to TXT (Mac): Saves your notes as plain text files. This format includes only the text content and does not retain any media such as images or audio.
