What Create Note does

ActionClip generates a useful title where the destination supports one, using page, window, URL, app, or selected-text context. The integration preserves rich content where the destination route allows it.

How to use it

  1. Select the text you want to save.
  2. Choose Create Note.
  3. ActionClip opens the configured note app and creates a new note with the selected content.

Example

Selected text

Research notes and the source URL

Destination

A new titled note in the configured note app

When ActionClip suggests it

Create Note is promoted for email selections and is also a general fallback for read-only text. You can pin it for constant access.

Enabled actions remain available in your Actions list even when Smart Suggestions do not promote them for the current selection.

Requirements and privacy

  • The selected note app must be installed for non-Apple destinations.
  • Changing Note App updates both Create Note and Add to Note.
  • External note apps handle their own sync; ActionClip does not add a cloud SDK.
