Notes is a built-in application provided on most iOS platforms and in OS X starting with OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion". It functions basically just like a notepad. The iPad version does have some differences in design (leather frame) and also stresses the Skeuomorphism in iOS introduced by Scott Forstall. The OS X version is very similar to the iPad version, almost exactly the same, just with an additional close button in the upper left corner.

OS X version

Prior to Mountain Lion, Mail on OS X supported a mailbox containing notes, which was synced with notes in the Notes application in iOS. In Mountain Lion, the notes were moved to a separate Notes application.^[3]^[4] Created notes are synced through all the user's Apple devices through the iCloud service. Notes can be arranged in folders, and pinned to the user's desktop. When the application is closed, the pinned note still remains. Additionally, unlike the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch version, the OS X Mountain Lion Notes application allows for images to be embedded within notes.

Notes can be created in three different default fonts - Noteworthy, Marker Felt, and Helvetica. Users can add custom fonts by visiting the "Show Fonts" menu. The menu allows users to change text size, format lists, choose the alignment (left, center, justify, or right), assign a writing direction, and indent text. Attachments, images, and hyperlinks can also be added into a note. Attachments cannot be viewed on iOS devices.^[5]
