Bear

Keeping track of your thoughts is not even a problem with this app. Bear is known for its note-keeping capabilities and lets you add notes very easily.

This app is free, however you can for the premium version for Touch ID support, exporting to different formats (HTML, DOCX, PDF), different themes, syncing, etc.

Notebook

The second option for you would be the notebook app, which has a good rating and is required to be one of the best apps for taking notes on the Apple Watch. You can take notes by recording through your voice, scribbling (where you form the letters to make the word), and can even sync the notes through other devices.

You can also delete extra notes from the app right away, change the color of your notes, can even create your note’s cover and choose between various themes. All these features come without any cost, as it is free.

Microsoft OneNote

You might be familiar with Microsoft one way or the other, whether it’s Windows on your Laptop, or the applications like Excel, Word, etc. OneNote is a dedicated Microsoft app for taking notes on your Apple Watch. You can take notes through voice dictation, and that’s about it since that’s the only way it offers through which you can take notes.

As a Microsoft product, it should have come up with an extra feature, such as editing or changing notes through the Apple Watch, but sadly you cannot do that. You’d have to make new notes every time you have to change something. Plus, it doesn’t support pictures, sketches, bullet points, and numbered lists. This means that it’s good for taking quick notes on your watch, but if you need more perks, you’d have to switch to your phone instead.

Drafts

You might want to go for this app if you like to do things according to their priority, as this app gives you the option to sort notes and make them depending on their importance. Sounds interesting right?

Another easy-to-use and free app which allows you to take notes from the apple watch very easily.

Since there’s no official app for the Apple Watch for taking notes like iOS or iPad, these are some of the best note apps for the Apple Watch you can find in 2022.
