Add or remove accounts in Notes on Mac

For information about using iCloud with Notes, see About using iCloud Notes. To add other types of accounts, follow these steps.

1. In the Notes app on your Mac, choose Notes > Accounts, then select an account type.

   If you don’t see your account type, click Add Other Account, then select the account.

2. Enter your account information and sign in.

3. Make sure the Notes tickbox is selected for the account.

Each account you add is listed separately in the sidebar. If the sidebar isn’t showing, click the Sidebar button .

Make sure you set up your iOS and iPadOS devices to use the same notes accounts so that your notes stay up to date across all your devices. See the “Set up and get started” section of the user guide for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. For a device that doesn’t use the latest iOS or iPadOS version, get the user guide from the Apple Support manuals website.

1. In the Notes app on your Mac, choose Notes > Accounts.

2. Select the account, then deselect the Notes tickbox.

   The account’s notes aren’t available until you select the tickbox again.

   To use the account again in Notes, select the Notes tickbox.

1. In the Notes app on your Mac, choose Notes > Accounts.

2. Select the account, then click the Remove button .

   When you remove an account, the account’s notes are deleted and are no longer available on that Mac. Copies of the notes remain in your internet account (for example, iCloud.com or Yahoo) and any other devices you had already set up.
