To view Apple Notes on a computer, you can also use Gmail, although this method has limitations. You can only view notes and not edit them, and it only works for notes created in the future, not for existing ones. This method also doesn't allow importing current notes to Gmail.

Step 1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
Step 2. To enable notes on a device running iOS 14 or later, go to "Passwords & Accounts" and turn on "Notes." Alternatively, if your device is on iOS 14 or later, you can go to "Contacts" > "Accounts" > "Gmail" and enable the "Notes" option.
Step 3. Now, whenever you create a new note, it will be automatically synced to your Gmail account, making it easily accessible whenever you want.
