How to Sync Your Notes Across Multiple Devices

Are you one of those people who have half a dozen devices but only get to use one at a time? And every time you switch from one device to another, you are lost as your notes could be on any one of them?

Keeping your notes in sync online is a very easy task if you use the right tools.

I’ve spent years trying various syncing solutions – solutions that would make my life easier by syncing across all my devices regardless of differences in device manufacturer.

In this article, I will go over how to use an online web app called ShareTXT to enable you to synchronize your notes across multiple devices.

I used to have my notes on my laptop and after that, I used cloud services to synchronize and share them across all my devices.

The problem was that for the simple task of sharing one or two lines of a note, it was a very slow process. I wanted something way faster.

With ShareTXT, your notes get synchronized across all your devices in real-time as you type it into the application.

With it being an online application, you do not need to install any app on your devices. It works automatically out of the box without any setup.

Benefits of keeping your notes in sync

Syncing notes is important. It helps you have one source of truth across browsers, desktops, and mobile phones.

It is a great feature, especially when you're on the go. If you edit a note on your computer, all other devices will automatically update to reflect those changes.

Your notes can easily get disorganized especially if you have them in multiple places.

You can access your notes anywhere you want with a modern browser. You don't need to install any software on your computer or smartphone.

If you are on your computer, laptop, tablet, or phone and you have an internet connection, you also have access to your notes. Any changes you make will be updated instantly across all devices.

You can easily share your notes with others by copying them and pasting them into the other device's clipboard.

Synchronizing your notes is important

  • If you have a team of people contributing to the same set of notes.
  • If you have several devices and want to have a consistent experience across all of them.
  • If you're using multiple note-taking apps and want to switch seamlessly between them.
