Add links in Notes on Mac

1. In the Notes app on your Mac, click a note in the notes list or double-click a note in gallery view, then choose Edit > Substitutions > Smart Links (a checkmark shows it’s on).

2. Do one of the following:

   • Type or paste a URL, then press the Space bar or the Return key. The URL becomes a link automatically.

   • Click anywhere in the note, then choose Edit > Add Link (or press Command-K). Type or paste the URL in the dialog that appears, then click OK.

   Tip: To change some text that’s already in the note into a link, first select the text, then choose Edit > Add Link.

To edit, remove, or open a link, Control-click the link, then choose an option.

You can add a link to content in supported apps, like a webpage in Safari, a book in Books, or an episode in Podcasts.

1. Make sure the app you want to link to is open and active. For example, open a webpage in Safari, or start playing a podcast episode.

2. In the Notes app on your Mac, open a note, then click the Link button in the toolbar.

3. Click Add Link.

If you add a link to a Quick Note, a thumbnail of the Quick Note appears in the corner of the screen when you return to the linked content in the app.

You can change the color of links and highlights by changing the accent color and highlight color in Appearance settings on your Mac. (Changes you make there apply to links and highlights in all apps.) See Change Appearance settings on Mac.
