Top Two Apps to Transfer Notes from iPhone to Mac

When it comes to transferring notes from iPhone to Mac, iPhone users will take iTunes/iCloud as the first choice. However, the backup that iTunes makes is a whole database, and users are not able to view the files on their computer. Using iCloud is a good way to sync iPhone notes to Mac, but you should pay attention to the limited free storage space, which is only 5GB you can use with iCloud. For more storage space, you will need to pay for it. Therefore, you may find other apps to help you finish the task if you want to transfer notes from iPhone to Mac for a backup. Here we are introducing you two apps that are both helpful on this issue.
