- You can access your notes directly through iCloud.com in any web browser. Sign in with your Apple ID; your notes will await you.
- For quicker access, convert the iCloud web app into a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your Windows desktop for a more app-like experience.
Method 1: Use the Notes Web App
Note : You can’t view or edit any notes within the Notes app’s ‘On My iPhone’ folder. If you still want to access them, you must move the notes to a folder in the iCloud section of the Notes app.
Step 1 : Go to iCloud , log in with your Apple ID credentials, and sign in to your account.
Step 2 : A pop-up will appear on your other Apple device (iPhone, Mac, or iPad) that says, ‘Your Apple ID is being used to sign into a new device.’ Click Allow .
Step 3 : Once you do, you will get a verification code that you will need to enter into your Windows PC, where you want to access Apple Notes.
Step 4 : On the next screen, you will be asked if you ‘Trust this browser?’. Click on Trust .
Step 5 : You will land on your iCloud account. From here, click on Notes .
That’s about it. You have access to your Apple Notes. You can read your notes, edit them, create new notes, and add or rename folders. However, the Notes web app does not allow you to archive or lock notes.
If you can’t see your notes, go to your iPhone’s settings > Apple ID > tap on iCloud > toggle on the switch next to Notes.

Method 3: Sync Apple Notes to Gmail
If you have a Google account added to your iPhone , syncing the Apple Notes app on Gmail is possible. However, the catch is that only new notes you create within the Gmail folder on your iPhone’s Notes app will sync, not your old notes or the notes in other folders.
Step 1 : Go to the Settings app on your iPhone > scroll down and tap on Notes .
Step 2 : Under Notes, tap on Accounts > tap on the Gmail account to which you want to sync your notes.
Step 3 : Under Gmail account settings, toggle on the button next to Notes.
Once you do the above steps, you will see a separate Notes folder under the Gmail header in the Notes app. Any note you create within it is accessible via the Gmail web app on your PC.
Step 4 : Go to Gmail from your preferred browser on your Windows or Mac computer.
Step 5 : Under Label, select Notes to view your synced Apple Notes.
Note that Gmail does not allow you to edit these notes through its web app. You can only do that on your iPhone; check our detailed guide to view iPhone notes in Gmail .
