Among the biggest ‘left out’ items for the iPhone thus far is the lack of notes syncing ability, or even an ability to backup your notes easily. For those with jailbroken phones, TimeCapsule came along recently to provide a backup and restore ability for the Notes database, and many other items on the iPhone.

Now a new application for the Mac called iPhone Notes has been released, and it offers an easy way to transfer notes between a Mac and an iPhone, and to edit notes on the computer and save them across to the iPhone. 

iPhone Notes requires that you have a jailbroken iPhone, and works over WiFi / SSH connections, so you’ll need OpenSSH (or another flavor of SSH that you prefer) installed on the iPhone.  When you launch iPhone Notes on the Mac, it should find your iPhone and show the name of it in its right-hand window area.  Then you just enter your credentials for the iPhone, and you can choose to load notes over to the Mac, edit them as desired, and save them back to the iPhone.

iPhone Notes works well and is a handy tool to have around until we see a real notes sync solution for the iPhone.  It’s a free download at the V1ru8 site:
