The >> linking feature in Apple Notes was introduced with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma in 2023. And yes, you can use ✱ Hubs as Areas.

I love @forevernotes.bsky.social! I do both an analog #bujo and the #forevernotes system. I need to get stronger with my shortcut game and work with my structuring a bit. I have a daily template that I enjoy. Sometimes takin notes digitally is more realistic for me, yet I love journals.

Basic? More like effortlessly brilliant. Apple Notes for the win!
