In this brief tutorial, we’ll show you how to add divider lines to a note on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to clearly separate text blocks, drawings, and media for a cleaner, organized, and visually polished layout.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Divider <\/p>\n

iOS 27, iPadOS 27<\/a>, and macOS 27 Golden Gate added a small but thoughtful addition to the Notes app. It lets you add a thin horizontal line to divide blocks of text, drawings, file attachments, or whatever else you add to your note, like a checklist<\/a> or table<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before this update, I often found myself adding a line by tapping the dash (-) key dozens of times. And then I’d copy and paste that line in another spot if needed. Thankfully, all these time-consuming workarounds are now a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

Mac<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Open the macOS 27 Notes app and go into an existing note or create a new one.<\/li>\n
  2. Click where you want to place the insertion point. If it’s between a sentence, the divider line will break it and move the text under it.<\/li>\n
  3. Press the Command<\/kbd> + L<\/kbd> keys or click Edit<\/strong> > Insert Divider Line<\/strong> from the top menu bar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Insert <\/p>\n

    As of now, you can’t change the color, thickness, or style of the divider line. It’s a simple black horizontal line that’s about 2px wide.<\/p>\n

    iOS<\/h2>\n

    If you’re using a physical keyboard with your iPhone or iPad, you can press the Command<\/kbd> + L<\/kbd> keys to add the divider.<\/p>\n

    Or, follow these steps if you don’t have a keyboard attached:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the Notes app and go inside a note<\/li>\n
    2. Tap at the desired spot in the note to place the insertion point.<\/li>\n
    3. Then, tap the right arrow icon<\/strong> (>) in the thin menu strip.<\/li>\n
    4. Select Insert Divider Line<\/strong> to place a horizontal divider line to demarcate your note.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"Insert <\/p>\n

      Once you have an area divided by a line divider, the drawing you make or files you attach will stay confined under it.<\/p>\n

      In case you no longer need the line, delete it using the Delete<\/kbd> key (like any other text) or undo it using Command<\/kbd> + Z<\/kbd>.<\/p>\n

      Note:<\/em> The Notes app also has a Lines & Grids section, but that’s for the page background<\/a>.<\/p>\n
