can we make notes open in tabs ?
in Mac OS , controlling same apps opened in multi window is not handy.
this would much easier in Windows OS.
I really consider opening in tabs as a really must have options for Mac OS.

That’s genuinely disappointing to hear, and I think it’s worth pushing back a little.
Real working tabs would make a meaningful difference for a lot of users, myself included. It’s part of why I keep one foot in Obsidian, Craft, Notion, and other apps that support them. Even Apple is considering adding tabs to Notes.
Most workflows aren’t linear. You’re often bouncing between several documents at once, copying content across files, juggling notes from multiple projects on a single call. The demand for tabs isn’t arbitrary.
I’ve spent a few decades in software engineering and shipped award-winning products. The most humbling lesson came from polling users and realizing we’d been building what we assumed people wanted. When we actually asked, the answer was: “Sure, that sounds nice, but what would REALLY make my life better is…”
Most other editors have figured out tabs. It’s not an impossible task unless you’ve painted yourself into a corner with single-file write access. What’s frustrating here isn’t just the lack of tabs. It’s that a regularly requested feature gets shut down fast, with no explanation. That’s what loses people.
