Are you sure? I tried adding tags like: #dogs #cats #pets
but there's now just a note with those tags in it. I see no special functionality related to that text.
Got a tip for us?

Use Tags and Smart Folders in Notes on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
Use tags to quickly categorize your notes so you can easily find them later. Just add one or more tags — like #work or #shopping — anywhere in any note. You can also use tags together with existing folders to search and filter your notes across multiple folders.

Reminders is OK replacing a gazillion POST-IT notes, my desktop is somewhat tidier. The big issue I have is there seems to be no way to get it to show only one Or even two lines of the NOTES field. It displays 6 lines by default and just makes the screen somewhat ugly and in some cases useless. I want to see as many of my reminder on the screen as I can. If I need to goto notes part then I will do that.
So, in case my searching Dr Google is really naff, is there (or will there be in the iOS 15 version) a way to limit the display of the number of Notes lines in Reminders?

I use Reminders a lot less these days - mostly for grocery lists.
What I've done this year is use check circles in Notes. So I have a Todo note and it has a lot of check items at the top which are things I need to do in the next month or two. Then I have the current date in a heading and check items for the day. I check them off and can see what I did and what I need to do. If they don't get done that day, then I move them to the next day. If there's something I need to do a day or two later, I create an entry for that day. I may duplicate items in iCal as well as an extra reminder.
This way I have a nice record of the things that I did per day. One other reason why I did this is that Reminders, for some reason, is often slow, at updating on my iPhone. One further reason is that I can just cut and paste a bunch of items from one day to the next.
One thing that I would love is the ability to color code things in Notes.
@pshufd I get it using notes. I went to reminders because of its simplicity. Notes seemed overly complicated (for my usage). Whilst I understand what you are doing and why, the big issue for me would be the lack of persistence, ie. handraulically moving tasks from the previous day to today. I am actively trying to avoid any unnecessary intervention (by me) because it creates a point of failure in my workflow that I would definitely hit.
Other than that, I can try (again) MS TODO, I do have Microsoft 365 licensed, but I wanted to try to use the inbuilt Apple products. Like I said, the biggest issue is how many lines of Notes that are showing (and no way to configure). On the macbook it's 6, on the iPhone it's 4 so it must be hardcoded depending on device.
Thanks for explaining how you use notes, I might have to give it a try, regardless.
