MacOS – Possible to use local and icloud notes in OSX Mavericks Notes.app

icloudmacosnotes.app

I just had a situation arise where I have a single note that has a sensitive password in it, that I don't want shared in the cloud. I would like it to only be "On My Mac", which I recall being able to do in the past.

But now it seems that there is no way to store local notes if you also use iCloud notes. I definitely use lots of iCloud notes, I just want this one note to be stored locally.

Is this not possible?

From the Menubar select Notes > Preferences ⌘,

Enable Enable the On My Mac account and close.

You may need to View > Show Folders

You can now drag notes between the local and iCloud folders
