MacOS – Turn off auto-hyperlinking in Notes app for macOS

macosnotes.app

A lot of my notes have links in them, but I don't want them to automatically be changed into hyperlinks after pressing space or enter.

I'd like them to remain as plain text without having to manually remove the link by right-clicking.

How can I turn this feature off? I'm guessing there might be a way to do this in terminal but I'm not sure where to start.

Here is the solution:

  1. Open your note.
  2. Go to Edit then Substitutions and uncheck Smart Links

It will resolve your open query.

Also, uncheck Smart Copy/Paste to be more precise and if necessary.
