iCloud is a cloud storage service provided by Apple, allowing users to sync data across different devices, including notes, photos, contacts, and more. With iCloud synchronization, users can access notes from their iPhone on their computer without the need for a USB cable. However, this method requires a stable internet connection, and iCloud's free storage space is limited, which may require purchasing additional storage. (How to free up iCloud storage?)

You can easily copy the notes you require to your computer via email, but please note that the notes can only be transferred one by one. Therefore, it may not be an ideal way to finish the task if you have many notes to transfer.
AirDrop is a fast wireless transfer method that allows you to transfer notes from your iPhone to your Mac without any data cables or third-party software. It connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for convenient and quick backups. However, AirDrop only allows one note to be transferred at a time, so transferring multiple files may take longer.
Step 1: On your Mac, open Finder and make sure AirDrop is enabled. Set it to receive files from "Contacts Only" or "Everyone."
Step 2: On your iPhone, open the Notes app and select the note you want to back up.
Step 3: Tap the Share icon in the top-right corner of the note.
Step 4: Choose AirDrop from the sharing options.
