Hi, I’m trying to begin to take notes about my learning in chess. Things such openings, tactics etc.
I began using Notion for my Uni studies and decided to use that as I enjoy the functionality, but I don’t think it can open PGN files.
If anyone know apps that can be used on iOS or windows it would be much appreciated.
Why not just use the analysis board here? It opens pgns and has all the annotation functions you could need.

I don't think it can import pgn files, but I've been using Notion for all my opening Chess study and I simply use the /embed function and enter the moves into the Chess.com analysis, hit share and copy the embed over into notion. This way, I can write down an explanation of the moves and ideas behind them and also have the moves shown on the board in front of me.
You could try Evernote I use it for everything work, school, personal projects
There are three pages on the site that do basically the same thing: Analysis, Openings, and Explorer, all found in the Learn section. If you go to the Analysis page, you have the option to import your PGN, although I'm in the habit of copying the whole thing and pasting it in. (This is because a PGN is a simple text file, which you can open with any text editor, such as Notepad.)
As far as storing them locally goes, you can edit the files yourself in any text editor, to add headers at the top, for instance. (These are things that can be copied and pasted.) Or to remove the line breaks from the move list. My naming scheme is YYYY.MM.DD Rd # White v Black. I've been collecting PGNs for about a year now, and I've discovered that adding in which round it is is the secret to not having two files with the same name. So a filename would look like:
2021.08.23 Rd 6.4 Shankland v Rapport
You can virually use any text-editor for editing PGN-files.
PGN files are just plain text files.
My advice would be use a chess-database program. SCID is free and has even a version for Android and iOS
Chess Studio for Android.
Arena for Windows user.
