I have a set of entities (notes) whose content can be either visible or hidden, independently for each note.

enter image description here

There are two possible states for that property and I was wondering whether it is generally better to use

  • a toggle switch that will move between the two states with a different icon for each state
  • a single icon which, when pressed, will change (the eye in the screenshot above)

Which one is more natural, from a UX perspective?

You have a number of other icons nearby, so the eye will probably work OK, as the overall look is more harmonious.

A toggle switch has the advantage that the state can be perceived easier than with an icon, where one has to think about the meaning, at least a little bit.

In your situation I'd try for the toggle switch with different icons.
