SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Notes from the terminal is not natively supported, forcing users to switch to the GUI for simple note operations. This Skill lets you create, search, edit, move, and export Apple Notes directly from the command line using the memo CLI, with iCloud sync across devices. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Management: Create, view, search, edit, delete, and move notes between folders using memo commands. - Export: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for use in other tools. - Use Case: You capture a meeting takeaway and want it on your iPhone immediately. Run a quick memo command to create the note in Apple Notes, and it syncs via iCloud to all your Apple devices. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new Apple Note titled "Meeting Takeaways" using the memo CLI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an Apple Note from the command line?▼

Use the memo CLI with "memo notes -a" to open an interactive editor, or "memo notes -a \"Title\"" to quickly add a note with a title. The note is saved to Apple Notes and syncs via iCloud.

How do I search Apple Notes from the terminal?▼

Run "memo notes -s \"query\"" to perform a fuzzy search across your notes. You can also filter by folder with "memo notes -f \"Folder Name\"" to narrow results.

Can I use the memo CLI on Linux or Windows?▼

No, the memo CLI only works on macOS because it requires Apple Notes.app. Install it via Homebrew with "brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo".

What are the limitations of editing Apple Notes via memo?▼

The memo CLI cannot edit notes containing images or attachments. Interactive prompts also require terminal access, so use pty=true when running through an agent that needs interactive selection.

When should I use Apple Notes instead of Obsidian?▼

Use Apple Notes when you want automatic cross-device sync to iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Use the obsidian skill instead for Markdown-native knowledge management and local vault workflows.
