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 tasks like creating or searching notes. This Skill lets an agent manage Apple Notes directly through the memo CLI, with notes syncing across all Apple devices via iCloud. ## 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: A user asks the agent to save meeting takeaways to Apple Notes so they appear on their iPhone; the agent runs memo to create the note in the right folder, and iCloud syncs it automatically. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new Apple Note titled "Meeting Notes" containing your summary text.

Frequently Asked Questions about apple-notes

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Use the memo CLI with memo notes -a to open an interactive editor, or memo notes -a "Title" for a quick add. Install memo first via brew tap antoniorodr/memo and brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo.

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 list all notes with memo notes or filter by folder using memo notes -f "Folder Name".

Does the memo CLI work on Linux or Windows?▼

No, memo only works on macOS because it requires Apple Notes.app and macOS Automation permissions. Notes sync to other devices via iCloud, but the CLI itself is macOS-only.

Can memo edit notes that contain images or attachments?▼

No, memo cannot edit notes containing images or attachments. This is a documented limitation, so use Notes.app directly for media-rich notes.

When should I use Apple Notes instead of Obsidian?▼

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