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, 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 the memo CLI. - 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 devices. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new Apple Note titled "Meeting Takeaways" using the memo CLI.

Frequently Asked Questions about apple-notes

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. Notes are saved directly to Apple Notes and sync across devices via iCloud.

How do I search Apple Notes in 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 is macOS only because it controls Apple Notes.app through macOS Automation. You must grant Automation access to Notes.app in System Settings under Privacy and Security.

Can I edit Apple Notes that contain images or attachments?▼

No, the memo CLI cannot edit notes containing images or attachments. This is a known limitation, so use the Notes.app GUI for media-rich notes.

When should I use Apple Notes instead of Obsidian?▼

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