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 automatic iCloud sync across Apple devices. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Management: Create, view, search, edit, delete, and move notes between folders using the memo CLI. - Cross-Device Sync: Notes saved through memo sync via iCloud to iPhone, iPad, and Mac automatically. - Export: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for archiving or sharing. - Use Case: A user asks 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 instantly. ## Quick Start Create a new Apple Note titled "Meeting Takeaways" containing today's discussion summary using the memo CLI.

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 on macOS?▼

Install the memo CLI via Homebrew, then run memo notes -a "Title" to create a note with a title, or memo notes -a for an interactive editor. Notes sync to all Apple devices through iCloud automatically.

How to search Apple Notes from the terminal?▼

Use memo notes -s "query" to perform a fuzzy search across all notes. You can also filter by folder with memo notes -f "Folder Name" to narrow results before searching.

Does the memo CLI work on Linux or Windows?▼

No, memo only works on macOS because it depends on Apple Notes.app and macOS Automation permissions. Linux and Windows have no access to the Apple Notes data store.

When should I use Apple Notes instead of Obsidian for note-taking?▼

Use Apple Notes when you need automatic iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with zero setup. Use Obsidian when you want Markdown-native files, local vault control, and plugin-based knowledge management.

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

The memo CLI cannot edit notes containing images or attachments. Interactive prompts also require terminal access, so automation contexts may need pty mode enabled to handle selection menus.
