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 it first via brew tap antoniorodr/memo and brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo.

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".

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

No, the memo CLI is macOS only because it depends on Apple Notes.app. It also requires granting Automation access to Notes.app in System Settings under Privacy and Security.

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 you may need pty=true when running through an agent environment.

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 local vault control.
