SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Notes from the terminal normally requires manual interaction with the Notes.app GUI. This Skill lets you create, search, edit, move, and export notes directly from the command line, with changes 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. - Cross-Device Sync: Notes saved through memo sync automatically to iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. - Export: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for use in other tools. - Use Case: After a research session, ask the agent to save key findings into a "Research" folder in Apple Notes so they appear on your phone for later review. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new note in your Work folder containing a summary of today's meeting action items.

Frequently Asked Questions about apple-notes

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

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

Use the memo CLI with the command memo notes -a, which opens your configured $EDITOR to compose the note. Add -f "Folder Name" to place the note in a specific folder, and set your EDITOR environment variable first.

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 is macOS only because it requires Apple Notes.app and macOS Automation permissions. You must also grant 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 for editing, deleting, or moving notes require terminal access, so use pty mode when running through an agent.

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

Use Apple Notes when you want automatic iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with zero setup. Use the obsidian skill instead when you need Markdown-native knowledge management with local file control.
