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 you create, search, edit, move, and export Apple Notes directly from the command line, with iCloud sync across devices. ## 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 backup or publishing. - Use Case: You capture a meeting takeaway and want it on your iPhone immediately. Run a single memo command to create the note in Apple Notes, and it syncs via iCloud to all your Apple devices. ## Quick Start Create a new Apple Note titled "Meeting Takeaways" 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?▼

Install the memo CLI via Homebrew, then run memo notes -a "Note Title" to create a note with a title, or memo notes -a for an interactive editor. The note appears in Notes.app and syncs 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".

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

No, the memo CLI is macOS only because it depends on Apple Notes.app and macOS Automation permissions. It requires macOS with Notes.app installed and Automation access granted in System Settings.

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 or remote session.

When should I use Apple Notes instead of Obsidian?▼

Use Apple Notes when you want automatic cross-device sync to iPhone and iPad via iCloud with zero setup. Use Obsidian when you need Markdown-native files, plugins, and local knowledge management.
