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 control Apple Notes directly from the command line using the memo CLI, 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 simple memo commands. - Fuzzy Search: Find notes quickly with memo notes -s "query" across your entire Notes library. - Export: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for backup or migration. - Use Case: You capture a meeting takeaway and want it on your iPhone immediately. Run memo notes -a "Meeting Takeaway" and the note syncs to all your Apple devices via iCloud. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new Apple Note titled "Shopping List" using the memo CLI.

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

Use the memo CLI with `memo notes -a "Note Title"` to quickly create a note, or `memo notes -a` alone to open an interactive editor. The note syncs to all Apple devices via iCloud.

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 filter by folder with `memo notes -f "Folder Name"`.

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

No, the memo CLI is macOS only because it requires Apple Notes.app. Install it via Homebrew with `brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo`.

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

The memo CLI cannot edit notes containing images or attachments. Interactive prompts also require terminal access, so use pty=true when running through an agent.

When should I use Apple Notes instead of Obsidian?▼

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