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 $EDITOR to compose the note. Add -f "Folder Name" to target a specific folder, and set your EDITOR environment variable first (e.g. export EDITOR=vim).

How to search Apple Notes from the terminal?▼

Run memo notes -s "query" to perform a fuzzy search across all your Apple 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, the memo CLI is macOS only because it requires Apple Notes.app and macOS Automation permissions. Install it via brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo on a Mac.

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=true when running through an agent.

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

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 vault-based workflows.
