SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Notes from the terminal normally requires manual interaction with the Notes.app GUI, breaking command-line workflows. This Skill lets you create, search, edit, move, delete, and export notes directly through the memo CLI, with iCloud syncing notes across all your Apple devices. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Management: List, search (fuzzy), create, edit, delete, and move notes between folders using memo commands. - Cross-Device Sync: Notes saved to Notes.app sync automatically via iCloud to iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Export: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for use in other tools. - Use Case: After a research session, ask the agent to save a summary as an Apple Note in your "Research" folder so it appears on your phone before your commute. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new Apple Note in a specific folder containing the text you want saved, and it will run the appropriate memo command.

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 `memo notes -a` to add a note, which opens your $EDITOR for composing the content. Add `-f "Folder Name"` to place the note in a specific folder, and set your EDITOR environment variable first.

How to search Apple Notes from the terminal?▼

Run `memo notes -s "query"` to perform a fuzzy search across 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 Homebrew with `brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo`.

Apple Notes vs Obsidian for note management, which should I use?▼

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

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

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.
