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 note operations. This Skill lets you create, search, edit, move, and export Apple Notes directly from the command line, with notes 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. - 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: A user asks to save meeting takeaways to Apple Notes so they appear on their iPhone; the agent runs memo notes -a "Meeting Takeaways" and the note syncs via iCloud automatically. ## Quick Start Ask the agent 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 run `memo notes -a` for an interactive editor. Notes are saved to Apple Notes and sync across devices via iCloud.

How do I search Apple Notes from the terminal?▼

Run `memo notes -s "query"` to perform a fuzzy search across all your Apple 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 for note-taking?▼

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.
