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, view, search, edit, move, and export Apple Notes directly from the command line, with changes syncing across all Apple devices via iCloud. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Management: Create, view, search (fuzzy), edit, delete, and move notes between folders using the memo CLI. - Export: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for backup or publishing workflows. - Cross-Device Sync: Notes saved through this Skill sync automatically to iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. - Use Case: A user asks the agent to save meeting takeaways to Apple Notes so they appear on their iPhone; the agent runs memo commands to create the note in the right folder. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new Apple Note titled "Meeting Notes" containing your summary 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 on macOS?▼

Use the memo CLI with "memo notes -a" to open an interactive editor or "memo notes -a \"Title\"" to quickly add a note with a title. Install memo first via "brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo".

How do I search Apple Notes from the terminal?▼

Run "memo notes -s \"query\"" to perform a fuzzy search across your Apple Notes. You can also filter by folder using "memo notes -f \"Folder Name\"" to narrow results.

Does the memo CLI work on Linux or Windows?▼

No, memo only works on macOS because it automates Apple Notes.app, which is exclusive to macOS. It also requires Automation permission granted in System Settings under Privacy and Security.

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 you may need 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 to iPhone and iPad via iCloud. Use the obsidian skill instead for Markdown-native knowledge management with local vault files.
