What problem does it solve?

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-device note management: Create, search, edit, move, and export Apple Notes that sync automatically via iCloud to all your Apple devices.
  • Terminal-native productivity: Jot down reminders, organize project notes, or export content without leaving your terminal session.
  • Use case example: If you're debugging code and need to save a quick note that you can access on your iPhone later, you can create the note directly from your terminal without opening the Notes app.

Quick Start

Use the apple-notes skill to create a new note titled "Grocery List" with the content "Milk, eggs, bread, and apples" that will sync to your iPhone and iPad.
