SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Notes normally requires opening the Notes app and clicking through its interface, which breaks terminal-based and automated workflows. This Skill lets you create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes directly from the command line using the memo CLI. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Note Management: Create, view, edit, delete, and move notes between folders with simple memo commands. - Fuzzy Search: Find notes quickly with memo notes -s "query" instead of scrolling through folders. - Export to HTML/Markdown: Export selected notes for publishing, backup, or migration using built-in Mistune processing. - Use Case: You want to capture a quick idea without leaving your terminal. Run memo notes -a "Meeting Ideas" to create a titled note instantly, then later search and export it to Markdown for your documentation. ## 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` to open an interactive editor, or `memo notes -a "Note Title"` to quick-add a note with a title. The note is saved directly to Apple Notes on macOS.

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 list all notes with `memo notes` or filter by folder using `memo notes -f "Folder Name"`.

Can I export Apple Notes to Markdown or HTML?▼

Yes, run `memo notes -ex` to export a selected note to HTML or Markdown format. The memo CLI uses Mistune for Markdown processing during export.

Does the memo CLI work on Linux or Windows?▼

No, memo is macOS-only because it interacts directly with the Apple Notes app. You must also grant Automation access to Notes.app in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation.

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 also require terminal access to complete the selection.
