SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Notes from the terminal or through an AI assistant is not natively supported, forcing users to switch to the Notes app for simple tasks like creating, searching, or organizing notes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Note Management: Create, view, edit, delete, search, and move notes between folders using the memo CLI. - Fuzzy Search & Filtering: Find notes by keyword or filter by folder without opening Notes.app. - Export to HTML/Markdown: Export selected notes to portable formats using Mistune for markdown processing. - Use Case: Ask your assistant to add a quick meeting note, search all notes mentioning a project name, or move a note into an archive folder, all without leaving the terminal. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new Apple Note titled "Meeting Notes" using the memo CLI.
