SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Apple Notes from the terminal or an AI agent 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: Quickly find notes with memo notes -s "query" without opening the Notes app. - Export Support: Export notes to HTML or Markdown for backup or publishing workflows. - Use Case: Ask your agent to "add a note titled Meeting Ideas" and it runs memo notes -a "Meeting Ideas" to create it instantly in Apple Notes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new Apple Note with a given title, or to search your notes for a specific keyword.
