What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates creating and organizing Apple Notes so you do not have to manually navigate accounts and folders to write, move, or update notes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• JXA-first Apple Notes automation: Creates notes programmatically in the Notes app by using osascript JavaScript as the primary automation method.
• Account/folder path resolution: Ensures the target folder path exists (including nested folders) under the correct Notes account (iCloud vs On My Mac).
• Query, move, and manage notes: Uses Notes specifier queries to find notes and then apply updates such as moving or deleting in bulk.
• Use Case: Generate structured meeting note dossiers like meetings/Company/YYYY-MM-DD-Title and people/First-Last/... from an AI prompt and keep them consistently organized.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant: Create an iCloud Notes note titled "Client Review" under meetings/Acme/2024-07-01-Review with this HTML agenda body: <h1>Client Review</h1><div>Agenda...</div>.
