What apple-notes does

This skill runs memo CLI commands on macOS. The agent lists folders, finds entries using fuzzy search, and creates new notes by title. It can also move notes between folders and export them to HTML or Markdown using Mistune.

You need macOS and the memo utility installed on your machine. Install it via Homebrew using antoniorodr/memo/memo or with pip. In macOS System Settings, grant Automation access to Notes.app.

The tool cannot edit notes that contain images or attachments. Keep that limitation in mind. Install it if you keep your work log in Apple Notes and want fast terminal access.

What it helps with

  • search Apple Notes using fuzzy matching
  • create new notes directly from the terminal
  • export selected notes to HTML or Markdown
  • move notes between folders in Notes.app

Example prompts for the agent

  • Search my Apple Notes for the meeting summary
  • Add a new note titled Release Checklist
  • Export the selected note to Markdown
