Apple Notes

What It Does

Whether you want to quickly capture an idea, search across your notes library, or export content to Markdown or HTML, this skill makes Apple Notes a first-class citizen in your automation stack.

The Apple Notes skill connects your AI agent to Apple Notes.app on macOS through the `memo` CLI. It lets you create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes without leaving your workflow.

Key Features

• Create Notes Interactively or by Title — Quickly add a new note with `memo notes -a` to open an interactive editor, or pass a title directly with `memo notes -a "Note Title"` for rapid capture.
• Fuzzy Search Across Notes — Find notes fast using `memo notes -s "query"` with built-in fuzzy search, so you can locate content even with partial or approximate terms.
• Folder Filtering and Note Moving — List notes scoped to a specific folder with `-f "Folder Name"`, or interactively move any note to a different folder using `memo notes -m`.
• Export to HTML or Markdown — Export any selected note to HTML or Markdown format via `memo notes -ex`, powered by Mistune for reliable markdown processing.
• Edit and Delete with Interactive Selection — Interactively select a note to edit or delete — no need to remember exact titles. The CLI presents a list for you to pick from.

Use Cases

• Quick note capture during a conversation — Ask your agent to "add a note about this" and the skill will create a new Apple Note instantly, keeping your ideas organized without switching apps.
• Searching your notes library — Ask your agent to find all notes related to a project or keyword. The skill uses fuzzy search to surface relevant results from your entire Apple Notes library.
• Exporting notes to Markdown — Select a note to export and receive a clean Markdown file — ideal for publishing to a blog, importing into another tool, or archiving content outside Apple's ecosystem.
• Folder-based note organization — Move notes between folders or filter your view to a single folder, keeping your notes library structured as your projects evolve.
