# Apple Notes Use `memo` to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. Notes sync across all Apple devices via iCloud. ## Prerequisites - **macOS** with Notes.app - Install: `brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo` - Grant Automation access to Notes.app when prompted (System Settings → Privacy → Automation) ## When to Use - User asks to create, view, or search Apple Notes - Saving information to Notes.app for cross-device access - Organizing notes into folders - Exporting notes to Markdown/HTML ## When NOT to Use - Obsidian vault management → use the `obsidian` skill - Bear Notes → separate app (not supported here) - Quick agent-only notes → use the `memory` tool instead ## Quick Reference ### View Notes ```bash memo notes # List all notes memo notes -f "Folder Name" # Filter by folder memo notes -s "query" # Search notes (fuzzy) ``` ### Create Notes ```bash memo notes -a # Interactive editor memo notes -a "Note Title" # Quick add with title ``` ### Edit Notes ```bash memo notes -e # Interactive selection to edit ``` ### Delete Notes ```bash memo notes -d # Interactive selection to delete ``` ### Move Notes ```bash memo notes -m # Move note to folder (interactive) ``` ### Export Notes ```bash memo notes -ex # Export to HTML/Markdown ``` ## Limitations - Cannot edit notes containing images or attachments - Interactive prompts require terminal access (use pty=true if needed) - macOS only — requires Apple Notes.app ## Rules 1. Prefer Apple Notes when user wants cross-device sync (iPhone/iPad/Mac) 2. Use the `memory` tool for agent-internal notes that don't need to sync 3. Use the `obsidian` skill for Markdown-native knowledge management
