Decision brief

What it does—and where it fits

Use memo to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. Notes sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

Best for

  • User asks to create, view, or search Apple Notes
  • Saving information to Notes.app for cross-device access
  • Organizing notes into folders

Not for

  • Obsidian vault management → use the obsidian skill
  • Bear Notes → separate app (not supported here)

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

memo notes                        # List all notes
memo notes -f "Folder Name"       # Filter by folder
memo notes -s "query"             # Search notes (fuzzy)

Create Notes

memo notes -a                     # Interactive editor
memo notes -a "Note Title"        # Quick add with title

Edit Notes

memo notes -e                     # Interactive selection to edit

Delete Notes

memo notes -d                     # Interactive selection to delete

Move Notes

memo notes -m                     # Move note to folder (interactive)

Export Notes

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
