Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-notes scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to apple-notes — 21 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

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

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
