A command-line tool workflow for managing Apple Notes on macOS. It can create, view, search, and edit notes, including organizing and exporting them.

Use it to save information to synced Apple Notes, find or update notes, organize folders, and export notes as Markdown or HTML.

It lets scripts and coding agents work with Notes without manually opening the Notes app for every change.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00019	$0.00651
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00260
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00130
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00065

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 1mo 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

88% identical to apple-notes — 44 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kheish Compatibility

This skill is repo-local and stays inactive until explicitly activated.

When the original instructions refer to legacy tool names, use these Kheish mappings:

terminal => bash
web_extract => web_fetch, plus web_search when discovery is needed
search_files => grep_search and glob_search
browser_* tools require a browser-capable surfaced tool or MCP; if none is available, use the closest available surface and say so explicitly

When the instructions mention local helper files, resolve them from ${KHEISH_SKILL_DIR}.

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

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

Quick agent-only notes → use the memory tool instead

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.
