A macOS tool for working with Apple Notes: finding notes, reading and editing them, and creating new notes or folders. It uses scripts and requires the Notes app plus permission to control it.

Use it to list accounts, folders, and notes; read note contents; create or update notes; and search Apple Notes on a Mac.

It removes the need to switch to Apple Notes and perform these actions by hand. It can also help locate the correct account and folder before changing a note.

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	$0.00022	$0.01667
Opus 5	$0.00011	$0.00834
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00333
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00167

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-note 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 26 executable files (scripts/add-attachment.sh, scripts/batch-delete.sh, scripts/batch-move.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Apple Notes Skill

This skill enables you to interact with Apple Notes on macOS. You can create new notes, read existing notes, edit content, search for notes, and list folders/notes.

Prerequisites

macOS with Apple Notes app
Notes must be synced with iCloud or stored locally
Claude Code needs Accessibility permission to control Notes

Available Scripts

All scripts are located in scripts/ directory within this skill.

List Accounts

./scripts/list-accounts.sh

Use this first to discover available account names (e.g., "iCloud", "On My Mac", or an email address).

List Folders

./scripts/list-folders.sh [account]

Default account: iCloud

List Notes

./scripts/list-notes.sh [account] [folder]

Defaults: account=iCloud, folder=Notes Returns: Note name, modification date, and preview (first 100 chars)

Get Note Content

./scripts/get-note.sh [account] [folder] <note_name>

Reads the full content of a specific note.

Create Note

./scripts/create-note.sh [account] [folder] <note_title> [note_content]

Creates a new note. Content is automatically wrapped in <div> tags for proper HTML formatting.

Update Note

./scripts/update-note.sh [account] [folder] <note_name> <new_content>

Warning: This performs a FULL replacement of the note content. For appending: first use get-note.sh, combine the content, then call update-note.sh.

Search Notes

./scripts/search-notes.sh [account] [folder] <keyword>

Searches both note names and bodies. Uses database-level filtering for fast results.

Rename Note

./scripts/rename-note.sh [account] [folder] <old_name> <new_name>

Renames an existing note.

Copy Note

./scripts/copy-note.sh [account] <source_folder> <note_name> <target_folder> [copy_name]

Creates a duplicate of a note in another folder. If copy_name is not specified, defaults to "original_name (copy)".

Move Note

./scripts/move-note.sh [account] <source_folder> <note_name> <target_folder>

Moves a note from one folder to another.

What ships with it

27 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
