Apple Notes CLI

Use memo notes to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. Create, view, edit, delete, search, move notes between folders, and export to HTML/Markdown.

Setup

  • Install (Homebrew): brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo
  • Manual (pip): pip install . (after cloning the repo)
  • macOS-only; if prompted, grant Automation access to Notes.app.

View Notes

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

Create Notes

  • Add a new note: memo notes -a
    • Opens an interactive editor to compose the note.
  • Quick add with title: memo notes -a "Note Title"

Edit Notes

  • Edit existing note: memo notes -e
    • Interactive selection of note to edit.

Delete Notes

  • Delete a note: memo notes -d
    • Interactive selection of note to delete.

Move Notes

  • Move note to folder: memo notes -m
    • Interactive selection of note and destination folder.

Export Notes

  • Export to HTML/Markdown: memo notes -ex
    • Exports selected note; uses Mistune for markdown processing.

Limitations

  • Cannot edit notes containing images or attachments.
  • Interactive prompts may require terminal access.

Notes

  • macOS-only.
  • Requires Apple Notes.app to be accessible.
  • For automation, grant permissions in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it drives the 'memo' CLI to manage Apple Notes. Before installing, review the upstream GitHub repo (https://github.com/antoniorodr/memo) and the Homebrew tap to ensure you trust the source. Be aware that to function the memo binary may require Automation permission to control Notes.app — granting that permission allows the binary to read and modify your personal notes. If you want extra caution, install and run memo locally in a controlled environment first (or audit the installed binary), and revoke Automation permissions when you no longer need the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: apple-notes-1-0-0 Version: 1.0.0 The skill instructs the agent to install a third-party CLI tool (`memo`) via Homebrew (`brew tap ... && brew install ...`). This involves downloading and executing code from a remote source (Homebrew formula), which represents a significant supply chain risk. Subsequently, the agent is instructed to execute the `memo` binary, which has broad access to Apple Notes data and the macOS system. While these actions are for the stated purpose of managing Apple Notes, they constitute 'risky capabilities' due to the execution of external binaries and remote code, classifying the skill as suspicious. There is no evidence of intentional malicious behavior or prompt injection attempts against the agent in SKILL.md.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, declared required binary ('memo'), homepage (GitHub repo), and the SKILL.md instructions all align: the skill simply instructs the agent to call the memo CLI to manage Apple Notes.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs using memo commands (list, add, edit, delete, move, export) and to grant macOS Automation permission to Notes.app when prompted. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, request extra environment variables, or exfiltrate data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
Installation uses a Homebrew tap (antoniorodr/memo) and installs a binary named 'memo', which is appropriate for a CLI-based skill. As a caution: this is a third-party tap (not an official Homebrew core formula); users should verify the tap and the upstream GitHub repository before installing.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which is proportional. However, it requires granting Automation access to Notes.app (macOS privacy permission), which gives the installed binary programmatic access to the user's notes — this is expected for the task but exposes sensitive personal data and should be considered before granting.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not set to always:true, is user-invocable, and does not request persistent system-wide changes or access to other skills' configuration. Installing the memo binary is the only persistent artifact; autonomous invocation is enabled (default) but not excessive here.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install apple-notes-1-0-0
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /apple-notes-1-0-0
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
