New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Managing Apple Notes with inotes

inotes is a macOS CLI for Apple Notes. It communicates with Notes.app via AppleScript and supports all CRUD operations plus search. Output defaults to a human-readable table; use --json for machine-readable output.

๐Ÿ”’ Privacy & Security

โœ… Open source: Full source code at https://github.com/wangwalk/inotes โœ… Local-only: All operations run locally via AppleScript; no data leaves your machine โœ… No network calls: inotes does not connect to any remote servers โœ… Auditable install: Binary installed via Homebrew from signed release or GitHub Releases โœ… MIT Licensed: Free and open for inspection and contributions โš ๏ธ Requires macOS Automation permission for Notes.app (user grants via System Settings) ๐Ÿ“ฆ Universal binary: Supports both Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64)

Prerequisites

System Requirements: macOS 14+ (Sonoma or later) Apple Notes.app (comes with macOS) Install via Homebrew (recommended): brew install wangwalk/tap/inotes Verify installation: inotes --version # Should show: 0.1.2 which inotes # Should be in /opt/homebrew/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/ Manual installation from GitHub Releases: Download from GitHub Releases and verify SHA256: curl -LO https://github.com/wangwalk/inotes/releases/download/v0.1.2/inotes-0.1.2-universal-apple-darwin.tar.gz # Verify checksum from release notes tar xzf inotes-0.1.2-universal-apple-darwin.tar.gz sudo cp inotes /usr/local/bin/ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/inotes Check permission: inotes status If permission is denied, the user must enable Automation access for their terminal in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation > Notes.

Output formats

FlagDescription(default)Human-readable table--json / -jJSON--plainTab-separated--quiet / -qCount only

Agent usage guidelines

Always use --json when you need to parse output programmatically. Use --no-input to disable interactive prompts in non-interactive contexts. Use --no-color when capturing output to avoid ANSI escape sequences. Identify notes by index (from the last show output) or by ID prefix (first 4+ hex characters of the note ID). Run inotes status first to verify automation permission before attempting other commands. The CLI automatically filters out notes in "Recently Deleted" folders across all supported languages.

Examples for common tasks

Create daily note: inotes add --title "Daily Notes $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" --body "## TODO\n\n## Done\n" Export all notes to JSON: inotes show all --json > notes-backup.json Find notes with specific tag: inotes search "#important" --json | jq '.[] | select(.folder == "Work")' Archive completed notes: inotes search "DONE" --folder Inbox --json | jq -r '.[].id' | while read id; do inotes edit "$id" --folder Archive done

Troubleshooting

"Automation permission denied" Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation Find your terminal app (e.g., Terminal.app, iTerm.app) Enable access to "Notes" "Command not found" Run which inotes to check if it's in your PATH If using Homebrew: brew doctor and check for warnings Try brew reinstall wangwalk/tap/inotes "Note not found" when using index Run inotes show again to get fresh indices Use ID prefix instead: inotes read A3F2 Performance issues with many notes Use --limit flag to reduce result set Filter by folder: --folder "Work" Use date filters: today, week, recent
