tomevault-io Apple Notes Creation & Editing
Overview
Tools to interact with Apple Notes. Notes are scoped to an automatically created agent-notes folder. Notes are formatted using HTML—supported elements are listed below.
When to Use
- Storing information that should persist across sessions
- Saving notes, ideas, or data the User wants to keep
- Creating task lists, reminders, or reference material
- When the User explicitly asks to save/remember something in notes
How to Use
- List existing notes to see what's available
- Read a note to get its HTML content
- Create new notes with HTML-formatted body
- Delete notes by title (to edit: read → delete → create)
Usage
# List notes
python scripts/list-notes.py
# Create note (heredoc for reliable input)
cat << 'EOF' | python scripts/create-note.py --title "My Note"
<div>Content here</div>
EOF
# Read note
python scripts/read-note.py --title "My Note"
# Delete note
python scripts/delete-note.py --title "My Note"
Note: The
--titleis automatically formatted as an<h1>header. Body content is piped via stdin using heredoc (<< 'EOF') to avoid shell escaping issues.
