Plain meaning

What does it add to Hermes?

Manage Apple Notes via memo CLI: create, search, edit

Apple Notes is a skill related to memory and knowledge. It helps Hermes retrieve past information or stored knowledge instead of starting from zero in every session.

This plain-language explanation is based on the publisher description. The original text remains visible for verification.

Use it when

Use it when your goal in memory and knowledge is clear and you can limit it to the data and actions it actually needs.

Skip it when

Do not add it merely to experiment when Hermes already has a simpler path, or when you cannot review its source and permissions.

Who is it for?

Best for users who want a repeatable way of working inside Hermes.

Safe first test

Add a non-sensitive note, start a new session, and verify retrieval preserves the meaning without inventing details.

Data source

This entry was indexed from Hermes Bundled Skills. Our explanation interprets the type and domain without inventing a capability not present upstream.

!
Security review

The source is official or editorially reviewed, but you still need to review permissions and version compatibility.

Safe setup path

Inspect, install, then test.

  1. 01
    Open the source

    Match the publisher, license, and description to your need. Check the real update history.

  2. 02
    Review permissions and secrets

    Never paste a secret value into this site. Use environment-variable names and grant the smallest scope.

  3. 03
    Copy setup only after review

    The controls below copy text. They do not execute commands on your device.

  4. 04
    Test with a non-sensitive task

    Inspect the visible tools, then exclude write or delete tools you do not need.

Reference: full SKILL.md

Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

Use memo to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. Notes sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

Prerequisites

Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

  • macOS with Notes.app
  • Install: brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo
  • Grant Automation access to Notes.app when prompted (System Settings → Privacy → Automation)

When to Use

Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

  • 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

Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

  • Obsidian vault management → use the obsidian skill
  • Bear Notes → separate app (not supported here)
  • Quick agent-only notes → use the memory tool instead

Quick Reference

Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

View Notes

Shell3 lines
memo notes                        # List all notes
memo notes -f "Folder Name"       # Filter by folder
memo notes -s "query"             # Search notes (fuzzy)

Create Notes

Shell2 lines
memo notes -a                     # Add a note (opens your $EDITOR)
memo notes -a -f "Folder Name"    # Add a note into a specific folder

-a/--add is a bare flag — it opens your $EDITOR to compose the note; it does not take a title argument. Use -f/--folder to target a folder. Set $EDITOR first (e.g. export EDITOR=vim).

Edit Notes

Shell1 line
memo notes -e                     # Interactive selection to edit

Delete Notes

Shell1 line
memo notes -d                     # Interactive selection to delete

Move Notes

Shell1 line
memo notes -m                     # Move note to folder (interactive)

Export Notes

Shell1 line
memo notes -ex                    # Export to HTML/Markdown

Limitations

Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

  • Cannot edit notes containing images or attachments
  • Interactive prompts require terminal access (use pty=true if needed)
  • macOS only — requires Apple Notes.app

Rules

Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

  1. Prefer Apple Notes when user wants cross-device sync (iPhone/iPad/Mac)
  2. Use the memory tool for agent-internal notes that don't need to sync
  3. Use the obsidian skill for Markdown-native knowledge management
