# inotes — Apple Notes CLI `inotes` is a Typer command line for **Apple Notes** — list, search, read, create, edit, delete, pin, unpin, attach local files, and inventory note links. Part of the `imsg` / `imail` / `inotes` / `wa` local-first tool family. ```bash inotes list --limit 20 inotes search "standup" --json inotes show "Project Plan" inotes create --title "Idea" --body "…" inotes edit --title "Idea" --body "Revised text" inotes pin "Project Plan" inotes unpin "Project Plan" inotes attach "Project Plan" --file ./demo.wav inotes attachments "Project Plan" --json inotes links --output ./inotes-links.md inotes update ``` --- ## macOS only `inotes` drives **Notes.app** through AppleScript (`osascript`), which only exists on macOS.

Verify it's working with: ```bash inotes doctor ``` --- ## Quick start ```bash inotes doctor # verify Notes.app access inotes list --limit 20 # recent note titles inotes list -j # {"notes": [...]} inotes search "standup" --limit 10 --json # search titles + bodies inotes show "My Note" # exact-title lookup inotes create --title "Idea" --body "…" # new note inotes create --title "Work" --body "…" --folder "Projects" i…
