Create, organize, search, and export Apple Notes from the macOS command line.
Overall, this is an open-source macOS CLI for managing Apple Notes locally, with no keys and no remote endpoints. The main risks are routine local automation access to Notes.app and local note read/write operations, so it stays in the caution range; no explicit egress, privilege, or injection red flags are evident.
No keys, tokens, or environment variables are required, so credential exposure risk is effectively absent.
No remote endpoints or upload targets are stated; the described functionality is local to macOS/Notes.app.
The skill runs a local CLI in the terminal and may request macOS Automation access to Notes.app; this is normal local automation, but it does touch a system control surface.
It can read, create, edit, delete, search, move, and export Apple Notes, covering the full note lifecycle; this is local data access without clear over-privilege.
It comes from a GitHub open-source repository with very high community use, which lowers supply-chain uncertainty; however, the license is undeclared and maintenance status is unknown, so source review is still advisable.
