This skill manages Apple Notes via

memo
and Apple Reminders via
remindctl
.

Apple Notes —
memo

memo list                          # List all notes
memo list --folder "Work"          # List notes in a folder
memo search "query"                # Search notes by content or title
memo read "Note Title"             # Read a specific note
memo create "Title" "Body text"    # Create a new note
memo create --folder "Work" "Title" "Body"
memo delete "Note Title"           # Delete a note
memo folders                       # List all folders

Apple Reminders —
remindctl

remindctl list                     # List all reminders
remindctl list "List Name"         # List reminders in a specific list
remindctl add "Task" --due "tomorrow 9am"
remindctl add "Task" --list "Work" --due "2026-03-01"
remindctl complete "Task name"     # Mark reminder as complete
remindctl delete "Task name"       # Delete a reminder
remindctl lists                    # Show all reminder lists

Usage Guidelines

  • Use
    memo search
    before creating to avoid duplicates.
  • Dates for
    remindctl --due
    accept natural language ("tomorrow", "next Monday") and ISO format.
  • If
    memo
    or
    remindctl
    is not found, inform the user and suggest installing the OpenPaw c-notes skill.
  • Notes are stored locally in Apple Notes app — no external API needed.

Notes

  • memo
    requires macOS and Apple Notes app.
  • remindctl
    requires macOS and Apple Reminders app.
  • Both tools operate on the local user account.
