This is my first "serious" project, so please be kind I've been learning Python since last August.
The project is still in beta, and currently only supports Apple Notes — Apple Reminders integration is coming later. There’s still a lot of work ahead, but I wanted to share the first beta to get some feedback and test it out in the wild.
You can find the project here: https://github.com/antoniorodr/memo
I’d be more than grateful for any feedback, suggestions, or contributions. Thank you so much!
What My Project Does?
memo is a simple command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing your Apple Notes (and eventually Apple Reminders). It’s written in Python and aims to offer a fast, keyboard-driven way to create, search, and organize notes straight from your terminal.
Target Audience
Everyone who works primarily from the terminal and doesn’t want to switch to GUI apps just to jot down a quick note, organize thoughts, or check their Apple Notes. If you love the keyboard, minimalism, and staying in the flow — this tool is for you.
How It’s Different?
Unlike other note-taking tools or wrappers around Apple Notes, memo is built specifically for terminal-first users who want tight, native integration with macOS without relying on sync services or third-party platforms. It uses Python to directly access the native Notes database on your Mac, meaning you don’t have to leave your terminal — and your notes stay local, fast, and secure.
It’s not trying to replace full-fledged note apps, but rather to complement your workflow if you live in the shell and want a lightweight, scriptable, and distraction-free way to interact with your Apple Notes.
