CLI reads Apple Notes SQLite directly, 2500x faster than AppleScript-based integrations
autocar24 · reddit · 2026-09-09
Every Apple Notes integration for AI agents (Claude desktop connector, OpenClaw, Hermes, memo) uses AppleScript, making full-text search painfully slow — 220 seconds on the author's 749-note store, with some tools silently skipping note bodies. His new apple-notes-cli reads NoteStore.sqlite directly: same search in 0.087 seconds, no cache, always live data. Ships with relevance-ranked full-text search, recency queries, Markdown export, and full export preserving folder trees. Read-only by design to keep CloudKit sync intact, and includes a Claude Code skill. Open source.
