# Apple Notes And Reminders

Apple Notes And Reminders manages Apple Notes with memo and Apple Reminders with remindctl from the command line. Use it to list, search, read, create notes, and add or complete reminders on macOS.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/daxaur/openpaw/tree/main/skills/c-notes ~/.claude/skills/c-notes
```

## README

This skill manages Apple Notes via `memo` and Apple Reminders via `remindctl`.

## Apple Notes — `memo`

```bash
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`

```bash
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.
