A Java CLI tool that extracts notes from Apple's Notes.app SQLite database and exports them as JSON or Markdown. Built with Quarkus and picocli, installable via JBang.
Use cases
- export apple notes to markdown
- get my notes out of notes.app
- convert apple notes to json
- backup apple notes data
- migrate notes from apple notes to another app
- read apple notes sqlite database
When to choose
- you're on macOS and want a simple one-command export of Apple Notes to JSON or Markdown
- you prefer installing CLI tools via JBang without manual jar handling
When to avoid
- you need a feature-rich extractor with more output options - the author recommends threeplanetssoftware's apple-notes-extractor instead
- you're not on macOS, since it reads the Apple Notes local sqlite store
- you need actively developed markdown export - it's marked as early development
