Procedure

  1. Use AppleScript to retrieve the note:

    tell application "Notes"
        set notesList to notes whose name contains "{{SEARCH_TERM}}"
        if (count of notesList) > 0 then
            set theNote to item 1 of notesList
            return body of theNote
        else
            return "ERROR: No note found"

  2. If no result, retry with shorter or alternate keywords from the original query

  3. Provide the requested analysis, feedback, or summary on the retrieved content

Notes

  • Requires Apple Notes permissions for AppleScript access
  • Search is case-insensitive and matches partial note names; if multiple notes match, the first result is returned
  • Note content is returned as plain text; rich text formatting may be simplified

Example

what do you think of the principles in my Apple Notes
retrieve my note called Meeting Notes and summarize it
read my Apple Note about goals and give me feedback
find the note named Projects and review it
get my Principles note and analyze it
