Apple Notes Data Handling
Overview
Apple Notes stores content as HTML internally. Understanding the data format is essential for import/export operations.
Note Body HTML Format
<!-- Apple Notes uses a subset of HTML -->
<div><h1>Title</h1></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Paragraph text here.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Bold text</b> and <i>italic text</i></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><ul><li>List item 1</li><li>List item 2</li></ul></div>
<!-- Checklists use a custom attribute -->
<div><ul class="com-apple-note-checklist">
<li class="done">Completed item</li>
<li>Incomplete item</li>
</ul></div>

Attachment Handling
# List notes with attachments
osascript -l JavaScript -e "
const Notes = Application(\"Notes\");
Notes.defaultAccount.notes()
.filter(n => n.attachments().length > 0)
.map(n => \`\${n.name()}: \${n.attachments().length} attachments\`)
.join(\"\\n\");
