Apple Notes Rate Limits
Overview
Apple Notes does not have API rate limits, but iCloud sync and AppleEvent processing create practical throughput limits.
Practical Limits
| Operation | Safe Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Create note | 1/second | iCloud sync buffer |
| Read note | 10/second | Local operation |
| Search notes | 2/second | Full-text scan |
| Move note | 1/second | Triggers sync |
| Delete note | 1/second | Triggers sync |
| Batch (100 notes) | ~2 minutes | With 1s delays |
Throttled Operations
import { execSync } from "child_process";
async function throttledNoteOps(operations: Array<() => void>, delayMs = 1000) {
for (const op of operations) {
op();
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delayMs));
}
}
