Apple Notes Webhooks & Events
Overview
Apple Notes has no webhook API. Monitor changes using: (1) File system watching on the Notes database, (2) Apple Shortcuts automation triggers, or (3) Periodic polling via JXA.
Polling-Based Change Detection
// src/events/notes-watcher.ts
import { execSync } from "child_process";
interface NoteSnapshot { id: string; title: string; modified: string; }
let lastSnapshot: Map<string, string> = new Map();
function detectChanges(): { added: string[]; modified: string[]; deleted: string[] } {
const current = JSON.parse(execSync(
`osascript -l JavaScript -e 'JSON.stringify(Application("Notes").defaultAccount.notes().map(n => ({id: n.id(), title: n.name(), modified: n.modificationDate().toISOString()})))'`,
{ encoding: "utf8" }
)) as NoteSnapshot[];
const currentMap = new Map(current.map(n => [n.id, n.modified]));
const added = current.filter(n => !lastSnapshot.has(n.id)).map(n => n.title);
const modified = current.filter(n => lastSnapshot.has(n.id) && lastSnapshot.get(n.id) !== n.modified).map(n => n.title);
const deleted = [...lastSnapshot.keys()].filter(id => !currentMap.has(id));
lastSnapshot = currentMap;
return { added, modified, deleted };
}
// Poll every 60 seconds
setInterval(() => {
const changes = detectChanges();
if (changes.added.length || changes.modified.length || changes.deleted.length) {
console.log("Changes detected:", changes);
}
}, 60000);
